Three types of rodent mites readily bite humans: the house mouse mite (Liponyssoides saguineus), spiny rat mite (Laelaps echidnina) and tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti). The house mouse mite prefers to suck the blood of mice, but also will bite rats and people, often causing a rash around the bite.

From 1868 until 1913, 90 percent of all revenue came from taxes on liquor, beer, wine and tobacco. Income tax repealed.
