I found this (what I think) is a Tick on me. I was wearing a Tyvek suit and took a shower after working on some weeds and cutting brush behind my fence. Can you tell if its a bad tick or has it bite me. it seem to be stuck on my neck when I felt it. What do you think. White Plains, New York Thanks Bob

I walk my boy's dog 3 or 4 times a week. Winters not a problem but summer is. While I stay out of the high grass/woods during the summer, sometimes he doesn't. He rides up front with me when we head home. Just last week, when I got home, I saw I had a small tick in my elbow from him. I then checked him and pulled 2 of your pictured ticks off him. I now spray my clothing with Sawyers Permethrin repellent beforehand (Tractor Supply).

Seems to be a bumper crop this year around here. Here too. We had a very mild winter with no really cold streaks to kill off the eggs. Usually only find a couple a year but already up to 5 this year.

They bore the head into your skin to feed on blood. I think so. The wife said today there is no rash and nothing looks like it is my skin. As per the picture I took after it looks to me like the head is in place No kidding, it freaked me out. Thanks Bob

Usually only find a couple a year but already up to 5 this year. same here as well. my best friend is constantly picking those things of his doggy. the ground hasn't froze here for almost 10 years, and this year, the only below zero weather we had was the "wind chill" when the wind was blowing a bazillion mph.......... only one snow worth shoveling, and luckily for me, the neighbor kid that does my grass fixed me up by scooping the sidewalk and driveway. couple days later [maybe a week] it was all gone.

I’d wash the area with antiseptic soap and keep an eye on it. Look up the symptoms of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and watch for any symptoms. Maybe talk with your county extension and get additional info on any other things to look for regarding the tics in your part of the country.

So far I have no rash or any thing on my skin, good news. The tick was only at the most on me 4 hours if that. Thanks Bob

I agree, you would definitely know if it had bitten you.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I went out late night to put a few things in the trash can and had shorts on last week. I came in the house and sat down to watch the news and felt something running up my leg! It was a tick just like the picture you showed, those suckers are fast! He was weaving around my leg hairs like a slalom course! Wifey got one on her in Missouri last month, found it while taking a shower, had already burrowed it's head in her arm, got the tweezers and the head broke off. Had to dig that sucker out of her arm! Had a buddy that was hairy as a sasquatch found about a dozen of them on him, we used a lighter and a fork to burn those suckers off of him, it was during a Jeep pipeline trip in the UP of Michigan...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
