r/ticks

so far this year i’ve found two! both very small and i happened to spot both of them on the same hand? one right at the beginning of a hike, and one while tanning on the porch!

Lost count after 67, pulled a few off me as well. They are horrible this year, and don’t give a rip about OTC tick prevention.. count your days Frontline.

They are even climbing on the outside of my window screens, the amount of them this year is absurd.

Hi all,
I’m looking to treat my field clothing with permethrin, but can’t find any in Canada (I’m in Ontario) that is explicitly for clothing.
I found a brand called Doktor Doom for horses which contains 0.5% permethrin. I’m wondering if anyone has actually used this and if it’s safe and actually effective. (I’m not a horse).
Here’s a link to it: https://www.amazon.ca/Doktor-Doom-Lasting-Residual-Insecticide/dp/B0D9HS5199

Thanks!

Repost cuz i can’t figure out how to add more pics. Looks like a deer/black legged tick? Not engorged in the least. So likely not enough time to transmit Lyme? New England so right in the hot zone.

Pulled this tick off my dog. Worried about her now. Can someone please ID this tick and let me know if I need to do anything for my dogs well-being?

I noticed this on a stray cat that I feed with the intention of one day taking in if I can get him to a vet. It's about half way down his back and very central (almost on spine). I don't think he is nuetered. He doesnt seem bothered by me touching it. It feels like a thick rubber balloon almost.Thanks.

I know it's not the best photo the dog won't let us get it out please advice if you have any!

I also have horrible anxiety about ticks so if you have any advice to avoid them please let me know SOUTH NEW JERSEY

Found this on my kiddos head. I’m freaking out. Must have been there from either Thursday 4/30 or Friday 5/1. Is this a deer tick? We live in Dover Delaware. Pls help!!

It was attached. Looks like the size I’m used to with deer ticks, but I’m a seeing the markings of a Lone Star or Dog Tick?

Found two ticks on my cat this evening. I’m worried they could be Deer Ticks or carrying Lymes Disease. We’re in Maryland.

Edit: The picture is zoomed in with the flash on. They were small. I can’t think of anything to compare the size to other than a large, swollen sesame seed.

Northern New Jersey, sorry if the pictures are bad. Found it on my ear after gardening but don’t think it latched on. About 2 mm, pictured on a square of toilet paper in a ziploc bag. Thank you in advance!

Please help! For reference I am in North New Jersey.

This is the second bug I’ve found amongst my clothes that have been washed. I found this particular one in a set of clothes that I washed with hot water the night before. I found a third one that looked like this crawling near my dogs blanket and found what looks like a small bite on her stomach. I haven’t found anything attached to me and do not believe whatever bit her was attached as she is frequently pet on her stomach and rolls around a lot.

I think I got it off pretty much right when it attached. Any info is appreciated!
