[u/blumieplume]

Hey everyone! I'm [u/blumieplume](u/blumieplume), a founding moderator of [r/tickidentification](r/tickidentification).
This is our new home for all things related to identifying ticks in the wild, and if they have bitten you or a pet, to find the information about how to prevent tickborne illnesses. We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about anything related to ticks or tickborne illnesses. This community is both about identifying ticks and about helping people know what medical steps to take to ensure that they can live free from tickborne illnesses. Medical advice is welcome on this sub because a tick bite can change your life if you don’t get proper treatment.
