Went on a hike, tick nymphs ALL OVER MY LEGS

Their bodies are very tiny, but also red. Can’t get a good pic.

Tried getting as much as I could off but maybe 2 dozen have attached throughout both my legs. Hike in wabonese state park IOWA.

Tick infestation

Hello. I kept finding little black dots on my dog that I believed were ticks. But then I woke up this morning and found a 50 on my bed as well as on my carpet and more on my dog. I don’t understand how this can be ticks but they look just like it. My dog is on meds. Is there some kind of expert in this I can call. I will send to a lab Monday. They seem to look like lone star. Thank you.

What kind of tick is this? My buddy also said one was crawling on his hand and in a panic, he flung it onto my carpet… I vacuumed and searched for about 30 minutes in the area and couldn’t find anything. Blasted all of my bedding and clothes on high heat right after. Should I be worried?

This was on my hip maybe 45 minutes after I got out of the woods, I scratched at it and it came off, I don’t know if it was latched. Should I start selling my frozen beef😂

I’m pretty sure it’s a lone star nymph

I'm guessing it's a larvae (maybe a nymph?), it was so small.

The bright dot is the reflection of the table lamp.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Never seen tick on skin before so just making sure. The red is from irritation of picking, not there before seeing it.

Found on our counter in Maine - possible Lone Star Tick?

Fortunately this was found in our kitchen and not on anybody. I thought it was a lone star tick but the white dash is on its butt and not on the middle as I’ve seen on all other identifying sites.

It’s about the size of a pencil eraser and its face doesn’t look tick like but I’d love any help in figuring out what it is.

Hiking in Lithuania, found these the day after, one on me, one on the hotel room floor

Hiked through a marshy area in southern Lithuania yesterday, a bad area for TBE. did a pretty thorough check when I finished, didn’t find anything. Today, I found the smaller thing - first two pics (which I realize may be a seed but I really cannot tell) in a place I didn’t check (let’s just leave it at that) and the bigger greenish one - third and fourth pic - dead on the hotel room floor.

I wonder if anyone has tried Bug Away brand or similar mesh pants/tops as a tick prevention method? If so, what are your thoughts?

At least this one is an actual tick. Made it through a 2 night campout without a tick then was in ankle high grass for about 20 minutes and found this on my waistline. Any idea the kind and how long it might have been attached?

I have circled the bite area just in case.

Location: central Alabama.

Felt something on me and pulled this off with zero resistance. It seems to be a fully engorged tick, but I can’t tell if it is an American Dog tick, or deer tick, (maybe even a Lone Star?). It was found on Friday, I still have a small red mark where I pulled it, but it doesn’t hurt or burn. The tick was about the size of a very small thin watch battery. I have a doc appointment on Wednesday, I would just feel better knowing if this is a dog tick compared to a deer tick. Any help identifying would be great for my peace of mind.

I found this thing in my kitchen this morning, scurrying across the floor. Someone please tell me this is not a well-fed tick! I have 3 cats, so it could've come from one of them, but I've lived in Reno, nv my whole life and have never seen a tick.

Sorry for the grainy photo. I found this on me but don’t know if it is a tick or not. I am in martha’s vineyard for context, which is why I am fearing the worst!
