Tick Bite

Deer Tick (Black-Legged Tick)

The Deer Tick (also called black-legged tick) is between the size of a poppy seed and an apple seed.

The deer tick is found on a wide rage of hosts including mammals, birds and reptiles.

This tick can transmit Lyme disease to humans and animals during feeding; this occurs when the tick inserts its mouth parts into the skin of a host and slowly ingests the host's blood.
