tick ID? #876314

Asked July 08, 2024, 11:34 AM EDT

Hello, I pulled this tick (with a bit of my skin) off me today. Can you ID it from this photo? Not sure where I picked it up. I assume my neighborhood since I have been sick since returning from Wisconsin (on the 1st). I live in SE Portland. thanks John

Expert Response

I am sorry about this stressful situation. We do not have any qualified experts who can offer medical advice on Ask Extension, including ticks and treatment in case that's what you have. Visiting a physician is our top recommendation, since they can also offer treatment options. We also suggest contacting your county’s health department at https://www.multco.us/health for more informed assistance.
