Tick ID

Photograph a tick and Tick ID names the species, then asks how long it was attached — because that combination, not the species alone, is what decides your risk. You get the diseases that species can carry, what to watch for, and how to remove one safely.

Health and safety: Tick ID is an educational aid, not a diagnosis and not a substitute for a doctor. Identifications are AI-generated and can be wrong. A low-risk result is not a reason to skip medical advice. If you feel unwell after a tick bite — fever, chills, aching joints, or a rash spreading from the bite — contact a doctor. In an emergency call your local emergency number (911 in the US).
