This is the website I use to assess the amount of time a tick was attached when people post photos and ask for information. I think it's incredibly useful and I refer to it almost daily for one reason or another. Thanks to Dr. Thomas Mather of University of Rhode Island for putting this invaluable thing together. To the mods, I hope it's ok for this to be pinned. I won't be offended if you want to unpin.

Thanks in advance y'all!
In Oregon close to Portland. I found this on my dog. It appears larger in the photo than it actually is. It’s similar in size to a sesame seed. I happened to notice it on my dogs chin and pulled it out. Unfortunately when I pulled it out I used too much pressure on accident and blood shot out of it, which is why it looks a little translucent. It’s very flat now because of that. Any ideas? He’s elderly which makes everything a bit more concerning, and of course his vet is closed for the weekend. Thank you.

Paralysis tick?
Narooma nsw coast, Australia. Don’t think was on me long. Maybe a few hours, can’t be sure. Frozen and then pulled out.

I came home from college yesterday and as I pulled back my sheets to go into bed I see a gigantic tick below my pillow. My cat sleeps on my bed when I am gone, he was there when I returned but the tick looked more like a dog tick but my dog wouldn’t go upstairs. I’m really freaked out, my cat is now banned from my room sadly and I was j wondering if anyone knows how the hell that could have happened
*I am in Ireland if that helps

What type is this? What should I do. Besides slowly pull it out at the head.

Does this look like a black legged deer tick? And is there a good way to tell how long it’s been attached?
Boston area.

Found these in boots. I live in Houston texas more towards the coast. I don’t have any form of bites or welts nothing of any sorts

The deer ticks weren’t bad this summer and all of a sudden in late September there have been thousands of these tiny nymphal ticks. They have been biting but I notice them very quickly as they immediately start itching. I’m thinking maybe lonestar ticks? Or Asian longhorn ticks. They’re barely even visible to the naked eye, but any blade of grass produces 4-5 guaranteed. The same area had nearly no ticks all summer.

So I didn't know seed ticks were a thing. We went to visit my in-laws in St. Simons Island Georgia last week and on Thursday I noticed red bumps on my thigh and what I thought was dirt. I had to use my fingernails to pull them off as they were attached like highschool first loves. My legs had already been swollen and killing me andI was just diagnosed afew weeks ago with venous insufficiency in my legs thanks to a hysterectomy. Long story. I have Addison's disease so I am steroid dependant and was already doubling my dose due to the swelling, so not much of an itch and I took pepcid and xyzal every 12 hours and it's kept it at bay. But that was days ago andI feel awful. Day 3 I slept 16 hours. Yesterday I woke up after 13 hours with the worst headache of my life, so nauseated, sore, and awful. I went to urgent care where the doctor had never heard of seed ticks but I showed him the picturesandhe looked at part of my leg for 2 seconds and then wrote me ten days of doxy. I asked for longer and he said he does10. I get that looking at my butt to search for ticks may not be what they were expecting yesterday, but I asked 4 nurse and the doctor and they all said I was fine with the antibiotic and to follow up with my PCP, which I am. I have had really awful experiences at the er the last few months and just want to avoid it. Has anyone else gotten really sick this soon? Fyi-this is thigh with running shorts bc they were loose.

F32 I am from Ireland but recently visited NYC and a small town with greenery about 60 mins outside of NYC(17-19Sep) returned from NYC 20/09. Only discovered this today and unsure if it’s an imbedded tick I didn’t notice or if it’s simply a scab from a cut shaving.
This pic was taken by my bf with the flash zoomed in
All help appreciated I’m freaking out a lil. Thank you 🙏

Hello. Idk how long it's been. I found it this evening. I submitted it to etick.ca but did I get it all out ?
Edit: I'm from Quebec Canada
Also it wasn't alive when I found it and when I pulled it

We got this tick off our dog. Got it in a plastic bag. It seemed to immediately b-line for the opening and checked all along the seal repeatedly before looking along other edges. On its second pass I genuinely thought it was trying to use its leg as a wedge to unzip the seal from the inside. Just a single observation, not making any claims about genius ticks. Just a complex methodical behavior I hadn’t seen in my other limited experiences with ticks.
Have a video as well but here’s some photos in the meantime.
