Comments

This tick was found embedded on the neck of a healthy 35-year-old man. Note that the tick is firmly attached by its mouthparts, and there is some bruising in the surrounding skin. This female tick is partially engorged. The brusing appears more prominently under dermascopic examination in the associated image.
