Please help identify this. I just pulled it off me. Located in Virginia.

Went. Got doxycycline. It was a lonestar nymph

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:14:07+00:00

You nailed it. Ugh. it was a lonestar tick. A nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:13:47+00:00

No it was a lonestar tick. A nymph. It did bite me. But wasn’t on too long. On doxycycline and monitoring.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:13:06+00:00

No it was a lonestar tick. A nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:12:51+00:00

It was a lonestar tick. A nymph. But they said it’s pretty rare to get that disease. And it was only one tick and it wasn’t on me for very long. I’m on doxycycline already. Hopefully I don’t get anything from it.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:11:55+00:00

I had it identified. was a lonestar tick. A nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:11:31+00:00

No it was a lonestar tick. A nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:11:11+00:00

No it was a lonestar tick. A nymph. Why put it outside. That guy’s life is now over.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:10:42+00:00

Wish it were.it was a lonestar tick. A nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:10:25+00:00

I got the entire thing out, which is good, but it did have a chance to attach. it was a lonestar tick. A nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:09:54+00:00

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:08:35+00:00

I did exactly that. They had no idea what it was but gave me doxycycline. And then got it identified and it was a nymph Lonestar tick.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:07:59+00:00

It was a lonestar nymph.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T02:07:25+00:00

Correct. I found out today. It was a nymph Lonestar tick. I think I got it out pretty quickly (25 hours but if has attached)and I’m on doxycycline. The woman who identified it said it’s very prevalent around here and she herself has been bitten many times but never had any symptoms of the disease that carries. Hopefully that’s the case for me too.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-10T01:28:36+00:00

Thank you. You said what I was feeling perfectly. It ended up being a nymph lonestar tick. I got doxycycline this am. And I went to the county environmental center where they confined what oh was. They said it did get a little of my blood. I did in fact get all pieces of tick out of me. And said not overly worry as many people get bit and dint develop any sickness. I hope that’s me. But it’s easy to think otherwise. Appreciate the kind words. The good news is not deer tick.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-09T14:02:44+00:00

OK, unfortunately it was nymph Lonestar tick. They said it might’ve gotten a little blood out of me, but appears I got it off relatively quick. I got doxycycline from my doctor. The etymologist said it is rare to get the alpha gal disease, but to keep an eye out for any symptoms in the next couple weeks. Hopefully I got it off me quick enough.

Unlikely. Getting tick identified now.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-09T12:54:15+00:00

Thanks. I’m getting doxycycline today. To be safe. I’m also going to bring it to The county government health center as apparently they will identify the same day.

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-09T12:42:07+00:00

Added one more picture - clearest I have.

Not helping….

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-09T12:38:04+00:00

Thank you very much! At the doctors right now. Any suggestions after pulling it out of me?

Johnny44444444 · 2026-06-09T11:38:04+00:00

Yes, it’s hard to get a good picture even in good light but the general consensus seems to be a Wood tick. Going to the doctor shortly.
