Their size can vary, measuring less than ¼ inch, but can grow up to ½ inch when they are fully engorged.The most common tick species found in the area are the American dog tick, the lone star tick, and the blacklegged tick. A tick usually appears brown, black, or reddish-brown in color. All ticks possesses a specialized mouth barb that enables them to attach firmly to their host’s skin, making removal challenging once attached.
