The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services can identify ticks by photos you send them. If you find a tick and would like to have it identified:

1. Remove the tick and find a well-lit area.
2. Aim the camera as close to the tick as possible and take a picture.
3. Flip the tick over and take a picture of the tick's belly.
4. Email both pictures to [email protected] with the following information:
   • The date the tick was found.
   • If the tick is alive or dead.
   • The location the tick exposure likely occurred (city, county, state, type of area).
   • What the tick was on (Person, animal, or other).
