How Small Can Ticks Get?
Posted by Mosquito Squad

If you’ve ever seen a tick, you know how minuscule these parasites are. Even at its largest, a tick probably won’t exceed the size of an apple seed when searching for a host to attach to. When engorged with blood, a tick is far larger and far more noticeable, but the real concern with ticks is during the adolescent stage when they are known as “nymph” ticks. At this early stage in their life cycle, ticks can be as small as a poppy seed, which makes recognizing one significantly more difficult. To make matters worse, ticks can transmit diseases like Lyme disease at all life stages, making preventative measures crucial in our region. Based on estimates from the CDC, ticks are likely to cause nearly 500,000 Lyme disease infections in the U.S. each year, and our area is particularly susceptible to this disease thanks to the huge tick populations here.
