EDIT: changing from northern Minnesota to southeast Nebraska due to location/time I most likely picked up the tick. Was likely attached for three days.

Unsure species. Was attached for approximately 24 hours.

Submitted to Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County for identification.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Client had recently returned from a trip to Virginia, where he spent a lot of time outdoors.

Tick was found attached; likely attached for less than 24 hours.

One of 5 ticks I found on me in the last 3-4 weeks. 3 of them were attached. I live across the street from a wooded area. Ticks have been a rare issue in the 15 years I've been here. These are much smaller ticks than those I've seen before.
