Description
TickDoctor provides a stunning visual atlas of the most common ticks encountered in North America. Although not yet comprehensive, most common ticks are represented. Within each species, you'll be able to identify males, females, and nymphs... and many times we're able to include images of the engorged female which often looks very different from its non-fed state.
More than just a beautiful atlas, TickDoctor provides instructions for prevention of tick bites and how to remove them if bites should occur. If a bite has occurred, or if you're just plain curious, we've included medically relevant data on each species describing which diseases (such as Lyme Disease) have been associated with it.
While this app should never substitute for the advice of a physician, it will help guide you to the identification of the tick in question and provide a framework of reference for dealing with "what to do next."

Good Info
Nice info to have in your pocket. I love in tick infested MD. All dogs and spouse have had Lyme. We need to be on top of it and this is good info.
Excellent
Just what I was looking for. Simple, good pictures (thanks for including some when engorged) and advice. Pictures of tick bites (Lyme "bullseye" for example) might be useful, but this is still a great guide.
Visiting Texas
I've never seen a tick before this week. My son and I were visiting my parents in Houston for Turkeyday. Their Keeshond kept picking up ticks even with advantix and collar, etc. Turns out it was a tick species in this atlas.
