Summary

Description
English: A Maryland woman finds an adult lone star tick, or Amblyomma americanum, on her skin. Lone star ticks can transmit the pathogens that cause diseases such as ehrlichiosis and Southern tick-associated rash illness, or STARI. Bites from juvenile lone star ticks have been associated with alpha-gal syndrome, which causes a rare allergy to a component of red meat. Credit: NIAID
