A tick is a small eight-legged bug that is in the same family of creatures as spiders. Ticks suck blood to complete their lifecycle.
Ticks can bite anywhere on the body. They are often attracted to moist areas of the body, such as the groin or underarms.
Ticks are common in many parts of the world, including the United States. Ticks may bite animals and humans. Although most tick bites are harmless, ticks can also transmit certain diseases when they bite.
