Can I buy ticks?

Question

looking for ticks such as deer ticks, the blood eating kind. Just wondering if it was possible for me to buy them so i don't have to go find them for myself.

Answer 1

Find any old stray hound dog and knock yourself out.

Answer 2

Pick at my dog - $5.00 each.

Answer 3

i dont think you could but them but i think you could get them frorm a stray dog or something:)

Answer 4

I doubt you could find them at Wal-Mart except perhaps on a few shoppers. Buying earthworms, ladybugs and other beneficial insects is not difficult, but there is nothing I can think of that would be a benefit gained from them, unless you are a biologist studying Lyme Disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever .

Both these diseases are very debilitating and can lead to eventual disablement and death. Do not go looking for trouble because this trouble really BITES.

Answer 5

i guess you can buy them online just like you can get almost anything there

Answer 6

Why do you want them? -_-

Answer 7

Is this for research purposes?  If so, all you need to do is use Google Scholar to find out who is doing research on Ixodes scapularis (Latin name for deer ticks).  They would be able to put you in contact with whatever university maintains populations of them for research.

Otherwise, they are not available anywhere as there really is not a market for them.

Answer 8

Google Tick-tron! :)
