The lone star tick is found in southern states as well as along the East coast up to Maine (see map below). Cases of STARI are most common in the south, although cases have been reported as far north as New Jersey. It is highly likely that cases of STARI have been mistaken for LD due to similarities in symptomology.
Although at least 15 species of ticks occur in Illinois, only a few of these ticks are likely to be encountered by people: American dog tick, lone star tick, blacklegged (deer) tick, brown dog tick and winter tick.here are two groups of ticks, sometimes called the hard ticks and soft ticks. Hard ticks, like the common dog tick, have a hard shield just behind the mouthparts (sometimes incorrectly called the head); unfed hard ticks are shaped like a flat seed.
