We present the case summary of the first human recognized to have been bitten by the Haemaphysalis longicornis tick in the United States, which occurred in New York State. Subsequent field studies confirmed that this tick was present in multiple geographic locations near the patient's residence, including on manicured lawns.
Keywords: Haemaphysalis longicornis; Asian longhorned tick; Lyme disease; tick; tick bite.
