An exotic tick turning up in some neighboring states has yet to be documented in Pennsylvania, but two Penn State professors researching the invasive bloodsucker say it’s probably here, too.

Identified in this country for the first time last year when it was found on a sheep in New Jersey, the longhorned tick is native to East Asia and, like other parasitic ticks, feeds on the blood of mammals, birds and other hosts. Longhorned ticks have since been discovered in New York, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Arkansas, begging the question of if and when it will crop up in the Keystone State.
