Gah what's this?!

[NeverGotMyPuppy]

DH has just knocked something off his body. Its left a small red mark.

It was just below his belly button. The only thing we can find on the floor is this thing in the picture.

He is worried it's a tick. He did go running yesterday through some tall corn but not grass.

What do you think?!

Does it have legs...?
Looks a bit like an apple pip from the picture... Sorry not helpful

That's what I've said. Doesn't look like an insect at all. But odd that DH knocked something off him and its left a mark

Is he bleeding or is it like residue from whatever it is

Looks like a seed pod of some kind

Tic. My daughter got one on her stomach when she was 2, except it wouldn't detach. Was horrible.

It really just looks like one of those seed things, we get loads of them in the house when we leave the windows open.

He isnt bleeding

What does the red mark look like? Is it tick bites that look like a bullseye?

Yep, a tic

It's a dried tomato seed!!!

This is the mark

It's a seed. Panic not.

The thing on the tissue paper is definitely not an insect.
The question is was it what DH knocked off his stomach. I've scoured the bathroom floor and cant find anything.

That's a seed, we were at the park today and they were blowing in their multitudes onto our picnic. Any red mark is just where it was pressing into his skin, maybe a small reaction or entirely unrelated!

It's not a tick.

I've recently been on a camping holiday during which my entire family were bitten by ticks. If they actually bite you, you can't flick them off because they bury their heads in your skin with only their rear end sticking out. And if they do get flicked off, it's because they haven't yet bitten you so there would be no red mark left behind.

If he's that worried, he should see a doctor.

It's a seed.

Definitely a seed. Looks like an apple pip with “wings” either side. I get loads of them on the window sill

Looks like a bed bug to me...look just like an apple seed

And I agree you’d never get a tick off that easily! They dig their heads in and you have to tweezer them out the little bastards cling on like mad

It's a birch seed.

Definitely not a bed bug (bitter experience!)

Bed bug!

The thing on the tissue paper is definitely not an insect.

So you posted a picture asking what your DH knocked of this stomach, and added a random picture of something it isn't?

Sandwich it in sticky tape so you can get a better look in the morning

Ah right, so yes looks like a silver birch seed or similar. So you are asking could that be what caused the mark on him? Maybe if it was pressed in against his skin could have caused a red pressure mark, or maybe if he has some sort of allergy to it could have caused a red mark. Or it wasn’t that and you haven’t found what it was.....
