Patent number 11094063 is assigned to International Business Machines Corporation (Armonk, New York, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Ticks are carriers of Lyme disease. With the recent increase of tick infestations in the world, more and more people may be at risk for Lyme disease. One of the best ways to prevent Lyme disease is to identify any ticks present on your skin and to then carefully remove these ticks. If left on long enough to start feeding, ticks may transfer Lyme disease. However, ticks can be very small, as small as 0.5 mm. Given that ticks tend to like hiding in areas near hair, it may be difficult or impossible for a person to check every portion of a body, particularly their own body."
