What's worse than finding a tick on your arm?
Finding half a tick in your arm.
I am always trimming my hair and yesterday while snipping, I noticed an inch red circle around a dot in the mirror, on my upper arm. In the center was a dot. I grabbed the magnifying glass and saw little black LEGS!! My husband told me to get the tweezers and he plucked it out. At least as much as he could. Then I called my doc and he had a look and sent me off to pick up two tablets of Doxycycline. It was a deer tick and they can carry Lyme Disease. Don't risk it, take precautions if you get bitten.
