    Ewww. Ticks are so, so gross. The good news is, I'm assuming you shower every day, so you would have noticed it sooner had it been on you for more than 24 hours. I'm pretty sure the chances of it transmitting something to you in less time than that are very slim, but definitely keep an eye on it anyways.

    I read before that if you take a Q-tip with some liquid soap and hold it on the tick for several minutes, it is suppose to back out on it's own. Never had to try it though so I do not know if it works. Maybe even vaseline? Something that will smother it, the tick is suppose to come off with the Q-tip. I guess worth a shot, that way you know you got the whole thing.

    UUGGHHH!! Poor you. I'd have freaked out as well finding one of those horrid things latched onto me.

    Hope your leg is ok.

    Probaby in the woods or the high grass I walk in. Even though I wear long pants, socks & a long shirt. It may of been on Fenway and then decided it would eat me. Gross. I've had them in the bed with me...seriously gross. Next thing you know, I feel something crawling on my arm and low & behold it's a tick. I hate ticks sooo much.
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!
