Another selfie of a wound already? Yesterday afternoon I was in the backyard cutting down some overgrown brush. This morning I noticed something on my side. It felt strange, so I went to the bathroom to see what it was. A tick! I grabbed my fine-point tweezers and grabbed the little sucker. It was latched on tight, but I pulled him out with a firm yank and this was the result.
We have deer roaming in the yard every so often. Here’s hoping I don’t contract Lyme Disease.
There was an article in the Globe this week about a company that if you send them your tick in a plastic bag they will let you know what if any diseases they carried. they can be sent dead or alive. In any case, I hope it goes well.
Of course, if it develops intoba bullseye rash, then you might worry. Here in PA, it’s such a problem, we’re adviced to keep the tick and bring it in for testing.
