@LuFins-Dad How big is the tick?
-
Meh, not that big. In fact, our tick key couldn’t get it. Had to use tweezers.
-
Was it dark in color? Sounds like a deer tick. In which case I'm glad you're getting it checked out.

Treat yourself and then treat your lawn.
Bug-be-gone in the rotary spreader. Start from the house and work your way out, you don’t want to chase them toward the house.
We do have the yard treated every quarter.

I just had one crawl on my arm yesterday while I was on my couch. WTF? Evil fuckers.
Yes, please get checked out.
Cats?

@LuFins-Dad Hope the test result is nothing!!
I don't like ticks (but I dont think anybody does).
It is amazing that they can sense your temperature and make the jump from weeds, etc to your body as you walk by.

So the tick wasn't even tested. Apparently it was a type of tick with no known disease associations... It was just a skin infection caused by the bite and me not keeping it covered appropriately. (I really thought that 4 days was good enough)

Yay! I love a happy ending.
Looking forward to pics of your yard project, btw.
