Default Bitten by deer tick

Hey guys,

I just wanted to remind everyone to be careful and thorough when checking yourself over after leaving the woods. I'm a tick freak, I hate them, I check myself over always after leaving the woods but this little bugger avoided detection. So far it looks like I'm lucky and have dodged the bullet.I have not had the typical bulleyes rash that is associated with lyme disease although I have scheduled an appiontment to have my blood tested. Hopefully all will remain well but I'll have to wait and see.

So, check yourself well. Get someone else to check you back side. This little critter bit my posterior. I never felt him at all and obviously overlooked him in my post woods ritual.
