Very Very Very Small Tick
 

I was in the shower and looked at my leg and saw a red spot.
When I got out it looked like a splinter.
I got a Alcohol pad and rubbed it and took twesers and pulled it off.
Then looked at it with a magnafieing glass.

And gues what it is a very small tick.
I have never seen one this small.

So I scanned it on my scanner and here is what it looked like.

Hey JR, they have babies too!

keep an eye on that, my wife found one similar and it was a deer tick. the dr. put her on preventative antibiotics just in case. they didn't test it, and she hasn't shown the "bullseye." nothing to joke with, in southern maine we've had a bunch of confirmed lyme cases.

go to a DR. and get the antibiotics. can't hurt and could save you a bunch of grief. And that's putting it nicely. It's a Tetracycline Antibiotic Such as Doxycycline, Tetracycline Hyc, etc. ask your Doctor.

I don't understand why everyone hates ticks, they have feelings too!:DThey were put here for a reason, I just can't figure out what it is? I consider myselfa tick breader cause I have alot on my property. I wonder if I could get a tax break as a tick farmer? I had 9 of them on me once and after that I alwaysspray down with permathrin before going out and have no problems. The Doc can do a blood test to find out if you have lyme disease.

Goosh Jr, you have less than 48hrs and you will start acting like Buck in rut.

If you have alot of ticks around your house get some guiny hens, they love'em.

RE: Very Very Very Small Tick
 

Save the tick in case it needs to be tested for anything?

Those little bugger "tick" me off!

RE: Very Very Very Small Tick
 

I just hate ticks

Most of the so called "seed ticks" are the larval stage of the tick's life cycle. That stage of life they only have six legs, they don't aquire eight legs until a bit later in the life cycle.
