Well, I felt something picking me on my back. So , I had my sister- in- law look at it, and she said it was a tick. She pulled it off. She said It's not the kind of tick that causes Lyme disease. We were out bike riding in a wooded area looking at deer. This was in Wis back in the 80s.

I forget where you rest your Laurels Colleen.  I'm in Texas and YES it's Hot - 122 according to my car temp!  Thanks for the TU!

First of all you can see the little buggers.  They are about the size of the top of a Q-Tip unless they are engorged with blood, then they can get huge. They are red when they are small and have tiny little legs.  If you have been in the woods or other tick areas, you need to check yourself for ticks.  Especially, under your arms, behind your ears, in your hair and in your groin area.  Make sure you pull the entire body AND head when you pull it out.  I'm sure you can google ticks and look at some pictures and get some medical advice.  They carry Lyme Disease and other stuff too.

The ticks around here are grey or black.
