It is never to early to learn more about ticks than previously known.
I thought a tick was what only attaches to deer or pets. Never knew there were a variety of different ones.
The resource page showing all the varieties of ticks with images was informative.
This was informative in detail as well.
HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE AN ATTACHED TICK
Tweezers are the best tool to use.
Place tweezers as close to the skin as pollable. Try to grab the tick's head or just above it.
Pull upward with a slow and steady motion.
Try to avoid breaking the tick, but don't be alarmed if the head breaks off and remains in the skin. Disease transmission is not possible without the entire body.
Disinfect the bite area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.
Your physician may be interested in identifying the tick.
Consider saving it in a baggy or pill vial. Label the container with the date the tick was removed and location of the tick bite on the body.
Pay attention to your health for a few weeks after being bitten by a tick.
See your doctor if you develop a rash, fever, aches, fatigue, or swollen joints.
But thank you to her as well! 🎉
Ticks man, just why. I hope people come back around to making a viable Lyme vaccine. The sht is nasty and so prevalent these days.

One exists it's just not in production because no one buys it. Definitely should advertise vaccines better, cause they're good.
I'd love to be able to get an effective Lyme vaccine. The one we have is apparently "about 75% effective in blocking the disease.… 'It wasn't a perfect vaccine, but it was good,'"
