My tick was big enough that the hospital took serious interest in it! Four people came in to see it. And they retained it to show other members of the staff.

They think it was a dog tick, not a deer tick (carrier of Lyme Disease) but weren't positive. They determined that it was on me for 3+ days. Nice.

Tomorrow I'll be taking doxycycline and have to avoid the sun for 24 hours.

The experience wasn't my favorite. In fact, it was downright creepy. Like having a Democrat stuck to my back.

The ticks have been baaaad this year. My wife just pulled this one off the center of my back. It's a half inch long! Because of the location, it's a wonder that I ever saw it, but I bet it was there for 3 days.

I'm heading into urgent care right now - just to make sure she got it all and to find out what kind of tick it is. I expect I'll get antibiotics, too.

As you can see, she took a chunk of my back off of me along with that tick...
