Tick!

Tonight I came in from mowing the lawn and trimming the bushes in front of the house and took a shower. I was rudely surprised to find a blood sucking tick on my back, just above my jeans belt. I was able to reach it and douse it with alcohol, then pulled it off. The whole area where that little bastard had latched onto me is red and swollen. I’m glad I found it right away and got it off of me. But I am worried that I might have some type of infection at the bite site. Guess I have to see if it gets any worse and then maybe go to the doctor for some meds.
