Go figure I was just talking to a student Friday about these little buggers, guess I should have knocked on wood.
I never felt it as they inject somthing to freeze the area, i just saw it sticking out of me.
Here is the culprit i found in me.

Here is a pic of what I found online. It looks like I got it before it moved on to any other stage.

Well I have just got back from the doctors and confirmed that it is a deer tic. He sent me for a blood test and wrote me a prescription for Apo-doxy 100mg -Doxycycline Hyclate 1 tablet twice a day for 14 days. He said it is great that I was able to find the tic and at its early stage, most people don’t know they have been bitten and it makes it very complicated to diagnose. He put the tic in a sample jar, and when I was leaving I asked if he was sending it in for testing, no he said he was just going to keep it for himself. Well I asked for it back and was glad he gave it to me. Others have suggested on another forum that there is not much the doctor can do, but I suggest, go there, get some meds, and take precautions. The meds are meant to attack the bacteria inside your system. Blood test will take 44 business days to get done so we will see what happens.
I think I made his day as all other patients were small kids with runny noses.
