PSA: While You're Out Having Fun In The Woods...

...Make sure to check for ticks. On yourself, dogs, and children.

Caught this one in the shower yesterday. He was dead by the time I caught him and pulled it off. No idea when it bit me. I never even felt it.

There was a solid red ring to the black sharpie last night. When I woke up this morning, it was just the small, darker inner ring and that leg/knee was really sore. The outer ring developed throughout the day.

Get to the doctor..good chance that it gave you lymes..but if they catch it early enough they can treat it. Go ASAP!
