when I took a shower this morning, then when getting dressed I investigated further. It was not a mole. It was a tick! And I have no idea where it came from. We go camping up north a lot, in the woods, and DH has had them on him from time to time as he likes to cut/maintain walking/quad trails in our woods and cuts downed trees for firewood, etc. But I haven't had one on me...until now. And we came home on Monday from up there, and I did laundry, but who knows where it came from, maybe even here (we live in the country, on a farm). Freaked me out when I realized it was definitely a tick, and it did bite but wasn't engorged in blood so hadn't been there long thankfully. And from looking at pictures it appears to me to be a dog tick and not a deer tick. I washed the spot where it bit (upper thigh) and will keep watch of it. I'm still kind of nervous about it though.
Anyone else have experience with tick bites?
