I think we found a Tick in the house

It looked like a tick from a picture I had - we do have a cat. What if one gets attached to someone in the house?

Use a tweezer and grab as close to the head as possible and pull straight out. Make sure you get all the pieces. Keep the area clean. A tick has to be on the body at least 24 hours before it can spread Lyme and not all ticks carry Lyme. I don't even know if Lyme Disease is prevalent in your area. Very prevalent here. PM me if you have any questions

Actually, it was on a wall. I think it was a tick - I hope it wasn't!
