A TICKle Of A Day

Hello to everyone who is reading this. Not that I think that there is many readers to my blog. But today lets talk about ticks. So yesterdays was Easter and we had an Easter egg hunt like some people like to do. Now, I’m from central Pennsylvania, so theres a lot of rural areas around. It just so happens that the hunt did take place in a rural area with high grasses and bushes and stuff. Also I’m wearing shorts. So keep all that in mind. So I hunt for the eggs I find three…blah…blah…blah…you’ve heard it before. This morning I wake up. My leg hurts. Ok so I pulled a muscle. NBD. I watch my morning show on YouTube, Good Mythical Morning. Excellent show. I finish that. I get out of bed. My leg really hurts, almost like it’s getting a shot. I feel the back of my leg and there’s bump. I’m like alright something bit me. I look back. I see legs sticking out of this black thing on my leg. A tick. Let me tell you, the word tickle did not come from the word tick. So I look up how to remove one, the government has a page saying to pull it out with tweezers. I did that. I do not recommend that. It took my an hour to remove it with tweezers. I’d actually recommend painting over it with clear nail polish or olive oil. It will need to back out to breathe. So when I pulled it out it just like tore it apart and it was really hard to get the head out, but I managed. It’s not fun. So I got medicine and a temperature of 100 degrees F. I don’t think I got the bullseye thing but its hard to see. The doc told me 10% of people get Lyme’s disease without developing that bullseye so better safe than sorry. Anyways that’s the story for today, it’s a little eh, but I’m feeling a little eh as well, I’ll post again tomorrow.
