Tick, Tick - ME

Ewwww. I knew it was only a matter of time until I got a tick from being/working out in the pastures.

 

 I came home today from working out in the pastures with the horses. I got into a hot shower, and when I got out, I started to dry off. I looked in the mirror, and I starting drying off.  I look at my neck where I a saw this "mole". What? A mole on my neck! I don't have a mole on my neck!!!!

Looking closer, yep - it was a tick. I didn't even feel it crawling on me or biting me for that matter. It was stuck on there good! It took quite a tug to get it off. It sounds gross, but everyone around here just blows it off. They are that common.

Now I have that stupid country song stuck in my head "I want to check you for ticks"! Believe me, it has a whole 'nother meaning right now!
