for the most part- they don't bother me. I just fear having one in my back again. I had three of the buggers in places I couldn't reach so I asked the wife to pull them. She took out chunks  :bash:. I guess she didn't know to just pull on the tick and not all the skin around it.  I was told that the odds of getting bit by one with limes was pretty slim but to save any pulled out just in case so it could be tested. Not sure what the actual odds are of them being infected but I always save them in a baggy.

Its funny that ticks seem to like some people more than others, kinda like skeeters.  Ive had em crawling on me but never bitten.  Weird.
MAGA!  Again..

I think I got them off before they had time to bite. They were crawling all around in my socks and calves. Flicked them off into the water. Felt like I had stuff crawling on me the whole ride home.
