Found a tick on my DD!

Eeeeek! That is what I was afraid of, but it was too big to be a deer tick and it was still flat so I don't think it had time to do much. The area looked scary at first, but I cleaned it and the wound calmed down faster than I did!!

I think we got it early enough..... I think it had gotten on her just an hour or so earlier.

Thanks guys!
 
It's as common as the day is long here. I have probably gotten a tick on myself once a year for most of my 46 years.

Once a year? When my kids were young and we lived in the woods, we did a nightly tick check and rarely came up empty. When my fourth was about four, we were at Easter service in the biggest church in town (you know, glass chandelier, etc.) He chose an especially quiet time to stand up and proudly announce, "Mommie, I got a tick !" Of course he had to lift his trophy up to prove it. I know ticks can be dangerous, but I think getting them off relatively soon keeps you pretty safe.
 
3 ticks per week off of each of my kids for the past couple years.

Only had one of them come down with lyme so far

Trust me, you will know if your kid has lyme. Screaming in pain, not able to get up off the sofa, big ole bullseye rash EVERYWHERE. It's not something you can miss...

Yay antibiotics! It is completely curable with an appropriate course of antibiotics.
