I got bit last year in Kentucky middle of my back once I found it when I got home I couldn't just leave it alone and nobody was there to pull it so I ended up getting it out but wasn't sure about the head, was sore and irritated for a few days doctor put me on antibiotics and now a year later It still bugs me from time to time even itches and if I get to scratching it will open up they said it looked like it was scaring over but never gave me an answer on why it's like that so I never went back to the doctor.

Had one crawling up the arm rest on the couch soon after I sat down the other day. First one I can recall having on me since Mingo.

Had two on my jeans on Thursday. I can say for certain that off brand tick repellent doesn't work. They were crawling directly on it. I had pyrethrin but also had the off. Now I know.

I pull one off the dog about once a month. Luckily nothing on me so far. But she goes a lot more areas than I do on a daily basis.
