That is what the CDC site and Snopes says. Does the pissed off tick go in so far that you can't see his legs anymore?
The thing that was on Uni's elbow a while back, now I'm wondering if it was a tick. It was under her skin for months, and I thought it was a blackhead, kept putting coconut oil on it. Maybe I pissed off the tick? When we went to the vet it came out like a little balloon. How long can a tick stay in there for and not get big?
