LOL - I get the collar idea! Did it just freak you out to find that tick on your? I once felt one on me and went nuts! I felt a tick crawling on my arm once and went nuts trying to stay calm enough to get the thing off myself and get it flushed down the toilet. That was only the beginning of my paranoia, however. There followed on hours of searching the house all over, vacuuming and washing everything that wasn't stuck down, including the dog. Poor little Jilly got washed, then gone over with a fine-tooth comb more than a few times the next few days and then I'd look myself all over again. I honestly think I might have worn a flea and tick collar and doused myself in tick powder three times a day given half a chance I was so paranoid. Ticks are the worst! The idea that the things suck your blood with their gruesome head under your skin just freaks me out! Finally, I figured since we had just come in from outside when I felt the tick crawling and only found that one, that's where it came from. And as we neither of us were hosts to another one, I finally settled down. But I think I was pretty close to wearing my own flea and tick collar.
