Save the tick? I didn't even want to look at it, I wrapped that little $#%^# is toilet tissue and flushed him down the loo, then flushed 3 more times, you know the say, "ya don't want it to bite ya in the butt"

I read a deer tick, that is the lyme disease carrier, needs to feed for 36 hours to infect you with the virus. It was not on me yesterday Monday) when I showered. So it wasn't on me for 24 hours, I think I am safe.
Thank you both for your concern.
