Not related to ticks before but related to pesky mosquitoes...there was this one mosquito in the house that kept on biting everybody and we couldn't find the mosquito. Eventually we did--the mosquito was HUGE. It was so fat, it couldn't even fly--that's how much blood it got from us...yuck |
A tick will have just it's head embedded in your skin, the body and legs will be protruded, that is what you will see. If it was a tic and you "just"scrapped the hard shell of, you would have left the head of it still embedded in your skin which would have caused an infection. If you didn't have an infection in that area then I would have to say it was not a tick, however, I don't know of any other bug / insect that would latch on to you...I would rather have a fat mosquito buzzing around my head then have a tick embedded my in body sucking my blood, mosquito's are also very dangerous, you can get West Nile Disease from them. And while I have you on my thread, you and your Robo hamsters lol, I just had to see in person these wee lil hamsters, instead I saw the "skinny pigs" and fell in love with them, and I can't get any rodent pets, this beast that has become the love of my life would eat them before I could get them in a cage. Now every time I have to go to Pet Supplies I will be watching these fascinating Skinny Pigs errrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
