I pulled this tick off my daughters finger this evening. She said that there were about 10 more that she rubbed off onto the floor. I put a thumb tack next to it for comparison.
I can't believe how small this thing is. In my area there are very few ticks, and the ones we get are a lot bigger. I am hoping that these were just a fresh batch and did not get on any rodents with Lyme's disease. This literally looked like a speck of dirt. Needless to say, everything got a good vacuuming. Now I have that feeling that every itch is a tick crawling on me. I mean how could you find this on a pet?
