It is the same here today. I had to get out the snow blower because I
had to get out to the walk in clinic to see about getting the head of a
tick out of my belly. The little bugger was feeding on Saturday night
and when I tried to get him off his head snapped off inside. I had tried
to get it out like you would a splinter, but I just made a mess of it.
As it turned out, the doctor didn't want to dig it out. He said to leave
it, keep it clean and keep an eye on it and it should come out in a few
days. Then he said this was the first tick bite he had seen this year
and added a comment about not expecting them when there is 6 inches of
snow on the ground.
