I went to the Appalachian mountains. I left 2 days ago. Just now, I found a tic in a crevice of my ear. It was alive, but wasn’t full of blood. It was still thin. I also don’t feel any bite marks.

I don’t know much about tics or Lyme’s disease. Is there anything I should do or watch out for?

    How big was it? Normal ticks don’t carry Lyme’s disease and are about the size of a pencil eraser. Deer ticks do carry Lyme disease and are much smaller, they are more like the tip of a pencil.
