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?
This is what I would do as well OP. Lyme ducks people up, so just like with rabies it’s worth testing. Barring that, monitor behind that ear closely for inflammation and irritation
