Spent time in the woods this weekend, and then camped out overnight in the hay loft of the barn. That was great fun.

Found a tick (ick) on the upper arm of one of the members of Sunday morning. Removed it fairly easily. As far as I know, he's fine.

Found a tick on my inner thigh (double-ick) later in the day. Removal wasn't so successful, as it had gotten itself better established. At least part of the head is still in the skin. The site had a red ring around it last night, as if someone had drawn a circle using a fine-point red pen. Getting that looked at by the doctor some time tomorrow.

This morning, made the mistake of reaching across the top of the tea kettle for something (probably a spoon for stirring the oatmeal). I now have a second degree burn on my forearm.

*sigh*

YUP, A Doc visit is DEFINATLEY in order there. Bullseye rash after tick bite is clearly some form of infection, and could be Lyme. Not something to mess with and best treated quickly.

Best wishes for quick healing, M'dear.
