Been playing a lot of golf lately, and this morning while showering I felt this thing sticking out of my right upper thigh. It was blood red and I pulled it off, I think it was a disgusting tick
I should have kept it in case a doc wants to test it, but I let it wash down the drain, got tweezers and pulled out what was left. I have a couple of red areas where it was attached and, come to think of it, I've had a really sore spot just above that under the skin, like maybe a swollen lymph node?
Never had a tick before, do I have to do anything else? What are the chances of lyme, or some creeping crud infection?
