Like people have said its a bit late now, but if you come across it again use your tick remover, they a bit like tweezers, get a good hold on the tick then turn the tweezers anti clockwise for about half a turn, then pull gently, this should remove the tick aswell as the mouth parts, then stamp all over the little muther, dirty horrible things they are, not alot bothers me but I decking hate ticks, ATB rabbitcatcher
