Okay, this is the most bizarre thing ever. Earlier today I went and pulled a bunch of weeds to get them out of the way so I could take a photo of something while the light was just right.
Later after watching a movie, I noticed a freaking tick burrowed in and sucking blood out of my left hand. I haven't encountered a tick since living in Montana, but with limited options, heated up a paper clip to the point of being red hot, burnt around the tick, however it refused to come out. Very painful.
Finally I got so pissed, I just gave it to the ticks ass (kinda hoping it would back out) -- it didn't -- I think I killed it.
So then what? I squeezed the location and my significant other did the ugly deed that I was told never to do, that being taking tweezers and yanking it out. It yanked out all right. Its head is probably still there and a bunch of blood oozed from the hole it left.
Not really looking forward to the possibility of Lyme disease during the next 30 days.
