So I'm feeling pretty freaked out right now. I noticed a spot on my side, I figured it was a mole but then I knew I never had one there before. Thinking maybe it was a scab, I tried to pull it off but nothing happened. So I asked my mom to look at it and she said there were legs, so I knew it was a tick. I pulled hard until it came off. Then my mom put rubbing alcohol on the spot, which really stung but it needs to be disinfected. The thing is, I haven't been outside since Sunday, and I don't know how long it had been there. I read it can be on your body for days or weeks and you might not know about it. So that's a possibility, but I'm surprised I hadn't noticed it before now if that's the case. Anyway, I hope I don't get sick from this and all will be ok.
