I m a novice when it comes to ticks, at best, a tick rookie. I ve been bitten once, it was a long time ago in the 70 s, I was 8, and I remember seeing it on the tweezers after my mom had removed it from the back of my head. It was so gross, it was full of my blood. Fast forward 40-some-odd years later, and my second encounter with a tick just happened. I found one recently on my Chihuahua RayRay, and I freaked out.

Seriously, 43 years between tick encounters is pretty good, right? Well, stupid me, I took my little guy out for a walk, unprotected, against the blood suckers, and my lack of prep has now exposed him, and myself, to a dreaded Connecticut Original tick-borne illness, Lyme Disease. First discovered in Lyme, Connecticut in 1985, according to the CDC, over 20,000 new Lyme disease cases are diagnosed in the US each year. It was all I thought about as I discovered that dreaded small lump behind my Chihuahua s left ear.
