A Tick Bite

I was on my way to do some errands when I noticed a red welt with a black spect in the middle on my inner elbow.

I plukced it out and rest it on the pulp of forefinger. This thing started to crawl, then I realized it was a tick.

I dropped it in a plastic container and laid over a saran wrap on it so as not to wander in the container.

I will bring this specimen to the University Hospital for id.

This tick might be the vector for Lyme Disease.
