Well, I had my first ever tick bite, which is weird considering I grew up playing in the woods. They gave me a single does of doxycycline, but after reading up on the single-does effectiveness, I'll just wait and see.
Is the tick still in there?

No, they pulled it out. I can't tell what kind it is because it's so small.

Nasty little things. Usually I'm all for the general eco-system but what purpose do ticks have?

I'm sure they provide food for cooler animals up the food chain.

Well that was a thoroughly revolting read but it did take me down a parasitic rabbit hole where I found a tick that makes people allergic to meat and dairy ( https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-con ... c-20428608 ) so I guess I found one positive to them :)

How has PETA not promoted intentional tick bites?

But what if they come up with a dumb idea to try to shame you? PETA wisely invested in a dumb idea machine and they can aim it your way, you know.
