A few minutes ago, I went to the bathroom and saw a tick on my leg. I managed to get it off with a tick twister and got a good look at it before I disposed of it. I checked out the internet and found out it was a lone star tick! I also found out about the diseases they caused, including an allergy to red meat! I did wash the bite and put hydrogen peroxide on it. Plus, the tick hasn't been on long enough to have fed though it was pretty attached. The bite itself is just a small, slightly bleeding hole.

I have told my Dad about it and he reassured me that I'll be alright. I feel a little better, but I want to hear from you guys on what you think.
