cool info... I have pulled many engorged ticks off of myself and never really thought twice about it. I have never been sick from it, but my cousin, who is a strong dude was laid up for quite a while when he had lyme disease so it is not something to screw around with but certainly nothing to get too worried about. I just assumed the bugs were all ticks my deer was loaded with them and most of my friends also it seems more likely they were keds .
