Deer tick

Look at what I found last night. It had latched on to my arm. Picture is magnified to much larger than life. Including the legs, it was about the size of a sesame seed. Yes, it's a deer tick. There was a little redness around the bite area, so after cleaning with alcohol, I drew a circle with a ball point pen 1/8" from the edges of the redness so that I could tell if it changed size. Antibiotic & bandaid all night-this morning the redness is gone.
