So hubby came home with 2 ticks on his back yesterday. I'm not sure I'm identifying them correctly but I think one is an American Dog Tick and the other a brown dog tick (but it's more red in coloration). I've saved both of them in a plastic bag, super creeper out to keep them in the house, buhhhhh)
I removed them with this little thing we have, it worked great, pulled out the skin they were attched too....kept their parts all in tact, so I know there are no parts left behind, except for maybe their lovely little unseen companions like Lyme.....
We live in Massachusetts, does anyone know if we can get the little b*stars tested for any and all infections so we at least know that if something happens, we know what we are up against???
