Heading out on a little African Jeep adventure

That doctors office story is too funny, yet a little unnerving. There is nothing quite like the " We don't know how to deal with that" scenario, yet everybody stares at you like your carrying the Ebola virus into the office. What did they think the mask was going to do? Scare off other ticks? I've yet to see a tick disease that becomes airborne. I guess they thought you had malaria or something else. Kudos to you for digging it out of your leg and it not getting infected. I probably would have broke the thing in half trying to get it out.

All in all, you had a awesome Jeep adventure and now you have a free campfire story to tell for the rest of your years. When your a grandpa you can tell your grandkids your were once "attacked" by a tick on an African adventure and have pictures to prove it.
 
Smashing it to bits and squeezing its guts into my leg we’re the thoughts I used to get through cutting it out. I was just thrilled to see it still crawling around when I wa done. Leaving its head in there was the other awful thought I had. When it was done I washed the &$&? out of the spot.

Fess up- You just wanted to use the new knife and were stoked that you got to operate on yourself! :D
 
No knife, used my very sharp and small manicure scissors. I did use the knife to slice the bastard into pieces after the fact.
