[Arturus]

Thanks for the info benmonnin - it puts me a little more at ease. The weird thing was to have symptoms so soon - I mean the tick wasn't even engorged yet so he hadn't been on me long. I'm pretty sure she got the head out too...I read that if any "mouth parts" get left behind, they'll get excreted by themselves.

And sandabbe - yes, I'm gonna check my cats and dog as soon as I can tear myself away from the computer/bathroom waltz I'm currently engaged in.

I can deal with nails driven through my palm, broken bones, surgery while awake and with little anesthesia - but blood sucking bugs really disturb me - them and maggots - some weird engrained phobia of mine.
