Well, I did need a magnifying glass to ascertain that it was a tick and not just some random piece of cruft or a scab, but yes, it had legs. The horses get another thing from ticks, Erlichia, with is very similar to acute lyme in that they get a fever and feel really cranky, but Rx for that is only 10 days of Doxycycline and they do get better.

So far, I have not developed a rash or other symptoms, thankfully.
