So today I felt what I thought was a skin tag on the underside of my arm. I realised it couldn't be as it felt quite big. Suddenly it started really throbbing so I went and looked in the mirror. A fucking tick. And not a small one either. Cue panic. Stupidly, I yanked the thing out, leaving behind the head and jaws. Nobody could get it out. Had to go to minor injuries, get some anaesthetic on it and get it scalpelled out.
Very horrible. Needless to say, my bedding and clothes are all going on boil washes tonight.
