So I had this skin tag, big one too, and looked like it was FULL of blood! Blood on my shoulder around it, didn't want to bother it because they go away in 3-4 days anyway. Tugged on it now and then, one time I pulled and it hurt like a sunuvabitch!

So nearly a week goes by and it's still there. Just so happened tonight after dinner I tugged on it and it came off! Fell down my back and got hung up on a wrinkle in my shirt. I reached inside my shirt to retrieve it. Imagine my shock and surprise when I saw this skin tag had tiny moving legs.

Yep. Somewhere, somehow, last week, I picked up a tick.

Well the wife drove me to the emergency room and thankfully it was no big deal. I brought the tick along with me in a sandwich bag in case they'd want it for any reason. They didn't; looked at it, decided it was all gone, and gave me an antibiotic and a prescription for more. Fun time. And I still have this urge to yell "spoon", I don't know why . . . . .
