EEW TOTALLY FREAKED OUT!!!!
So I am laying in bed next to DH, lights out TV on. Out of the corner of my eye I see this dark shadow on his back. I turn my light on and there is this huge TICK sticking out of his back. What a fiasco, first trying to wake him up, then I get him into the bathroom and I pull the body out with tweezers. But the head was STUCK, I mean it had a grip. Sooo I ran all the way down the block to my car, which was pretty far thanks to the flooding and I run to 7-11 to get vaseline. Come back, have to wake him up again, back into the bathroom and I worked on that thing for a good 20 minutes, getting most of it out. Poor DH, I was poking him with burning needles, tweezers, but thankfully it is out. I wiped it with rubbing alcohol. Now it is really red and we'll watch for infection and he is in some pain from the digging. But I am sooo skeeved. I don't even want to sleep in the same bed as him. YUCK!!!!

 Glad you saw it! They are so nasty! When my brother was little he had to have one surgically removed, my mom just couldnt get it out.
Hope you dh will be ok. Im sure he will!

I applaud you...i couldn't have done that. I probably would have passed out.
Is your cat and outdoor cat? Maybe you should check it to make sure there aren't any ?

I actually have to check my DH so he doesn't spread it on to th cats. He is the one that was in the woods.
So I didn't do as good as I thought. There is still a piece in there this morning, I am assuming the head, but that stinker has such a grasp on his skin it just won't give. He may have to go to the doctor after work, although he is supper stubborn and probably won't. I guess I'll just have to dig myself some more when he gets home to try and get this darn thing out. I just feel like I am torturing him.
