Ticks have to be on you for over 24 hours before they can transmit Lymes disease. Getting checked is a good idea, though. You can also just send in the tick itself for testing if you put it in a little baggie or something.

Make sure to grab them close to the head and remove the tick... its not hard..... either wash it down the sink or burn it.... i kinda think ur thinking of something else though, ticks arnt out yet unless u live somewhere warm.........

Ticks can carry lyme disease if you have any on you it would be a good idea to have your Dr test you because it's a nasty illness

Ticks? Are you sure youre not thinking of something else?  If it is a tick just carefully take it off your skin and make sure it has all of its legs. Use a lighter to burn it to make sure it pops (youll hear it pop meaning it died). Ticks are harmless unless you live in an area that has deer ticks (really tiny ticks) but I didnt think ticks or deer dicks are ouy yet because of the weather?
