This is a deer tick. I pulled this off my dog this morning. These things are nasty here in PA and always should do a check after being in the woods, especially in spring and fall.

Worth knowing. You can also use clear tape and trap them for later testing if you don’t feel well.

My son had one which we sent for testing. Came back positive. We got him a round of doxycycline and he never had any issues.

It depends on your medical system and your docs. So my experience was slightly different
