    Tick update bulletin

    So, my gf met her Doc this morning. She have to take antibiotics for 21 days. The Doc didn't manage to take out the ''dart'' that it still stuck in her skin... Now she's at another hospital for blood test and to gives the tick that we kept in a Ziploc, they'll analyse it. She have to return to the Doc Monday and he will slit her skin to take out the piece that it still stuck in there.

    So fun! All this for a super tiny insect!
