I found a tick near my mare's udder this past weekend - I didn't realize what it was until I had yanked it off. She has a small lump where it was embedded


The small lump is normal...usually lasts a couple of days.  I get the small bumps on me when I pull a tick out of myself as well.  Usually itches like crazy for a day or two, then the lump goes down and it heals up.  I'm always pulling ticks out of myself, so between the ticks and chiggers (and fire ants and mosquitos), I'm usually scratching *something.*  <G>
