Its nothing serious... Only 0.1% of them carry a disease... Its only a stupid bug, whats so wrong? It gets on your body when you walk in tall grass, they just suck your blood... But when taking them away, if their head stays in your body, you cant get it out. So watch out when taking it out... My dog once had 9 Ticks... Nothing happened, i just took them out, and my dog is alive , nothing at all happened
