Hi. I’m a little concern. I was in bed and all of a sudden I just took my hand and started to massage my scalp on the front and I felt something. To my surprise it was a small brownish tick. I did not need tweezers because the tick came right off. Should I be concern about the tick biting me? I do not see any red target like spot on my scalp. Thank you.

Can I eat one of my dog’s anti tick pills before going into the bush?
