Close encounter of the tick kind....

I was outside yesterday picking up branches and doing yard work for a few hours. Came inside and found an adult female blacklegged deer tick on my stomach... It was engorged and already started feeding on my blood. I removed it with tweezers, kept the tick and will update further. Going to take preventive antibiotics and monitor the area on my stomach...
