Stuff of NightmaresI looked them up Janet, OMG! I wish I hadn't. Gross! Gross! I hate spidery things and to think one of these 'things' was on IN my face for over a day.
Thank goodness Michael saw it and pinched it out. It was right under my left eye. I dread to think of how I would have reacted if that had crawled over my eye!!!! Nightmare. So far (fingers crossed) I don't have any of the disease symptoms (apart from headaches, I always have them) and its almost two weeks since Scotland.
Anyway, thanks for the "heads up", just thought I'd share its picture with you :) First time I've come across one of these things and I hope it will be my last.

Waaaaaagh!
*runs off to bathe in Dettol*
Eeeeuw! Hope you are okay! Not been about much recently, but I'm enjoying your piccies (apart from this one maybe)! ;-)
Himself said it was the big one on the left that got me Janet believe me if I had known I would have been in shock :p
Exactly TC
Thanks RO Think I'm okay :p Hope you are feeling better now.
Yikes! I can't even think about this!
Talk to you later. (Yes, I'm running away . . .)
I actually had a bad night last night just thinking about it W.J. Give me something I can stomp on any day!
I was ok until I saw its picture *shudder* once you've got the image in your mind, well... they muliply! Apparenly one of the side effects of their bite is mild brain damage. Good news is, Himself said in my case no one would notice. Haha Cheek!
Ticks? Big fat ticks? wwaaa the dog next door to us long ago used to have some so huge you could see them a mile off.
Then I'm so glad it was a Scottish one and not a Guyana one GG :-) I just had no idea they lived in woods and liked people!!! But then I seem to attract all blood-sucking insects. Mosquitoes love me! :(
aaack! more bug attacks!
beware!
Ahhhrghh...ticks...hate the little buggers. Never had one myself...but have know people who have...and Sandy...next time you need to remove one (hopefully there won't be a next time)...use a lite cigarette...thats right. Hold it to their rear end...and it will cause them to back out...pinching them out can be dangerous as sometimes their heads get left in yur body...can cause infections. Obviously this didn't happen to you cause you would have had an infection by this point....
Saw you comments over at Sassy-Sistah...liked your blog...I'll be back....Cookie...
hanks for dropping by Cookie and for the tip on ticks, I'll remember that although, (as you say I'm hoping there isn't going to be a next time) *shudder*. They were something completely new to us. Guess I was lucky regarding the infection.
And Cookie ~ Pirate jokes and Italian cooking too!I'm a fan! :p
