Tick on leg update | Ramblin' & Amblin' | Nov 5, 2026

Lighter topic is the other day I was out here for a walk and I came home and I had a tick in my leg and so far it doesn't seem to be Lyme disease yet but it takes a few days for it to manifest it's it's a little round red bump and I 've just been monitoring it for any signs but so far it's just just annoyed. Today I've I've uh learned my lesson that my pants are tight rolled and the socks are pulled up over you can still get a tick through that but uh you know prophylaxis um and also I'm not going to be walking out you know you know thanks officer Maylee you let me know to stay on the trail and I got the lesson there I got a tick. Man that was weird looking at my leg and seeing that tick there just its little legs moving it was very unsettling and then I uh you know got the tweezers out and the alcohol and I knocked it out and uh I think you know I mentioned this actually in another video yesterday but um it's just such a surreal experience to actually see it and uh you know I got to do the whole body check that's awkward in front of a mirror but uh it seemed to be the only one that just you know is right here and uh just jumped up on my calf um but so far I haven't gotten any flu symptoms that I can speak of but the funny thing is is timing is everything my daughter uh my youngest daughter is is came home from uh trick-or-treating and she's been sick so now I got wonder if I start to get sick is it Lyme disease or is it just my kid got sick because she was all trick-or-treating on a on a chilly night with a friend the causes of things and and the contamination of events um just makes it uh makes it uh harder to associate the origin the root cause of of a problem and trying not to become paranoid then because my throat feels a little itchy that that is uh it I've also been talking more than I normally do and uh walking out in the rain maybe I got just regular old sick but because I got bit on the leg I gotta be extra paranoid not paranoid but I gotta just be more vigilant and not become paranoid anyway yeah just an update on the tick that was on my leg seems to be okay and uh trying to not uh panic that feeling a little tired or uh sore throat is a sure sign of disaster so all right anyway thanks bye
