Haha, that's funny, Corliss. I was trying to keep the length of the article down. 😁

Good question, though. It's recommended you take a photo of the tick so it can be identified and recorded. You can kill the tick by drowning it in rubbing alcohol or freezing it for several days. Advice on how to dispose of the tick varies so best to contact your local health authority for instructions.
