Hizi ni dalili za kuumwa na tick unahitaji kujua, kulingana na wataalam
The telltale bulls-eye rash is one indicator—but it's not the only sign.
When you find a tick crawling through your hair or stuck to your skin, two thoughts probably pop into your mind mind immediately: How do I get this thing off of me? And: Should I be freaking out right now?
