Had a tick surgically removed from my armpit last Monday morning. It had been there for some time without me noticing it until it grew big. It was my first and a really obese one, huge (4 - 5 mm).
Now I'll have to take a strong antibiotic for 4 weeks. Hopefully that'll be it then.

PS
ticks are all along the coast so check regularly and remove with tweezers, taking care to get it all out - sometimes the little critter's head stays behind
