I FOUND A TICK ON MY DOG

pic related is the tick I found on my dog. It was just on my dog's ear and I am pretty sure that tick came from earlier today (I went to a weird field near my school with her). I am planning on giving her a bath right now, and I will be taking a shower afterwards but should I do anything else I have never dealt with ticks before and I am honestly worried for me and my dog

Don't worry it's a dog tick, it doesn't carry lime disease.
But they do commonly carry Rocky Mountain Fever, which is a more fetal disease. pic related its' symptoms are:

Fever
Headache
Rash
Nausea
Vomiting
Stomach pain
Muscle pain
Lack of appetite
Cell Decay
Blood Clotting
Heart Disease
Death
If it gets bad enough amputations of limbs may be necessary, as they will quite literally begin to decompose as the disease blocks blood flow.

Forgot to mention: unlike Lime Disease where ticks need to be attached for 24 hours for infection RMSF only needs 5 hours or so.

Your dog is a dead dog. Sorry to have to tell you this. You might as well just end her suffering with a .22 to the brain stem. Go buy a cat to replace your good girl.

Holy shit, can me and my dog possibly get that??? I am drying all of my clothes that I wore today and I checked my body and I didn't see any ticks could they be anywhere else in my home? Should I make a doctor's appointment?

Also while I was checking my dog I found a second tick, there was no more after that one but there seems to be a weird white thing sticking out of its mouth what is that? I am sorry that I come across as ignorant, but I am willing to take any info I can on this. Pic related, the new tick seems to be a female dog tick

Yes people get it all the time only being worried about Lime Disease. Check yourself and your dog, even if you never found a tick on you, sometimes they de-latch themselves after they are done feeding, look for red areas. There is no cure rn for the disease, only thing they can do for you is tie you down to a hospital bed and hope you make it in one piece. I would wash all my sheeting, search my mattress, and any couches you have, many times ticks hide on your clothing and you can bring them into your house.

Red spots may take a day or two to form, so be watchful.

The white bit is flesh, this means it was full attached to your dog, and had been feeding for some time. Having multiple ticks is a super bad sign though, that means you were in a high density tick area.

I disenfected the area, and I believe it was only on for roughly 5 hours, what sort of measures should I take right now?

Get some 10% permethrin and apply some on the back the same way the Advantix or Frontline stuff are done.

If you have a full head of hair it is almost impossible to find ticks with your hand, nor will normal soap get rid of them. I would recommend shaving your head to be sure that there are none up there,
I once knew a guy who had a tick stuck to their head for a few weeks or so, he never even knew until the thing was MASSIVE.

don't know american ticks but my dog has them all the time unfortunately. just make sure that you have the whole tick pulled out and not let its head in your dogs skin. wash hands and observe the spot on your dog. i for my part always keep the ticks for about 2 to 3 weeks with date and location where it bit.

Just kill whatever ticks you find, bath her with permetrine or some shit. If they keep coming you'll have to give her some ivermectine injections and make sure your entire house is disinfested in every nook and cranny.

best advice ITT
Even going with a .22, that's a good size for a dog skull. It will put her out of her misery early. However, if you are underage a pellet gun is good enough. Just make sure you point it at the eye in the right angle so it can go straight to the brain. Should be a simple one shot mercy kill.

I grew up in the tropics.
Dog constantly got ticks.
Just pull them off every day or 2 and it’ll be fine.
