Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

send for a doctor

If I were a tick I would definately go for the nips.

it just wanted to be fed...

How did it even get there? More importantly how did you not notice till now?? It's gonna be a pain to get out. Good luck op

I certainly hope you promptly removed it. We don't want him going around bragging to his tick friends about how he got both second base AND a free dinner on the first date. The other bugs might think you're easy.

I think I'd throw up if that happened to me.

take a shower nasty

You don't have to be dirty for a tick to be on you, even the cleanest people get them.

Wouldn't that have hurt? I know ticks release venom but with such a sensitive area you'd probably feel surface pain. I once found a tick half embedded in my side, and there was a lot of soreness. I found it during school too :I

Nah. The "venom" you're referring to is a mixture of a substance that prevents coagulation, and a substance that eases the pain.

How big is your nipple!?!

Ticks are small, they only swell significantly while sucking your blood. Unless OP didn't have a shower for days, it seems unlikely that the tick would've been there for a long enough time to drink so much blood.

Ewww! How could you not notice?! That had to hurt!

They have venom that they inject into you that numbs the spot they are feeding on. There would have been no indicator for the OP to feel what was happening to her/him until s/he saw it.
