Being a seakayaker I'm much more worried about these guys biting me than ticks. There is a 10 foot one living in the creek behind my house , and a 14 foot one living in the next creek up the coast.
(and yes - he IS eating a shark!)

i've removed a few ticks from myself when i was growing up in texas
i usually just gouged them and the skin around them right out of my arm/leg whatever they latched onto
lyme disease isn't because of a "poison" it's because of an infection from bacteria they carry
the flesh surrounding the bite could potentially be infected with the bacteria,
remove that and you're fine,
most people don't have the balls to gouge a bit of flesh to save their life though

Nothing scary about these creatures, they are just tiny spiders... They are tranferring diseases, but the risk is small. Mosquitos also spread contagions
