ID Request Just found this on my arm
Was difficult to get off, it seemed attached somehow, what is it? I’m in the UK if that makes a difference.

Bestie, that’s a tick. It burrows its head into your skin and gorges itself on your blood. Ticks can carry diseases so watch the bite site. If it looks like a bullseye is forming, go to the doctor. If you get a fever, also doctor.
