Tick on me

[u/CartoonistNo3755]

Hello everyone. I found a tick on me I presume it latched onto me over 24 hours ago when I was hiking.

I felt it on my side and yanked it off before knowing what it is and pulled this guy off. It was still alive and moving when I pulled it off.

I don’t have rubbing alcohol and am freaaaaking out because the area he latched onto is a bit swollen. About the size of a small mosquito bite.

Any advice would be appreciated

It’s a plate lol that’s some leftover olive oil from some onions I sautéed. Before I found the tick and my day got ruined lol
