So yes, dog ticks can go on humans. They see us as a bonus buffet. But here’s the thing: that tick on your dog isn’t out to get you specifically. It’s just hungry.
You can outsmart it with a little vigilance and a good tick-check routine. And if you do find one crawling up your arm? Don’t scream.
Just grab a tissue, flick it into the toilet, and flush it with a little smirk. Then give your dog a hug—after you check them again. You’re welcome.
