Default Albino baby tick

I've been living here in the woods for about 50 years. Two days ago I
felt I had a tick bite and asked my wife to take a look. She said it
looked like the beginning of a boil. Not what I wanted to hear. Anyway
today I scratched off what looked like a perfect pustule and felt
relived. However the shape was too perfect and under my lupe 8X I
noticed the ******* was waving at me.
Never saw a white tick before this what we call a deer tick due to
size. I called up our county health department and was told to give
Animal Control a call. Have to wait to Friday hours. I got him between
two pieces of clear scotch tape at the moment.

First call to the health department ever. I think it is weird.

Anyone see a white tick before?

Bill
