A mother claims that her house was infested with hematophagous ticks after walking her dog.
Kimberley Whitehead, 37, discovered a tick dug in her leg last weekend after walking with her burrow named Justin.
In the days of discovery, her dog and her house were riddled with parasites that can cause Lyme disease.
Whitehead, who works as the director of Electricity North West in England, was forced to temporarily move her young daughter from her home as a precaution.
She now invites other walkers in the area to become aware of the potential risks and to be on the lookout for ticks.

"It was a pretty traumatic week for our family and our dog, Justin," Whitehead said. "After discovering a tick that sank in my leg at the weekend, we checked that the dog could not find anything."
"In a few days, the dog and the house riddled," she said. "We had to fight pests and today Justin has been removed from him under the sedation of veterinarians, which is pretty scary how much that has intensified."
Whitehead, photographed with her daughter, found a tick buried in her leg and is being treated for Lyme disease.

"We're both being treated for Lyme disease, a scary thought, but I'm warning other pet owners to check if their ticks contain ticks," said Mr. Whitehead. "Unusual hot weather seems to have put them in force."
"We normally walk around the Laund Forest and the abandoned railways in Baxenden, Accrington," she said. "Please be vigilant and be sure to brush your teeth and pet yourself before entering your home."

Whitehead said that she used the experience to train herself and warned others to use a treatment for fleas and ticks.
"This week has been an education but I would like to know more in advance, so please take the time to know the facts on how to remove them and what to do. we have to look, "she said. "More important, do not just use a treatment against fleas, but also ticks."
Whitehead and his dog are now receiving treatment for Lyme disease and are facing an anxious wait for three months to see if they have been infected.
