So I was in the woods and after I came home and took a shower, after I told my mom to checks for tics in my hair, and she said there were none, and I got home 15 min after the woods, I took another shower, expected to be no tics zI founds one crawling on my arm, now if im correct its those deer ticks, could it have been attached to my head and then fell off when i washed it and was looking for a place on my body? Would I Have lyme disease? This is 3 hrs later btw/

Put vaseline on the site, and cover it with a bandaid or tape.... in a couple hrs you can remove the dead tic
If you start getting a fever in the next 24-48 hrs you should seek medical advice
You should be just fine. I once actually pulled a LIVING tick off of my head (he was attached) and I had no clue it was there. It scared me, but I am glad it was out.
If you start feeling weird, go to the doctor and don't worry about it.
