URGENT: Did a tick just bite me??

So, I’ve got this pretty noticeable red patch on my hand, just below my middle finger right over that big vein. I was out camping in the woods, though I didn't actually feel anything bite me. Last night, while I was crashing in the car, I kept waking up because my arm felt totally numb—probably just from being cramped up in such a tight space. My husband is convinced it’s a tick. Is it actually possible for one to bite you and then just disappear?

Could be

I mean, honestly... you could get taken out by a mosquito just as easily. It’s hard to believe how quickly a tick just drops off once it bites you.
There's no need to start panicking, though—they aren't actually venomous.

You actually kind of made my day there... Honestly, I’m hoping it was just a mosquito, because I definitely felt a little bite on my neck the other night. Fingers crossed it stays just a bugbite; I'll probably wait a few days to see if anything happens before I start worrying about some random illness. But hey, it looks like it's already shrinking a bit. I guess I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill—I really am a total worrier at heart.
