To answer your question, yes. I pulled one off of me, on my September Kentucky hunt last year, probably within a few hours of it becoming attached. It was on the underside of my wrist, it slightly itched and the bump was there for several months. It never got red or looked weird, so I just rolled with it.

Yup, I am in the same boat.
Every time I one latches on to me, whether I knock them off quick or notice them the next day, the bite spot gets worse and worse for a couple weeks. And the whole area surrounding changes colors.
I got tested for Lyme one time because it was so gnarly and I felt tired all the time. Came back neg luckily.
Dont know why they get me so bad.

When I was younger, they didn't last long at all. I haven't had one in a while, but the last ones have been irritating for close to two months I'd guess. Don't know whether it's due to me getting older, or if other "things" are going on with ticks these days. Knee high rubber boots, with tucked in pants legs, seem to help a lot in deterring bites.
