If they are jumping I believe they are
fleas. Ticks crawl on the dog/host and
when they bite you can't feel it, and then
they suck blood...Not just bite. So i'm
pretty sure it's flea bites your getting.
As far as how to treat them I don't know
for sure.....Just here to let you know
those are flea bites.

Maybe some campho phenique--or calamine
lotion--it will stop the itching.
And flea bites do itch terribly.

If it is a tick make sure you keep it and
send it off to be tested for lyme disease
and co-infections. Is the rash like a
'bull's eye rash'? Keep a close eye on
the rash, I strongly recommend you see a
doctor immediatly if you are bitten. I
have been suffering with lyme disease for
4 years after being bitten by a tick.
