It's crap like that. The things are almost impervious to harm. Burn them or pound the hell out of them with a rock - other than that, there's almost nothing that kills them. |

If the tick attached, some irritation at the spot after you remove it is normal. With both dog ticks and deer ticks.
Don't rely on the bulls-eye. It doesn't occur in a good number of cases where Lyme disease has been transmitted.
There's no reason a doctor can't start you on antibiotics right now--don't wait. They can also have the tick sent to a lab for it to be analyzed.

Agreed. Due to the time it takes for Lyme to have outward signs of infection, the disease is already well on its way to possible nervous system damage.
Many doctors (mine included) immediately prescribe an antibiotic as a prophylactic after a tick bite. Just make sure you take every last pill as directed even if you don't show signs of sickness. Not finishing the bottle is asking for trouble. |
