Do you need anti-biotics everytime you have a tick bite?!
Question: No.
When you remove the tick, save it in a jar incase problems arise so it can be tested later. Wash the area good and apply an antiseptic.
Call the doctor if:
-you are unable to remove the entire tick
-a tick has been attached for more than 24 hours
-you develop a red rash after a known tick bite, or if one develops over several days and you were exposed to ticks but don't think you were bitten.
-you develop flu like symptoms such as fatigue, headache, stiff neck, fever, chills or body aches
