Just found a tick on me??!


Question: Just found a tick on me!?!?
I found a tick on my shoulder and pulled it off without realizing what it was until it was on my finger!. I went into a panic attack!. I'm okay now, except that it is freaking me out still!. My mom took care of it and it is now down the toilet somewhere!. She washed my shoulder with rubbing alcohol but I am so freaked out!. I just need some reassurance that nothing is going to happen to me!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'm going to be 100% honest here - the good news is you aren't going to die or anything :) The bad news is ticks *might* (not that they do, but they might) carry lyme disease!. You might want to call the doctor and ask if you should proactively take an antibiotic or something!. See link below!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
