Ticks?!?!?!?!


Question: Ticks!?!!?!!?!!?
Yesterday i went to a picnic/ camping area with all of my family friends and we had like a BBQ picnic like we do every year!. The grass was really high and there were a lot of bugs there!. We went on the beach, changed our clothes, went back to the picnic site, talked for like half an hour in the parking lot, and then went home!. I took a shower as soon as we came home since i went in the water on the beach and while i was drying myself off i saw a tiny black dot on my leg!. i thought it was a scab but once i got in closer it was really dark!. i tried pulling it off but it wouldn't come off!. i kept poking and pulling at it for about five minutes until it came off and it was a really tiny bug with 3 legs on each side!. then i just opened the faucet and washed it off my hand!. once i went to go eat dinner i told my mom what happened and she started freaking out and told me it was probably a tick!. i showed her my leg and theres nothing unusal about where the bug was!.

Answers:
Not always but usually you will show a bulls eye like bruise from a tick bite that has the lymes disease!. You probably don't have lymes!. Remember a month's worth of antibiotics is quite hard on your body too!. So treatment for lymes is not given to everyone who has a tick bite!. If you did not see a tiny black fleck stuck in your skin after removing the tick you probably got the head out!. And it sounds like the tick was fairly large and probably not a dear tick!. So chances are even smaller you could have lymes disease!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Since ticks carry Lyme disease it is best to see a doctor and go on a 30 day regimen of antibiotics as a preventive measure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ask your Mom to call the doctor and then take his advice!.
