I think I have a tick bite but I'm not sure.?!


Question:

I think I have a tick bite but I'm not sure.?

On my leg there was a red bite, not a mosquito bite and there was no black dot or anything but there was something but it was red. I took the top off with my fingers. Is this ok?

A while ago, I had a different kind of bite, it was not red but a large bump with a dot at the end, is this a tick bite? Should I go to the doctor to be tested?

Answers:

yep better go. Lyme disease is not what you wanna write home to Momma about. I had a tick embedded in my thigh about three weeks ago, and had just gotten up & was about to take a shower when I spotted the bugger, so I just yanked him out. Then I got to thinking,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,... what if the head is still embedded ? So that evening after I got home I painted the spot with fingernail polish, to smother the little bast***, Now I stay tired & fatigued, had a blood test this am & gotta see the Dr. in about another hour............ hopefully it wont be bad news.
