[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2552328, member: 116439"] Bill sorry to hear that. Yes years ago the medical profession had not a clue about Lyme Disease or related to Ticks. . Named after Lyme, CT. Like I said had a friend the suffered for about 10 years before diagnosed with Lyme Disease. He ended up in the hospital and spent months on antibiotics. Fast forward to today and Tick Diseases are widely know and treatments available. I have had Ticks on me for many years of being in the woods and having animals all my life. Never worried or knew about Tick Diseases. MY advice to anyone that has a Tick imbedded into your skin try to have the Tick "Back out" on it's own. Don't try to squeez it and pull off. You will only have the Tick's inside fluids forced into you skin (with diseases) and if the head breaks off inside you can get an infection. Seek medical attention and get an antibiotic. These new antibiotics get rid of many Tick Diseases within a few days. I now spray myself down with DEET every time I go into the woods, which is almost all our property. We also have "FIRE ANTS" here. Every time I get attached by a Fire Ant, I have a burning and then itching. The spot then turns into a blister and can last for a week or more. [/QUOTE]
