RE: Tick, Tick, Tick.... BOOM!

in #homestead8 years ago

Oh no! How are you feeling now after taking the antibiotics?
Just an anxious feeling knowing he had one on his back and it had started to burrow in. I know it can take a few hours before their heads are buried in skin and then can cause issues, but after reading the article I am on 'red flag' alert here.

Sort:  

The antibiotics did the job. It was 1 big dose instead of several pills. After 2 days, I was feeling normal again.
My problem is that I didn't know how long the tick had been on me, probably all day. If you find them before they dig into your skin, it's not a problem. I usually always feel the regular ticks crawling on me, this one was so small that I never felt it.
