Anyone with experience on tick bites? (Maybe graphic pic)

Hard to tell anything from the picture. Did you get the head? There's likely to be some irritation and redness (inflammation) from ANY tick bite. It would definitely not hurt to go to the doctor as a precaution. However, if you choose to wait, if it gets ANY bigger, go immediately. Since today is Friday, if it were me, I'd probably go ahead and go to the doctor since an ER or urgent care trip over the weekend will likely be more $ and a longer wait...

Well waiting on the doc to return. She said due to the shape she doesn't think its Lyme. But she did say she's never seen a tick bite like that. Mentioned antibiotics.

I got one off me a few weeks ago that did that. It will go away in a couple days and I never got sick.

I have had tons this year, had a scary bout with my dog, when she got tick paralysis, almost killed her.

Looks like you didn't pull the head out when you pulled the tick, it's going to take about a week for your body to push it out on it's on.

And I would listen to Texastornado's advice, when it doubt, check it out. (at the doctor)

They gave me a prescription for antibiotics just incase

Take the full course of antibiotics. The last thing you need is an antibiotic resistant Lyme . Take my word for it.

Spray tempo sc I spray every spot of the house. And entire yard. It's 40-50$ for a bottle. Same stuff exterminators use but with out labor fee

I had a good friend die from Lyme disease. Go get it looked at. Better safe than sorry and dead.

[Uncle Saggy]

I get 30 or 40 tick bites a year.

Take the full course of antibiotics and keep an eye on it! Any question or doubt in your mind, go back to the doctor. If you don't like the answer find a different doctor! Lymes is something you don't want!! Trust me it sucks!!!!!!!!

I hunt in Sonora towards Juno. About 6 years ago, my buddy and I were clearing off some cedars before season and got home about 2 days later and discovered a small tick on my back. Didn't think too much of it since Ive had several growing up. About 3 days after that I started feeling like I had the flu with muscle aches, severe headaches, and my wife looked at my back and the place where the tick was had swollen and turned dark red. I went to my regular dr and they sent me to the CDC in Conroe. Head DR there said I just barely caught Lymes Disease before it got real bad and turned worse. I stayed on antibiotics for 30 days. After that I make sure I always douse in tick and chigger spray no matter what.

You've only had 6 all year? Other day I had about 20 on me from one walk. I tried that Sawyer's stuff but didn't work at all for me. I use another permethrin spray that I think is called Duranon and it'll last about 6 washes and I have not had a single tick on me since I've been using it.

This is some good stuff ! But don't put it on your skin . And let your clothes dry thoroughly before putting them on . Ticks hate permethrin! So do mosquitoes. And it doesn't have hardly any smell after drying .

I buy it in a condensed form from TSC. And dilute it to my needs. I use it on my pop-ups also to keep the black widows out when mixed right.
