Lovely, isn't it? This is one of the 4 known tick bites I have gotten over the years. Notice, the tick is still attached and NOT engorged, and infection is obvious. DO NOT believe the myth that a tick has to be on you for 24-48 hours in order to infect you. This tick bite was the second in the same year, about 3-4 years ago. It put me over the edge to becoming a failure to thrive person. I was dying slowly. Praise God for Dr. Jemsek, the only doctor out of many, who has a protocol to help all tick borne infections. If you are bit, get help right away. At least three weeks of doxycycline if you catch it right away. Don't stop until you find a doctor who will treat you. Trust me on this one. I had to do that myself.
