Hi guys. I was at a lake yesterday and just now I felt an itch on my leg. Then I noticed there was a tick on the itchy spot. I think it had attached itself yesterday. I removed it with tweezers and don't think the tick is in there. Should I be worried, or what should I do now?

Loading...Hello everyone 👋🏼 I have these little creatures in my apple tree. At first, I thought, "Why are there so many spiders in there?" Upon closer inspection, I noticed the little worms. Can someone please explain to me what I'm dealing with here? Are these harmful to my apple tree or even toxic to dogs,…
Hi guys, I recently went swimming in the Solenzara river on holiday in Corsica. I noticed that after swimming in the pools there were small worm-like creatures on my skin and swimming trunks, and they were still moving. I then showered off and removed them because I was worried that they were some kind of…
Hello everyone, For the past few weeks, I've had recurring red spots on my body (see photos: picture 1 on my neck, picture 2 on the side of my stomach). These actually only appear on my upper body: on my neck, back, and stomach. I haven't found anything on my legs or feet yet. It…
I have two pretty big problems with my aquarium… Two of my corydoras are behaving very strangely. They both have very red gills, dark-rimmed eyes, and only move when disturbed in any way. They lie on their backs the whole time and don't move. So far, none of them have died, but what could be…
Hey, a friend of mine had a job and then had shoulder problems that prevented him from working. Since then, he was on sick leave and then he was fired. How much money does he get now? He doesn't want to tell me, but I'm very interested.
This one was on my sofa, which is directly under the skylight. Did it come from outside, and is it a wood cockroach or a pest?
Because the tick has already sucked blood, your risk of infection is increased. I would have sent the tick to a laboratory to investigate Borrelia, currently free of charge at http://www.dr-schick.de . Watch and document everything for at least 6 weeks. Pay particular attention to the symptoms of borreliosis and honesty.
There are two dangers in tick bites, one is the transfer of cerebral inflammation that exists in certain regions. But one could be inoculated, and the other is borreliosis….but that can be treated and the Tückische is only….
That it can only occur much later, where the diagnosis often takes long because it could be anything.
So it is good if you keep this in mind so that you can tell the doctor about the symptoms…. that you had a tick bite before one or two years ago.
It’s not that bad with your head. Only so laborious until the body has worked it out again.
Passed me this year and needed about three, four weeks.
You can laugh, I’m in a wheelchair, by a very complicated break, and suddenly something in my thigh. Yeah, just as you felt.
And I thought what is that, plucked unthinkable about the fibrom that bothered me… and saw that uff, that’s a tick that probably lays a cat on my wheelchair… on which they liked to lay when I slept.
I looked and the head was still inside. I had to laugh for almost a little, I worked for decades in the bush, and I never took a tick and then graduated as a forced mare stool, and one of them took me.
Well, well, everything ends well…the head grew out….was a bit stupid but not bad.. Wheelchair replaced by sticks.
From that, don’t worry…but a doctor can only help you when you make symptoms… which will hardly be the case…
Larger residual parts do not remain back when they are turned out, because of the barbs only when they are pulled out, therefore: always, e.g., close to the skin with a tick plier and slowly turn out (about 2 turns). Because Borrelia could be contained in the mouth tools, the remaining parts must be removed.
Yeah, I know. Only I didn’t expect it to be a tick. That in the house in a wheelchair.
Hey. Actually, you should not taste the tick away, but keep, and go to the doctor for security reasons, because tick bites do not have to end bad, but often end bad.
Therefore better to the doctor as soon as you can 👍
In order to be able to better track the possible formation of a red infection ring (so-called hiking reds; technical-language Erythema migrans: an earlier indication of a starting borreliosis) in the skin, it is recommended to observe the puncture site regularly. A photo of the puncture can also be helpful. If, after a few days to weeks, a distinct ring-shaped skin redness, typically pale in the centre than on the edge, is to be formed and expanded, a doctor should be consulted for further clarification. In some cases, only an unspecific skin redness appears, which migrates.
If, in the 7 to 14 days after a tick bite and a stay in an FSME risk area, flu-like symptoms such as fever, depletion, discomfort, headache or limb pain should be developed, a doctor should be consulted if necessary. A general antibiotic therapy after ticking is not recommended; it is only indicated in a well-founded Borreliosis-skinned-up (hidder and/or neurological symptoms or massive joint swelling).
Investigation of ticks for infectious agents such as Borrelia or FSME viruses is not considered useful. A positive detection of borrelia or FSME viruses in the tick does not permit conclusions that an infection of the data subject has also occurred, so that no further treatment recommendations can be derived from this finding. Moreover, due to the different detection sensitivities of the respective methods used, it cannot be ruled out in the case of a negative examination result that an infection with borrelia or FSME viruses has nevertheless occurred. Furthermore, a transmission could be effected by further, unnoticed tick bites.
No targeted medical therapy is available for the FSME, so that the detection of FSME viruses in a tick would not entail any prophylactic measures.
A negative proof acts on me extremely soothing, with a positive proof is given increased attention, I send every tick.
Where are you going?
laboratory address http://www.dr-schick.de “currently free, I’ve done it several times. However, it is only free if you have removed the tick with the products from the company. I got the first. Once requested a photo of the tick pliers with the removed tick.
Immediately disinfecting is a good idea.
