Im not used to ticks...dont have many here. Went for a walk in a "high risk lyme" area last weekend.

Had Tick starting to embed an hour or two later.

Wasn't embedded much, easy to pull off.

Pulled it off my leg, carried on. No rash, not itchy.

Now it's been a week, and i have a dime sized rash that is kind of itchy. Honestly, not sure what kind of Tick.

Something I should worry about? I'm just not familiar with them. Never been bit before.

this is what the Health Forum is for,but everyone goes here
worry - yes
should have saved the tick even with some scotch tape holding it down
Thank goodness for Canadian health care- have it looked at ASAP
Black legged ticks are as the name says -= trouble
if it was posted then it's a war zone

Question. Do you like to eat red meat ? Yes; then get it looked after

The rash is a sign of lymes. However, it’s the deer tick that spreads it. It is small in comparison to a regular wood tick. You’d likely be able to remember the vast difference in tick size especially if it had been hooked up for any amount of time.

I’ve had lymes as have the majority of my dogs. One of my dogs got it right out of my backyard. It can happen anywhere.

ticks carry a lot of diseases. none of them pleasant

Were you near the town of Powassan Ontario ?
double wammy
can you put it in your will that I get all your musky lures before you get loopy

I have had more than my share bit on, some to the point it pulls a chunk of meat out when you pull them. I always get a welt and it turn red, itches and seems to last a long time.
Here is a copy paste. While many people are concerned after being bitten by a tick, the risk of acquiring a tick-borne infection is quite low, even if the tick has been attached, fed, and is actually carrying an infectious agent. Ticks transmit infection only after they have attached and are taking a blood meal from their new host. A tick that has not attached (and therefore has not yet become engorged from its blood meal) has not passed any infection. Since the deer tick that transmits Lyme disease typically feeds for >36 hours before transmission of the spirochete, the risk of acquiring Lyme disease from an observed tick bite, for example, is only 1.2 to 1.4 percent, even in an area where the disease is common.

The musky lures are yours. Let this post me my living will and testament.

I was in grand bend

Go see your Dr and get some antibiotics, getting the antibiotics early is key to not getting it.

I mean, it was on me for less than an hour. I used tweezers, but it pulled off real easy, could have done with fingernails.

It wasn't engorged at all.

Based on what I've read, the risk is super low.

If it was a black leg tick, only 2 percent in high risk areas...this one wasn't attached long, hadn't started to feed...

The risk is super duper low...

But it's still possible and I have a slightly itchy small rash. I will call my doctor in the am.

My cousins wife had a itchy rash after getting bitten by a tick, went to Dr and tested positive for lymes.

Had a tick get on me about 15-20 years ago while running a hunt test. Didn’t find it until 2 days later. Itch and rash was bad. Ended up with a hole in my leg and a trip to the hospital. I was bad sick and out of work for two weeks. They did every test they knew to do at that time including a spinal tap. Never found a thing wrong. To this day I still don’t know what it was nor do they. Still have the scar and indention in my calf, but no side effects that I know of all these years later.

This makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Car accidents and ticks are my worst fear.......jk OH and Biden

Can you show some pictures ?
not of you , but the Beach ware with all your warm weather... from Grand Bend

don't believe the 2% rule, some areas have had up to 85% infections in the ticks, notably Long Point
Lone star ticks are showing up and just the walk across your skin can leave their nastys that they carry.

If you call your doctor or go to a pharmacy they will probably give you the meds. They have finally accepted we do have lyme carrying ticks in Ontario.

This is good news.

I will see if he can prescribe it by phone

Had undiagnosed Lyme's over 30 years ago.
Still not right.
Wife just pulled one out of my back 5 min ago.

Worse year ever, been finding 1-2 attached on me everyday, and using Permethrin, etc

Appear to.be first feeling larvae/ nymphs, so WAY smaller than adult deer tick

There is a lot of difference in having a tic on for an hour and 48 hours. 20 years ago I would see two or three ticks a year. Now I see that many or more every day. According to the ND Health Dept we are getting more ticks and verities that were never here. I just picked one off that was crawling on my chest. I have a zip lock bag with a cotton ball that is drenched in rubbing alcohol that I put them in. When I find one then I keep thinking I can feel them crawling on me.

Manitoba has it so a photo to them for ID is all it takes to get the system going for treatment.

finger test on the spot
warm"?
press down slightly= lift= does the blood flow back
usually tell of a local infection going on
google the proper way.

stimulating tactile senses
and it has nothing to do with S-E-X
