Two nights ago I was working on My car out in the closed garage.
I happened to get some oil on My forehead, I figured crap I bet it's also in my hair so I went ahead after I was done and hit the bathroom for a shower.
As soon as I took my shirt off I could see what looked to be a very tiny scab forming, however around the scab my skin was raised and also pinkish/red about 1/6"wide by 1" long. I went ahead and tried to pick the scab off just to make sure it was just that, a scab, but no it wasn't it fiped up some but stayed in place. I knew at that point it was a supertiny tick... damnit! I took the twezers and was about to pull the body off but could see I left a tiny bit still in Me. I then used a needle to try and get the head out but after bleeding some it was too hard to tell if I got it or not.
I took a very hot shower then cleaned the area. Preped it with some antibiotic ointment and called it a night.
Next morning I woke up and the area was still raised and red/pinkish. I went to work and after work stoped by my docs office "place I've been once in like 8 years". He said it was for sure a deer tick and it looked as if it did carry the lime disease. He said it's very common and that he gets patents in with deerticks all to often.
So now Im sucking down Amoxicillin twice a day for a week. He said I even though it looks like I have the lime dusease theres a chance its only raised like that due to how the tick bite, however, to play it save he wants me to take the meds.
I can't believe how tiny the tick was as with WHERE I got the tick I was not out in the woods I drove home from work and pulled straight into the garage then went into the house after that back out to work on my car and that was it!.
Ohwell my pink/red mark is starting to look better so I guess all is well =)~
Remember if you live in a wooded area check for ticks! I had no pain what so ever thankfully it was on my lower ab area VS my back or some hidden place
I would have never knew it was there if that was the case!
Welp it's time to eat some Yogurt so I wont get the S#%ts from taking this stuff. =)~
