Lyme disease - useful information 7:55pm on 19 Mar 2009 Thank you for this very informative piece on ticks and Lyme's disease.
This was shown 24 hours after I found a tick attached to me !!!!
I became aware of the tick when I experienced the most awful pain at the site of the tick bite. I work in a hospital and a very kind Dr. managed to remove the little blighter completely using a needle. My GP discussed the symptoms of Lyme's disease with me and started me on a 10 day course of oxytetracline tablets. I have more pain today over the tick bite site than I did yesterday when he was attached which surprises me. The feature has scared me but better to be aware of potential symptoms than remain ignorant. I had never seen or heard of tick bites prior to this happening to me and more publicity is needed .
