got another bloody tick on me. i hate them so much, the other one was so tiny id scratched it off before i realised what it was. this one is bigger...still small, about the size of this capitol O. i pulled it a few times and when i realised it wasnt just going to come off i startedto freak out. googled....now im convinced im going to get blood posioning cause i squeazed all its gunk into my leg.
WHAT DO I DO>>>>>YUCK
Gah, ya wuss!! Grab a pair of tweezers and pull the lil bugga out.
Make sure you grab it right near the skin so that you dont leave its head in.
I had one on my temple last week and one on my thigh this week. DS gets them all the time too.Hazards of spending so much time outside.
i was being a total wuss....even dd1 told me to just pull it out and make her breakfast!! dh pulled it out in the end. bugs and atuff dont normally bother me, i just hate ticks....they seem to like me!!
You have to twist the head anti clockwise or it won't all come out. I'd go to the dr tbh.
Yeah, they are evil lil suckers. The one I had on the left side of my temple partially paralysed my eyelid lol. Had a lazy eye for a couple of days. Noice....
You should be able to see if the head is still in there, although in my experience, even when it is in there, it just becomes a big gross puss-ey pimple that you can pop and get it all out. *barf*
