Guest guest Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Bennie and others who have grown up and lived in areas where ticks are commonplace, We had animals, and I spent most of my days in the " woods " with my dogs or riding my horse. Ticks weren't the scary things to me back then. Now I know better. I remember one tick had been in my scalp a couple of days, it was engorged with blood. I just pulled it off, but of course didn't even look to see if it's head was on it's body. I'm sure it wasn't because a week later it was a swollen red bump, obviously infected. Mom took me to the doctor but I can't remember what he gave me to take. Antibiotics probably. Ticks find the best hiding places on a body and we did tick checks before bedtime on our children every day during warm weather. I'm sure ticks are thick this year. I don't even know if anyone has tested me for Lyme's disease. Jennette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
