Re:itchy ulcer from tickbite

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone here ever broke out from a tick

bite. I was bit by another tick a few month ago, could not have been on for

too long, but made me itch like a really bad mosquito bite. Removed tick and

applied neosporin, also took oral antibiotics for a week or so in addition

to my regular herbal protocole. I did not get the bullseye, so maybe the tick

did not have Lyme, or maybe I have enough immunity. I never got rid of the

bite mark, it looks like a nasty infected pimple, almost like a boil and

still itches a lot after weeks, month actually. Anyone else had any strange

reactions to tick bites? My symptomas are still chronic (arthritis, neuro

symptoms.fatigue, tremors etc etc.)did not get better or worse lately.

I think I would have it checked out by a Doctor in case something got left in

there. I sure don't think it should last THAT long.

Since the bite mark is still there and you indicate it looks infected, can

you have a doc lance it and culture it to see what bug is there?

Hi, Dagmar.

I have had the same reaction (red, inflammed, and initially hot lump)

that you are describing from most of my tick bites (at least 12-15

times). They typically stayed extremely itchy for months. One on my

back, at my waist, and another on my belly stayed that way for years.

That back lump is gone now, but I still itch there occasionally. Only

once did I actually get a bullseye rash, and then it was rather

atypical. I am a tick-magnet! And seem to get sicker and sicker after

almost every one of them. My husband, on the other hand, gets bites

that hardly even leave a mark, and like me, he does have Lyme and

Babesia. So, it may just be the way your body reacts to the bites of

these beasts.........Good luck, Terri
