Tick after bite spot Tick ugh hate them even more then I though possible, never had this happened before like this I mean she has had ticks on her and I have pulled them off like a good mommy and there has been maybe a little red mark but thats it. I found a pretty big tick on Callie's cheek yesterday and even after holding an alcohol swab on it (I have been told that causes them to pull there head out) for like 5 minutes and then went to pull it off and it was extremely hard to pull off. Later I was checking it to see how it was doing and there is like a spot as big as the tip of my pinky that has like a dried blood scab on it. Its not hot feeling or even red and infected looking so I just keep checking it every couple of hours. We are supposed to go to West Virginia on friday and Callie is going with me so I will still be able to watch it but I'm scared to death its going to decided to get infected while on the trip. Is there anything I can/should put on it? These ticks are really becoming a problem.
