[matese]

Living in a wooded area I haven’t had many ticks on ME. I am sitting here asking about pee strings, all of a sudden my neck feels a little sore, I touch the area, feel a little bump, go to the bathroom, see a dark spot, get out my magnifying mirror and the dark bump has legs on it. OMG a little frigging tick. So I grab the twizzer and pull the little sucker out, it was right in the vain the little @$^%#^. That @$#$^ was really latched in my neck. I cleaned the area with alcohol then dab it with a prescription antibiotic cream. That was just 20 minutes ago, now it hurts like hell. Is this normal after removing a tick for that area and several inches below it to really hurt. The little @#%$# was about 1/8 of an inch over my collar bone. It was small, I don’t think it was a deer tick, I have read they are the size of a poppy seed, this @$$#@% was a small one, but big enough to be gotten with the tweezers and yes, I got his nasty $%$@% head out.
