I'm glad you're okay.
About 15 years ago, I visited a farm and came home to find two ticks on me. One was on my neck and the other at the base of my spine.
Like you, I removed them with tweezers by the head.
I remember the spots where they were itching like crazy for a month. However, the reason the whole incident is so memorable to me is because I still have a hole in the skin where the tick was found at the base of my spine.
Don't be alarmed if you scar, slightly, like an acne scar.
I'm glad you went to the pharmacist. Beyond ID'ing the tick, I'm not sure what else can be done. Just keep an eye on the bite to make sure it heals ok. |
