Pulled a fucking deer tick off 2 days ago.
Now this. Size of a dime and growing.
It's not itchy. At least not all the time...
Lyme disease?
I don't have health insurance so not looking to drop a mirrion dollars on a bottle of Doxycycline if i don't have to.

When you pulled it off, did you verify the head came out?
Yep.
Google images. You will see more Lyme disease than you can handle.
Did,but they're talking like 1 week after a bite. This shit is instant. Wtf is it?
Yeah then you've got something. Not sure if lyme disease or not. If you do have to get Doxycycline, ask specifically for generic Doxycycline Monohydrate Capsules. It treats the same thing as Doxy Hyclate tablets, but they are much much cheaper.
That is common for a tick. Lyme disease can remain dormant for years. Best thing to do is see a doctor.
It's not lyme. Lyme will have a target lesion in addition to systemic symptoms. This is a tick bite granuloma in the making. Very common to have a rxn at the site. If concerned see your pcm for a prophylactic dose of doxycycline tomorrow, or just ignore it for a few days and let it mature to see if it becomes anything more.
I read that you can put tea tree oil on them somewhere
Pic of tick. Def deer tick, shit lighting. Head seems intact...
But srsly can that actually happen in under 48 hours? Every timeline for everything says like 10 days or whatever
Any idea how long the tick was on you? Transmission of lyme is unlikely if less than 48 hours.
Going by the size of it's badonkadonk I'd wager less than 2 days. There's a chart somewhere.
Go see a Doctor user, from the looks of it you have Lyme Disease, No b.s. make an appointment asap
Too big for a deer tick
...
I retract my previous statement,
You're fucked mate
It's an infection. You left some mouth parts of the tick in you because you were an impatient idiot and decided it was best to just pull to fucker out.
I have no idea how to fix that.
Wtf does Lyme disease even do?
i've been bitten by deer ticks and have had the 'early symptoms" (like the bite area looking like OP but worse)
And that was it... if i google the bites i get them like that all the time, but nothing else
See
Lays dormant, gives you the flu and then turns you into a drooling loonie
doctor dude, pay the money
:^(
well im an adult now and i been getting bites like that since i was little, immunity??
Get healthcare, idiot.
that's a fucking target rash if i ever saw one. you one hundred percent need a doctor and antibiotics. go to the E.R. under a fake name.
>no health insurance.
So happy I don't live in the US
supposed to use alcohol before pulling off with tweezers. That shit infected.
Suuuure I'll just go to the healthcare store and buy a healthcare!
Just because mummy still pays for yours, doesn't mean I can afford $500/mo for that shit.
save the tick and see how much it would cost to get it tested for lyme disease.
pulling it off is what retards do
the best way to get rid of ticks is to use a hot matchhead, or to heat up something metallic and touch the tic with it. it'll let go on its own every time
You don't go to a doctor for financial advice. You see a doctor improvement of life. I know it sucks not having health care, but it happens user
Anyone?? :^(
im not OP but id like to know :^(
Or apply heat while holding with tweezers so shit doesnt leap into your eye.
See the legs all burnt up? Yeah.
Sometimes it's asymptomatic.
>I don't have health insurance
Oh you Americans, I swear.
go die by muslim
>Lyme disease?
I wouldn't worry unless you are in the north-east
that is probably an infection from the tick's head pulling off while still in you
next time you get a tick, smother it with olive oil until it detaches on its own
New England.
Was up in Maine.
Use tweezers, always. No hot matchstick, no alcohol. Just tweezers
>Pulled a fucking deer tick off 2 days ago.
Are you fucking retarded dude? Your lymph nodes are probably swollen up. Being bitten by a deer tick can lead to cardiovascular disease. Go to the fucking doctor.
$150 for walkin, $4 for generic antibiotic
Go die by a curable disease. :^)
Those are co-pays, you filthy nigger.
Do any of you fucks even pay for your own health insurance?
If you have lyme disease you need to get it looked at asap man.. that shit is nothing to play with. It can kill you.
Exactly.
OP if you live in the Northeast US, definitely go to the doctor.
My ex got Lyme on our first date lmfao. It's no big deal, but hers wasnt brown/black like yours is.
Could be something worse. Ticks can carry most bloodbourne pathogens.
Yea I have obama care bronze, my deductible is $6800. You can go to the walk in clinic for ~$150.
You can get an antibiotic from the $4 list, ask for one from the $4 list.
>Do any of you fucks even pay for your own health insurance?
Coming from someone who doesn't, rofl. If you are still in school your university will have a clinic that's very cheap for students as well.
Your last option is going to the ER and giving a fake name/ fake SSN. They will put you in the system under that name and it will never get back to you. If you have a non-profit hospital in your area that's the best bet. Pretend to be homeless.
lol. This is actually what retards do and there's a lot of them. When you do this they regurgitate into you which increases risk of getting whatever disease it may be carrying.
>You can go to the walk in clinic for ~$150.
He needs to go to urgent care. Insects can carry parasites, you may be fine now, but some of the shit they carry will lead to early death. We're talking heart failure in your 40s.
You're an idiot... Don't know where you go, but an emergency room visit consult (full cost, no copay, no insurance) is ~$150. I do hospital billing... They will prescribe antibiotics, ask for a generic one, they are very cheap...
lmao I remembered your ass from two days ago. stop asking Sup Forums you retard, that's how you got into this mess.
go to the fucking doctor. or at least youtube
Definitely go to urgent care. You will pay 10% of what you would pay at the hospital ER.
Hes right. Youre supposed to literally dig the mouth out, but its too small fir you to do it yourself. You need ti see a doctor. Sorry bruh :/
Wishful thinking.
>but an emergency room visit consult (full cost, no copay, no insurance) is ~$150.
The problem is he spent all his money on chicken tendies, xbox games, and vape supplies.
I'm just gonna repeat myself, go to a non-profit hospital ER, pretend to be homeless, give them a fake name and fake SSN. Pay cash for the antibiotics and get them filled at the hospital if you can.
The bills will never come back to you.
This
Well congrats on future underlying health problems instead of going to a medical professional!
This is how you *should* have done it...
youtube.com
You probably pulled it out wrong and it released lime disease.
move to one of those "socialist hellholes" where porky doesn't cuck the country's citizens
glad you're here to "this" yourself and argue with the people giving you the appropriate advice. Go to the doctor and get antibiotics from the generic list or literally roll the dice on a debilitating disease that leads to early death. Those are your choices, stop asking us to make the decision for you.
Yeah, it's fucked up user. We are the only 1st world country without universal health care.
You the guy that squeezed the tick's entire instestines while pulling it off with a tweezer ?
>I don't have health insurance
Ah a Trump supporter I see.
At least took 1g of aspirine for 1 week could help + blue methylene on that shit.
1g(2*500mg) per day and only aspirine nothing else...

Just saying, the stuff that goes in fish tanks is the same exact thing that goes into pills from the doctor. Google it.

Entomologist here:
It's probably not Lyme simply due to it not being in a bull's eye or ring pattern. Also you got it pretty quickly and relatively early. Normally, you
have about another month before Lymes goes into full swing. The tick though does look like a dear tick (size ain't got nothing to do with it, its all about color and pattern). I'm guessing you probably either have an infection or one of the other less common diseases ticks in the united states vector. Either way, yes, you should see a doctor.
Options:
Doctor ^
Clinic ^
Urgent Care^
Or try the ER, but be ready to pay for that.
Either way, from my insect/arthropod standpoint I would say that yes, you need medical attention, and no, you did not leave the head in.
Oh you're fucked Laddie. Tick so have been going fucking Bonkers up here in Maine. Go see a doctor.
Doxycycline is cheap. Pay the $100 to see a doctor and get the script
if you are the op that posted himself pulling the tick off the other day, you did it wrong and squeezed all of whatever the tick had ingested into your body. you squeezed the tick wrong and this is the reaction your body is having to it. could be any bloodborn pathogen, i would go to the doctor, op.
Are you the guy that posted here a couple days ago lol
It looks infected. Pay the money and go to your local urgent care and get an RX for some antibiotics.
If you got a non-profit, or charity hospital, you don't need to fake shit. The whole point is that the visit itself is covered through their internal charity stuff. The only things you have to actually pay are for the drugs, cheap, and if you have to see a specialist.
Hell, i had surgery two years back, and only paid ~$700, most of it for the anesthesiologist, cause they aren't typically hospital employees.
go to the doctor you double nigger
Find somebody who went to Afghanistan, they'll have some.
Forgot I had this tab open. I originally posted about morons burning latched ticks. I did not "this" myself. If you we're wrong, google tick removal cdc. Dumbfuck
>Yea I have obama care bronze,
not a thing, summerfag. Enjoy your TrumpCare solution of just wrenching it out with the wrong tool, when you could've gone and used the healthcare you have, you fucking vector.
