If they are not embedded for 36 hrs. or more, the theory is it is safe to remove them and have no treatment.

I had one embedded for about 12 hrs.. I removed it, called my physician. He gave me his conservative advice, You know, the one lawyers can defend. I told him what I wanted to do, and he said OK. I watched for a follow-up rash for one week and everything was fine.

I have had more tick experience than most. I have found three so far this year. One today. It is the worst I've seen in a lot of years.

May I ask our creator why these things exist? I await the response...Bring it to me. Don't make me come to you.
