Damned Bloodsuckers!  |
| |
|  Yesterday I found a tick attached to me. I live in Dutchess County, NY - the Lyme Disease CAPITAL of the world. Today I have a nasty red welt where I was bitten, and I called the nurse at my doctor's office. If I start to feel horrible, they will want to see me. However, I have a nerve disorder that leaves me in chronic pain, gives me headaches and generally has me feeling horrible all the time, so how will I know if it isn't my "normal" horrible feeling or a tick borne illness? Of course now that I KNOW I've been bitten by a tick, I feel nauseous and horrible, but that is most likely all in my head. I am so creeped out! Now I feel like every little tingle or itch I feel will find some nasty parasite on me and I'm dizzy and just feeling gross. Stupid bloodsuckers, stupid Dutchess County!
Have you ever had Lyme disease, ehrlichia or any other tick borne illness? Have you ever found one of those little baastards sucking on you? Does it upset you that the simple act of taking the kids outside to play can result in a fatal or debilitating illness?

| |  I have never had lime disease but I have had a tick on me. I found it just before it started to bite. It creeped me out for days and bugs and spiders don't bother me. Just thinking about having one of those under you skin is creepy.
If you have lime disease, I believe you will get a fervor along with the nausea. Body aches, chills, it's supposed to be like the flu. That's why it's often treated improperly. Check online for they symptoms and I hope you don't have it.
Leaches are pretty creepy too, may be even worse, especially if you don't see them until they have sucked your blood so long that you can see the trail up your vane.

| | Well here I am 4 days later and I've been running a fever since yesterday and have a lovely cough. I gotta try to find someone to watch the kids so I can see a Dr. for antibiotics. | | | |

| |  ICK!! Blech!!! Ticks freak me out...Spencer had one on his head a couple of years ago and I completely freaked out and took him to the ER where they all discreetly made fun of me...lol...but I don't care because I hate ticks!!...
Other than an unreasonable hatred of ticks I don't stress it too much...but then I don't spend that much time outside because there are spiders out there...lol

| | Yeah Kitty, that's why the only gardening sndcain does is collecting Orchids. They are flowers on sticks with no leaves for spiders to hide in. | | | |

| | Do you remember when you were in VA and I was watching the kids and little John got a leech? Complete panic then too...I got salt EVERYWHERE...
And if you think spiders can't hide in an orchid, you haven't seen a cymbidium...plenty of foilage to hide in... | | | |

| | I thought it was in the creek in our back yard in Protection. Lol, I was thinking about the leaches there just the other day. The kids would be playing having a great time when all of a sudden someone would start screaming "SALT"! And I would grab the salt and run outside. I thought salt was supposed to get them off but I think salt is supposed to get ticks off not leaches. I think you can just pull leaches off, but, yuck, who wants to touch those things? | | | |

| | It was the creek on S. Protection but you were in Virginia visiting your brother and I was watching the kids....I don't know if salt works on leeches but that's what I was always told | | | |

| |  Yikes. I hope you will be alright. Im sure you will though. Ive never had one on me, just fleas, which are bad enough lol. I dont know if there are a lot of ticks around memphis or not, but even if there are that would involve going outside into wooded areas or weeds or tall grassy areas too, and well I dont do that lol.

| |  Yeah, ticks suck. My dad burned a tick off my back with a lit cigarette. It happened on the way to the beach. I don't remember a fun day at the beach, just my dad burning me with a cigarette.

| | awww, I'm sorry that you were traumatized like that! Of course nobody knew back then, but attempting to burn a tick off tops the list of what NOT to do for a tick attachment. | | | |
