I don't think I have Lymes. I do know that the bite area is still hard and red. I "popped" it yesterday and got a lot of clear fluid. (Gross I know) It was not taken out properly, rather it was yanked out 'cause I freaked. Is it just infected? Should I see a doctor? I don't feel sick, but it has been a month now... I hear that if the tick is pulled wrong, the mouth/legs can be left.... any help?

well one you should see your doctor about it but in the meantime you can go to your local walgreens and ask the pharmisist for a ointment that is called PRIDSAB it is a drawing agent and would actually draw the ticks head out or what ever is in there that is keeping it from healing this ointment works really well i have used it a number of times

I would, just to be safe. You may not have Lyme's, but it's better to make sure you don't have a skin infection or anything like that. Especially if it's been a month. Good luck!

go to the herb store get some black sauve put it on the bite, and then put a band aid leave it there, it will draw whatever out, do you know for sure it was a tic and not a spider,,? tics you can put oil on the tic , or you can burn a match and blow it out then touch it to the tic he will back out.
