Tick bite
Calling all doctors...lol
So on my travels to WA last month when we went camping I must've picked up a tick in my clothes. I wore a jumper from there when I got home and that night I found a tick on my back when I was showering.
Well i didn't know it was a tick at the time I just scratched it to find a tick in my hand.
Long story short, it's been itchy for the last month and I went to the docs today and he had a look and said he can't see anything inside the wound, all good, etc.
LeAh posted it on some face ache page and everyone's saying the heads missing it's stuck inside your body, you're gonna get Lyme disease and all these experts have jumped on saying they got Lyme disease after the docs in Australia said it was fine, etc and how Australian docs are useless, etc.
We don't get many ticks over here and whilst I'm not freaked out I am concerned it hasn't healed yet.
Photos below of the tick and the bite as of yesterday after o scratched it again because I couldn't help myself...lol...so it's red a bit because of that.
Can anyone confirm the head is missing off this tick, bush tick maybe?
Should I bother to do anything else, it's been a month now or just suck it up princess you'll be fine?
Leah's on freak out mode and there's about 30 people telling me I'm in trouble so any reassurance from anyone in the know would be helpful...lol

I strongly suggest the rambo cortorisation method. Empty the powder of a couple of .22 shells onto the wound and apply flame. Problem solved!!!
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal??

From one of the medical sites on ticks " It is normal for a tick bite to remain slightly itchy for several weeks, however if other symptoms develop, then a doctor should be consulted immediately. "
