    Try magnaplasm (think that's what it's called) - magic stuff on splinters apparently...
    Dr Karl had a call a couple weeks back about Lyme. Summary of answer is that it won't be Lyme, as they have not detected this in Aus samples of people and ticks (insert conspiracy theory noise here...), but it may be a similar bacteria, it's just Aus is such a backwater compared to Europe, the research hasn't been done yet - comes down to $$$$ and number of cases...

    Local young lass had suspected Lymes desease (was diagnosed with chronic fatigue for years). Her family saw a story about tick bites so they sent a blood sample to America. They treated her as per Lymes and she is now OK. Absolutely true as I know them. Make of it as you wish.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I believe the little bugger was in the middle of his back. @AB best to ask Leah which half of AB she wants to keep, top or bottom.
    Don't stress, I'll bring my old timer over today and we'll dig the pricks head out, start liquoring yourself up now ready ;-) !

    Hydrogen peroxide straight onto bite site, will kill the infection stony but you will still have to get the head removed or it will reinfect as it decomposes in your back! Yeccch!

    Don't those WA ticks carry their eggs in their mouth?. Takes around a month for them to hatch.
