Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hello, I live in Michigan. Yesterday I was completely shocked and grossed out after finding a tick on top of my head. It felt like it was bloated a bit and after confirming with my young adult children that I actually had a real live tick embedded in the top of my head I had my daughter remove it. It took 3 tries to get it out and once it came out it didn't look like it was bloated. Could it have " dumped " its belly contents back into my head and if so, what should I do about it? The spot is still a bit tender and I've had a very very dull headache, hardly noticeable. I popped a few probiotic caps (14 strain) and took some Vit. C. Is there anything else I can do to make sure I don't get an infection or to counteract any of the possible toxins it may have injected? I appreciate this awesome forum and hope for some info on this. I still have the heebie jeebies! Juli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 You should take Isoproyply Alcohol (or rubbing alcohol) and put this on a cotton ball; and then hold the cotton ball on the spot on your head; do this often for a few days to destroy and germs or bacteria. Then after that; dab any veggie oil or baby oil on the spot for a few days; if you develop a rash with a red ring; you may antibiotics; a.-- - In , " julid93 " <julij wrote: > > Hello, > I live in Michigan.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Start taking Samento (Cat's Claw) & /or Olive Leaf Extract...both natural antibiotics, just as a precautionary Gina https://www.autisminsideout.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Last time I got a tick, I put tea tree oil on the bite, and took a bunch of herbs and stuff, don't remember. But for next time, maybe you can get that handy little thing called the " Tick Twister " . I just googled it and they are available a lot of places, like Amazon, for like $3-something. I always know exactly where my tick twister is; fortunately haven't needed it since a few months after we moved out of the woods. The last thing I want to do is squeeze tick juice into my body (sorry, I know it may have already happened, but with enough fortification, you should be fine. Like somebody said, watch for that red ring, and whatever other danger signs.) Joy , " julid93 " <julij wrote: > > Hello, > I live in Michigan.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi Juli - I'd clean off the site with diluted grapefruit seed extract, then watch for any symptoms cropping up. I had Lyme Disease, and the best way I can describe how I felt it is like having the worst flu of my life, minus the respiratory symptoms. My joints ached badly, my whole body could hurt, I was fatigued and so on. That didn't come about, though, until probably 6 months later. If you do end up with Lyme Disease, know that there is holistic treatment that works. I didn't accept a single Western medicine approach, and I am fine today.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 How did you go about removing it? The technique is very important. You can catch lyme disease by the infected tick injecting blood back into the wound. The treatment for lyme disease can be very nasty ( they threaded an antibiotic line directly into my heart through my arm )and the disease itself can be very debilitating. You may want to go see a doctor a.s.a.p. , " julid93 " <julij wrote: > > Hello, > I live in Michigan. Yesterday I was completely shocked and grossed out > after finding a tick on top of my head.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 You should also send the tic somewhere to get it tested to make sure it doesn't carry the lyme disease. I'm not sure where they do that. When I had a tic bite, I got it off and was going to the doctor for another matter, so took the tic with me and he said he would " send it in " to make sure it was lyme free.
