Had a tick hanging out of my leg..

[muggboots]

Might be ok after leg amputation

I'd amputate the head to make sure. His.

Are your midgey senses tingling?

 

[Ashley In!!]

Get yourself to the doctors tomorrow

 

[Wilfy]

Its been in long enough to lay eggs

Be hatching any minute.

 

[Joe Public]

Generally not a lot to be worried about in the uk. Any signs of a bullseye like mark, get in immediate contact with your gp.

Or win a speedboat.

 

[JJH]

I had the same a few weeks ago, the bite mark turned into the ‘bullseye’ so ended up on antibiotics for 3 weeks. Keep an eye on it

That’s exactly what my boy had

It's arse was waving about in the air, surely it would have to go right in to lay eggs?

They lay the eggs first then change position to push them in

You might have to ask @Big Jeff to suck on your leg for a bit

Carry tick tweezers or a tick card and how to remove them horrible little shits they are.

Years ago, we found one in the youngun's hair. It was the size of your little fingernail, so had been there for a bit as we had been larking about up the Dale the day before. Took him to A&E at Dryburn in Durham and they recommended we take him to a Vet!!! (Not kidding btw)
We took him home because I've got a little extractor for taking them off the dog, but it must have bailed out 'cos we couldn't find the bugger. If they jump off or come out clean there is no problem, but if they get distressed they vomit into your bloodstream through the proboscis, and that's where the bother starts.
You've got another leg!

My dog had one a few years back. We thought it was a skin tag until the vet plucked it off and there it was, it`s little legs waving in the air and huge bulbous body full of blood. Yeuch. When I was a kid and we went the Lake District we were always playing in the bracken and never knew about ticks and stuff but years later I found out that`s one of the places they thrive. It`s a miracle I never got bitten

 

[I'm Spartacus]

Just got out of the shower and thought there was a little scab on the bottom of my leg, pulled it off and the little bugger started walking round my hand. We've been to Arran and did a bit of walking but left on Saturday, I think it's been there since at least Friday. Am I going to die?

It only wanted a bit scran bless it.

My mate had one on his back and only knew when he was offshore some medic type gadgie gouged it out for him

 

[McMackem]

On cattle they put a lit cigarette to them, sorted. You might find that a bit painful.

Nasty little things. I know someone who got Lyme Disease. Not a pleasant thing to suffer from.

 

[Stubbs ftm]

You've not showered (with or without dog) since Friday?

Down 2 bottle of buckfast and as many tunnocks tea cakes as you can and you should be reet.

 

[silva fox]

Have you heard of limes disease you can get from ticks really serious

 

[Grimes]

I didn’t even know this was a thing. I’ve had all sorts bite me before and thought nowt of it.
