HELP! I found ticks on me!?

Question

I found about 15 ticks on me. They are the REALLY small deer ticks. I got the 15 off, What do I do to make sure all ticks are gone????

Please respond soon, It only takes 24 hours for Lyme disease!

Answer 1

well if you got them all off. thats a good thing . were they stuck in or just crawling around . if they were stuck in. then i hope you removed them by letting them back out on their own. with heat or vaseline over them. if they have not stuck in yet i dont think you have much to worry about. but stay out of that part of the woods

Answer 2

Two things you can do.  A tub of hot water with alcohol or bleach will get them to release their bite and move. This is good for areas you can't see or reach.  

Rub full strength alcohol on your body.  You may need someone to help you.  

Be sure to use a white or light color towel so you can see if a tick has rubbed off.  Use our fingers to feel for one that may have died while in bite.  

Don't forget to check your head, the back of your ears is a good hiding place.

    

Answer 3

good that you have killed the ticks, but make sure they are dead and that you have removed properly as they can leave behind a part of their body and you can still get an infection.if the tick is dead it will have darkened in colour and shrivelled up.Apply a cold pack and seek medical attention

Answer 5

the best thing to do is have someone check you to see if they find any. It's best to take a tweezers and pull them off by the head. take shower Wash your hair good because then you can feel if there are any on your scalp. if the sores are redthat'ss normal at first put some 1% hydrocortisone cream on them. if therednesss does not go away in a day or two, feel sick or any of the bites looked infected you should se the doctor. One sure sign of Lyme disease is a round, red rash that spreads at the site of a tick bite. This rash can get very large.

Flu-like symptoms are also very common. People in the early stages of Lyme disease may feel very tired and have headaches, sore muscles and joints, and a fever.
