jesus christ someone please post some tick related whitepills. im just here as a very infrequent hiker, only ever stick to trails, never spend more than 3 hours on outings. found one 24 hours ago on my stomach right after i got home when i felt it pinching (had two layers tucked in, jacket zipped up and a scarf on for the record). it wasnt engorged at all but i ripped it out with my hand, it was definitely latched on good. i lanced it with a kitchen knife and it kept kicking for 15 minutes, fuck they are hardy. left only a small pink speck which i washed with isopropyl. i have no insurance but i can get a policy to see a doctor for a prescription, or just pay out of pocket for a visit... but who do i see? which test is the best? im on long island so according to
>>1732649 i should be most concerned with babesiosis... what the fuck should i do
cant find any consistent stats on what percentage of ticks carry disease, also read mixed things regarding the "at least 24 hours of feeding to contract lyme" assertion, anyone else been bitten by ticks numerous times with no complications?
