So, guys, i was in the forrest at saturday and while i checked my skin for tick i found one yesterday and one today morning. It is well beyond 24 hours. I made markings with pen on my skin and removed them. They were the small 2-3 mm in size.
What else should i do? I dont want to die.
Thanks!

Hopefully nothing bad, although I think you should go to a clinic if you feel unsure or you start developing symptoms. Keep an eye out for sudden fatigue and flu like symptoms. Is Lyme Disease common in your area to your knowledge?

Check what tick born illnesses are common in your area. You can either go straight to the doc to get some doxy, they should give you a course if you are in an area with lots of Lyme's. Or wait and see how it develops. Read up on the symtomps of the various tick born illnesses. But don't stress too much I found three deer ticks on me two weekends ago, I had been lazy with my checks, and so far I'm feeling fine!

This is not my first contact with ticks, i know about the symptoms, and even collected the tick for analysys.
I dont know about lyme in the region and wouldnt disturb the doc if not necessary.

Just check out for the bullseye rash in regards to Lyme.

If you get an influenza-like illness without a couple of weeks that also has a spotted rash, go and get antibiotics. Spotted fever.

That's pretty much the 2 most common infections.

Tick paralysis is fairly rare and only in specific areas.

I've had dozens of ticks throughout my childhood. Never once had any problem.

Look it up, north east us is really bad, but it's slowly spreading everywhere. Try to identify the type of tick if you can (although other illnesses besides lyme can be transmitted rarely)
Keep in mind the classic rash only happens in 60% of the cases, so look out for other symptoms.

I get around 50 tick bites each summer and borreliosis (at least that red circle) every two years or so. Never any other symptoms. Just get vaccinated and stop panicking.

Spotted fever is worst IMO

You have a pretty good warning with the bullseye rash to go and get antibiotics. Spotted fever just hits you and it's pretty severe.

You're overreacting like a little kid. Just do this>>1362761. Basically note the fact that you do have a tick, and if you do get sick you mention to the doctor you had a tick.

When you remove the tick, you don't want to pull it's body off with the head still in you. So that is why people suggest you use a burnt match -- it irritates it enough to unburrow its head, then you can remove it with tweezer. If you do just pull it out and the head comes off, then it will just itch for more than if you did it right but you will still be fine just keep it disinfected.
