About two months ago, my oldest son found a tick full of blood in the back of his neck. A few weeks ago, I found one embedded in my side. It wasn&#8217;t full of blood yet, so it hadn&#8217;t been there too long. I&#8217;m guessing about 12 hours, so chance of lyme disease is slim since it takes at least 24 hours to transmit it.<br \/>\nI pretty sure my son&#8217;s tick was in longer than that. His doctor put him on an antibiotic, just in case. I&#8217;m not a big fan of antibiotics for &#8220;just in case&#8221;, but I guess it&#8217;s the lesser of two evils. My father actually had lyme disease and was on very powerful antibiotics for 2 months, which made him very tired.<br \/>\nI was able to get both of our ticks out, but each one had a little piece left in. I took my son to the emergency room. While we were waiting, another mother came in with her son. She had a tick in her shoulder earlier in the day, and her son had a tick in the back of his head. The emergency room doctor removed the piece from my son without a problem.<br \/>\nWith my tick, I decided to try a nearby urgent care to get the rest out. I waited 2 1\/2 hours before I finally saw someone. They told me they weren&#8217;t going to try and get the piece out. It would come out on it&#8217;s own. Yeah, I wasn&#8217;t too happy I wasted 2 1\/2 hours and $20.00 for them to tell me they weren&#8217;t going to do anything. I did learn that it&#8217;s ok to leave a small piece of a tick in if you can&#8217;t get it out.<br \/>\nAfter my son&#8217;s tick, I bought a tick removal tool from amazon and a tick release liquid. I couldn&#8217;t get my tick out using the key. Maybe I just wasn&#8217;t using it right or maybe it was because the tick wasn&#8217;t full of blood. I don&#8217;t know. My son&#8217;s father got 4 out of 5 ticks out of a dog using the tick key. I used the tick release liquid on my tick and I think it killed the tick. I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s good or bad. <br \/>\nTo remove the tick, use a great pair of tweezers and squeeze as close to the skin as you can and pull straight out until the tick releases. Don&#8217;t squeeze the sack. That could cause the tick to vomit more disease carrying bacteria into you, which is what I hope the tick release liquid did not do.<br \/>\nDuring my emergency room and urgent care visits, I noticed that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyscrubs.com\/categories\/Scrubs\/Scrubs-for-Women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nursing scrubs<\/a>, the nurses were wearing, are pretty boring. There are websites out there which actually sell scrubs. Nowadays, scrubs come in all sorts of different colors and patterns. If you are a nurse or doctor tired of wearing the same old scrubs, you might want to give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyscrubs.com\/categories\/Scrubs\/Scrubs-for-Women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.blueskyscrubs.com\/categories\/Scrubs\/Scrubs-for-Women\/<\/a> a look, and if you go outdoors, watch out for those ticks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live in upstate New York and this time of year, ticks are running rampant.
