Answers:
If you've received a tick bite:

1.Remove the tick promptly and carefully. Use tweezers to grasp the tick near its head or mouth and pull gently to remove the whole tick without crushing it.

2.If possible, seal the tick in a jar and keep it for a week or two. Your doctor may want to see the tick if you develop symptoms of illness after a tick bite

3.use soap and water to wash your hands and the area around the tick bite after handling the tick.

4.Call your doctor if you aren't able to completely remove the tick.


see your doctor if you develop:

.a rash
.a fever
.muscle aches
.join pain
.swollen
.flu like symptoms

call 911 if you develop:
.a severe headache
.difficulty breathing
.paralysis
.chest pain or heart palpitations
You should be alright, as long as the ticks head is not burried in your skin.
