Was it a tiny deer tick or a big wood tick? I thought it was the tiny ones that carried lymes - even so, we were in Southern IL in June and I had an attached deer tick - but the locals assured me that the occurrence of lymes down there was pretty low anyway. Anyway, so far I've been fine. Hopefully the same for you!

Even tho you got it out I would put a drop of lavender oil, tea tree oil from Walmart , or even some I beleive clove oil, which you have to ask for from the druggist. Don't need prescriction and clove will also numb any pain you may have. It's used for toothaches and infections in gums. All will fight infection , but don't use more than twice a day.They are concentrated oils and should not be overdone.
