Question 1

what does a tick bit look like?

Accepted Answer

See below: They very in appearance, but often, the bite will often go unnoticed.  If the tick was attached for less than 24-48 hours, the likelihood that you have contracted a disease is almost zero (i never say never).  But watch for signs like a rash at the tick bite site, headaches, fevers,  muscle aches, chills, fatigue, malaise, nausea and vomiting.  If these occur, see you doctor.

Question 3

how does a tick look like on your skin?

Accepted Answer

See below: Varies on the size of the tick.  Some are large and obvious and others like ixodes species - deer ticks.  These can be so small in the juvenile form and not much larger in the adult for than a pinpoint.  Therefore, extensive tick skin surveys are always recommended in highly endemic areas.

Question 4

what does a tick bite look like on a human?

Accepted Answer

Tick bite: If the tick is actually biting when you see it, it will be a small brown or black bug attached by his legs and mouthparts to your body. Black text are about 4 mm across or bigger and deer ticks or brown ticks about 3 mm across.  After biting you may have a small growing red spot which itches somewhat for over subsequent days; you could actually develop a larger round spot. See a doctor immediately.

Question 6

i am experiencing  tick bite so what is a normal reaction to a tick bite and what does it look like?

Accepted Answer

Tick Bite: Hopefully, there won't be any significant reaction. I stumbled along this site which I found helpful:  http://www.tickbites.net/what-do-tick-bites-look-like-tick-bite-pictures/. It you have  a bull's eye lesion, or there appears to be infection (enlarging area of redness, warmth, pain, swelling, red streaking or fever with purulent drainage) - then that is a problem.

Question 8

does a tick have to be engorged to transmit illness or make me sick and if the tick still flat am i ok i'm really worried thank u ?

Accepted Answer

Can transmit illness: A tick doesn't have to be engorged to transmit infections; being engorged means it was attached long enough to feed on you but it doesn't have to be on that long to transmit Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella,Anaplasma etc.
I strongly advise finding a Lyme-literate Dr. for evaluation and treatment.

Adequate doses of doxycycline can prevent Lyme but you may need other Rx too.
