A member asked:

I was bitten by a tick on my neck yesterday. it now has a raised lump and is red around it and is a bit itchy. do i need to have it checked?

YES: You should have an exam to determine if you need antibiotics. You will need to tell the examiner about the tick and if you have saved it, bring it with you for the visit.
