A member asked:

What can i do if my husband was bitten by a tic this evening. should he take any precautions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tick bites: The most important thing yoiu can do is to remove the tick with a tweezer, careful to remove the mouth parts from the bite area.. Wash the area thoroughly, using alcohol at the site of the bite may be helpful. Inspect the rest of the skin for other tick bites or a target appearing rash, indicating prior tick bites. Deer ticks that carry lime disease are very small, look carefully.
