The risk is infection otherwise I wouldn't worry. Lyme disease is carried in very small deer ticks - which you normally don't notice until a week or 2 later by its signature bullseye rash. At this point, rubbing alchohol and some antibiotic ointment - you should be fine, whats left will work its way out.

 

I did use rubbing alcohol right after it was taken out and applied bandage that was soaked in the alcohol

 

 

I had one make it's home on the edge of the back of my ear.....Rick yanked it out...it hurt. Not much flesh on the back of one's ear.

I made sure to wash the area and used antibiotic ointment on it for several days. No problem.

Deer ticks are really, really small. You likely had a wood/dog tick on you, no Lyme disease from them.

 

continuing side note...

I did sell a car to Alicia Calaway, who appeared on Survior show many times as a token of appreciation she gave me a very nice picture with an autograph

 

and Steve...she's single.

 

hook a brother up will ya!!

tell her i know about wood!!

 

Meh, i have lyme disease, it's overrated. :-)

I usually use a lit cigarrette to remove a tick. Nasty things.

 

I got one lodged in my belley button last year. Can you say ouch!

 

Drinking a massive amount of Vodka should take care of the possibility of infection.

The long term effect on your liver?.......Not so sure.
