| | | Ticks
For the second time in about a month or so I've found a Tick burrowing its little way into my skin. Both times I think I have removed them successfully but if I were to leave anything behind, would it be dangerous?

Before I got the hang of removing them properly I left bits behind plenty of times. Whenever I did so I found I got a mild infection in the bite area similar to other insect bites.
Again I think the best advice is to do your best to remove the whole thing and be aware of any flu like symptoms that develop. |
