Question by Josh: I found a tick on my testicles could this be lyme disease?
Now, the area there is a little bump, and part of my penis there is a rash that itches. We went camping and that’s how i got it, there also i got TONS of mosquito bites. What should i do?
I did not pull the tick out, i found it during school and when me and my mom went to pull it out, it wasn’t there
Best answer:
Answer by azrielle Probably not, the skin in that area is really sensitive, so any little irritation like a small tick bite could make you itch and cause that area to swell up. If you have any other symptoms like fever, muscle or joint aches, etc, go see your doctor.
Question by Rockstar: What animal does the infecting tick feed on just before it transmits Lyme disease to a human?
Best answer:
Answer by Cirbryn Mice or deer.
“Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi). Certain ticks carry these bacteria. The ticks pick up the bacteria when they bite mice or deer that are infected with Lyme disease.”
Question by jill_hohwald: Can you get a bulls-eye rash from a tick and NOT have lyme disease?
I was bit by a tick just over a month ago, a week later I developed the classic bulls-eye rash. Initial blood test came back negative for Lyme Disease, but now I’m feeling very sluggish and wonder if I should head back to the Doctor…

My MIL says it can show up 10 years later. I’m worried about my son b/c the dog might have them.
Please provide good sources.

Answer by Aqwa Even If your dog have a lyme it cannot be transmitted from dog to human. The only agent of Lyme transmission are ticks.
Lyme doesn’t show up in 10 completely symptomless years unless there was a reinfection after another tick bite
Question by mami: just found a tick on me?
i found a tick on me and im freaking out i pulled it off. i know i got the whole thing. now theres a red bump like a bug bite there and i googled it and it seemed like it was a deer tick the ones that give you lime disease.. should i go to the doctors ? i know it wasnt there for more than 2 days but its really disgusting
Best answer:
Answer by Midnyte I’ve seen people suggest keeping the tick, in case you have any ill effects. That way the doctor’s can test it to see what you’re suffering from. If you don’t start to feel sick in the next few days, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Question by ? Hurley is 10 months old ?: Does anybody know if a tick has to be latched on to transmit lyme disease?
I was feeding the horses and a tick was biting me. I didn’t know what it was until I came in the house 10 mins. later and pulled it off. It was not latched, just biting me. Does it have to be latched on for a period of time to transmit the diesase?

Answer by dadnbob It’s the bite that’ll do it. Keep on the look out for signs.

Question by Chaod: Does Lyme Disease come back on it’s own or do you need to have it come back by a tick bite?
My son was diagnosed with Lyme Meningitis last summer. He is having the basic symptoms of a fever, drowsiness, lack of hunger, chills etc. I just wanted to know if the Lyme can come back and affect him again without a tick bite or he needs to have a tick bite him in order to get it again. Thanks!

Answer by xanthenobe I’m not 100% sure, but a disease is usually difined as a cronic or reoccuring ailment. So my guess is that it can come back on its own. I would also say that regardless of the nature of his symptoms you should probably get him to a doctor A.S.A.P.

Question by Kimberly: tick head removal in a dog body is off head might be attached?
My daughter had noticed that my dog had this thing by his ear. it was huge and it was greenish white in color. She pulled it off and showed me here it was a tick. i could not tell if the head was with it or not seeming that it had black colored slimy stuff coming from where the head should be. I looked at the spot where she had pulled it. Of course its all puffy and I can not tell if there is a head there. I do not have the money for a vet and if I did it’s the holiday weekend. Can someone tell me how am I to know if there is a head under that skin and how can I remove the head my self ? I had used tweezers to poke around and I still cannot see anything. I am afraid by the look of it that there possibly is a head underneath. It does not look irritated nor does it appear to have the bulls eye look of lime disease
how will i know if my dog gets lymes before i can get him to the vet
