Okay, dear heart, need to ask a med question. We just found a huge tick in Aria's hair that had obviously been feeding all day if not longer; what symptoms do I need to watch for besides the usual flu like ones? I think she got it at the local playground :(
the good news is that Lyme disease is not found in the ticks in Kansas. You do need to watch her for any signs of rash or fevers as others tick borne ailments do occur such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (found in the Bronx as well actually). I'm sure she's be fine, she may have a small reaction at the bite site like a mosquito bite. Itchy, annoying, but ultimately harmless. *Hugs*
