naw dude, ticks are nothing, deer ticks carry lymes disease, regular wood ticks are harmless, Ive had a million ticks on me before, but this time its different, even after pulling it out, it seems different, my back has been twitching in the area it was now for about 7 hours

heres a pic for comparison: deer tick on left, wood tick on right

You know, you have lyme's disease forever? It stays in your body until you're dead.

Exactly, that`s what I`ve known to be true. My buddy has it from a deer tick and he`s got a few problems because of it. DEFINATELY see a doc. Seriously.

yeah, it does stay with you forever, it causes cardiovascular problems, is linked to arthritis, knee and joint problems, heart disease, and chronic fatigue syndrom, all sound extremely not fun, especially not fun considering you can have them all at the same time, I did call my doc and left a message, I pray he calls me back asap

yeah. I had lyme disease for about 2 years before getting it diagnosed and treated. I never saw any bullseye mark or never noticed myself get bitten, but my life started falling apart for a few years, then I went to get a blood test and found out. some of the symptoms stay with you forever, so it's better to make sure you stop it before it sets in.

Poye, you should definitely see a doctor just in case, because it's not something you want to develop. The symptoms suck, nerve damage, psychological problems, intense joint pain, and a few more. My knees hurt pretty bad a few times out of the year ever since i had it.
