Topic: FREAKING OUT!!!! Found tick in my hair

My daughter and I have LD. I was driving last night and found a tick on my scalp. It was not engorged, but I panicked and threw it out the window of the car. I know I should have saved it, but I just wanted it as far away from me as possible at the moment. I am on Ceftin right now, but have not been able to get up to full dose yet again. Should I worry about this? I up'ed my dosage to 250mg AM & 250mg PM, but I don't know if this will be enough. Ceftin has worked the best for me recently, but then I had to stop taking it for a few weeks due to losing my job/health insurance. Now I am having to "ramp" back up. I am afraid this won't be enough if I was reinfected. I had washed my hair that morning, so I think I would have felt it there earlier if it had been, but maybe not. I am SOOOO grossed out by this. HELP!!!!!!! orrn

It's worth a call to your LLMD. He might want to change meds or add new ones. -------------------- sixgoofykids.blogspot.com

Was it attached or just crawling around? Call your LLMD and tell them. Hang in there. Hugs, Geneal
