Has anyone had a tick bite that "persisted" and didn't disappear after a few days?

If yes, does the bite "flare" up and down like LD symptoms do?

If yes, how long has the "bite" been there?

I thought they went away, but I read about someone who said their bite has persisted in the same spot and flares-up and down...

Thanks in advance.

Is this going on for you now?

If there is ANY chance that there are still any tick mouth parts embedded, they should be excised immediately.

Yes, mine have reappeared many times. Now that I am on many antibiotics, I can feel the rashes starting to appear (they always itch first), but they have stopped appearing.

Before the antibiotics, the only way I could get them to go away was to take Olive Leaf. Otherwise, they would expand and send the disease throughout my body each time.

So, i really hope the antibiotics are killing it and not just supressing it.
