My Tick Bite

[Tilly2]

...still hasn't popped. The infection has gone after taking the antibiotics but the tick head is still in there. I am bathing it with hot salty water and have had a go at squeezing it but all that happens is that the skin abrades and a clear fluid comes out. Yesterday, I resorted to a needle and tweezers but made a right mess and it's now very very sore sore.

Any suggestions as to how it can be drawn out?

When my granddaughter had a verrucca she was advised to use the following over three days and repeat until gone. It worked
Day 1 tee tree oil on cotton pad fix in place with tape
Day 2 silver duct tape
Day 3 banana skin scraped clean hold in place with plaster.
Have used this for ticks and nasty splinters too

I also used to use the soap and sugar poultice. It was brilliant for drawing splinters out.
