Tick Bite.

[Tilly2]

Last week, I found a tick embedded into the skin just below my clavicle. I removed the tick with a tick removal gadget and washed the area well with disinfectant soap.

I applied tea tree cream and thought no more about it, apart from the occasional shudder.

The site of the bite is still very sore and the redness, which had disappeared is back. Literally, it hurts if I touch that area and there is a lump underneath the redness.

Shall I just continue to apply the tea tree cream? It's been over a week now and it doesn't seem to be disappearing.

I used an old school book, Roberts Biology, mighty tome that it was and that worked on a ganglion. It has never come back

I would add to this to clarify. Neither my husband or my son are the wolf whistling type, or ever have been. They are far removed from 'Jack the lads'. No problem with testosterone though! I personally am not attracted to loud jokey men. But I will never agree that wolf whistling is an issue or sexist or that's an indication that it's an indication they would like to bed you. I don't find it offensive though because wolf whistling isn't personal or intended to upset. And if it did, yes it would be my problem.
