As a yogini hoping to be a parent soon I love reading about your experiences!<br /><br />I just had to comment on this post - I was bitten by a tick a number of years ago now. I plucked the tick out and put some antibacterial cream on, as your post suggests. I saw a doctor not long afterwards and she prescribed antibiotics in case of an infection, but, not being a huge fan of taking unnecessary medicine, I didn't take the drugs. I mean, how serious could a tick bite be??<br /><br />As it turns out - REALLY serious. 7 months later I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, which is potentially very serious and even FATAL if undiagnosed. Thankfully I only had a mild case. I had to take a 3-week treatment of major antibiotics. By the way, I was NOT bitten in an area that is known for Lyme disease.<br /><br />So I really have to share this in case other people bitten by a tick - especially a child!!!!!!!, they should know that this can be really serious and that they should SEE A DOCTOR!<br /><br />Namaste!Yogini Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787351711548823249noreply@blogger.com
