We found a tick on DD last week. We live in a Lymes Disease area, but we’re sure it couldn’t have been there for all that long as it was on her shoulder and we think we would have seen it.
I attempted to remove the tick with tweezers but unfortunately it didn’t come out intact. There was a small black bit left in. DH and I tried to remove this but were unsuccessful.
I called the GP who said to just keep an eye on DD for now, to look out for a rash on her and to keep an eye on her general health and to call back if any changes.
The bite sort of scabbed over and today, the scab has fallen off but the black bit is still in there. Is that okay? Shouldn’t her body reject that itself or do we need to do something for it to come out?

To ask if there are any medical people on here who can help me with DD’s tick bite?
