Tick bite
I just pulled a tick off my neck that wasn't completely dug in but had blood in it so I know it bit me. should I call the doctor tomorrow or wait until Monday?
Good question. Keep the tick, put it in a clean pill bottle or a zip-baggie, and be sure to wash your hands w soap really well as well as the bite site.
If there's an urgent care, you could try that, or if they blow you off or there's not one, can't hurt to call the doc. Sooner in my mind is always better, but I've read that it takes a while for the tick to do its dirty work ... however, I'm not real trustful of statements like that.
I guess I'd be cautious and call tomorrow. Let us know what they say and what you do, okay? I never saw 'my' ticks, so I'm not sure what I'd do.
Take care! Fingers crossed for you (X) !

Good for you!
There is comfort to be had from pressing ahead on all fronts, knowing that you are doing all that is possible, like making the call you already made even tho it didn't result in immediate attention. The worst part of being ill is being ill AND feeling powerless. Roar!
Let us know how it goes, okay?
