tick on my nuts
I just found a tick on my right nut. It's been hurting having chest and back pain and headaches.My GF wont take it off(she is a nurse) it's been there for at least a week that I know of. Hard to get it myself
Hi sorry about your situation but fear not. You want to take tweezers and place them on the tick, close to the head as you can get (and your skin) and then lift slowly but steadily. Lift the tweezer straight up. The offending tick should come right up. Please google the CDC (Center of disease control) and they will tell you what the many diseases that ticks can transmit to humans. They can also help you to relieve any fears you may have about it. Hard to imagine a nurse that won't help, especially if she is your girlfriend but maybe she has some fears of her own? Ask them what you can do to be pro-active in avoiding in any disease process. Hope this helps a little? Good luck to you!
