Back Sore After Tick Removal, Site Itchy And Red, Pregnant. Anything To Worry ?
Tick removed on Sunday- have no idea how long it was there. Friday, I noticed my back was sore, looked at my back, and at the site of the bite it was raised and red around it (about the size of a dime). Today, a day later, it is a little itchy and the redness is about the size of a quarter. I am also pregnant and worried from that aspect as well.

Hi
Do not worry, the GOD has given solid protective layer to human being in the form of skin, the total thickness of skin is good enough to protect against tick attack, of course you will notice local manifestation over focus, just apply calamine lotion will relieve every thing. Have good day, and take of your self
