Please don’t laugh….

…it really is very serious or could have been.

I found a tick embedded in my navel yesterday and Colin had to extract it.

It was dead but the question is...how did it get there?

    Tell the doctor!!! A family Member of ours has suffered for years with the after effects of undiagnosed Lyme disease! I sound alarmist but please take every preccaution.

      Hola everyone, I answered this in my last post but I will mention it to my doctor when I see him next week. I promise.

  2. Yes I would tell the doctor right away!

    Yes, make note of it and may be even get tested for Lymes disease.

    I knew a lady who was chronically sick, but they never tested her for lyme because there wasn’t supposed to be lyme in Montana. She finally insisted on the test and guess what? Six months of IV antibiotics! But at least she finally found it, and is fine now.

  5. Yikes, alarmist is right. Pick it off and get on with your day. The odds of getting Lyme disease, even if bitten by an infected tick, are extremely small.

    Now THAT is just plain creepy. A tick is one thing, but in your NAVEL!!!! Ewwwwwwww. I can’t get that picture out of my mind….Wait, I think I need to go check….LOL

    MAYBE YOU HAVE LYME DISEASE AND NOT GLUTEN PROBLEMS. IF THAT SUCKER WAS DEAD, IT HAD BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE.
