Tick Bite on child?
Any help would be appreciated!
My 5 year old son was at his Aunt’s farm, I was not present, he was returned to me by his father just before bedtime and apparently was given a bath by them which is unusual. I put him to bed, the next morning I almost fell over when I noticed the three large welts on the back of his calves.
I took photos of them as I found them to be shocking and for future reference. Not itchy and no pain.
The next morning they have grown in size, and have to my eyes what looks to be a pale bullseye pattern.
We are in rural Alberta, a couple hours west of Edmonton.
Apparently there has been a drastic increase in tick activity, the risk for Lyme disease remains low but is not unheard of!
Does this look like a tick bite to anyone else’s eyes!!?
