Tick on my son
Hey everyone, we found this tick behind my son’s ear today. The tick was successfully removed and I took him to the doctor. The doctors seems to think there’s nothing to worry about and to just keep an eye out for any rashes but I am just so worried. I know the picture isn’t the best but my son just wouldn’t fully stay still for me to take a super clear photo. This looks like an engorged deer tick, right? How much should I be worrying right now? I am totally panicking and having to wait these things out just sucks. Any insight good or bad would be super helpful. I live on Long Island, NY. Thank you.
