I recently had a tick bite get infected and I was spiking fevers and such. I got myself to a doctor, had the Lyme tests (forget which two) and both came back negative. The doctor thought I might have accidentally left some mouth parts or the head inside when I removed it and that's how I got infected.
Two weeks of Amoxycillin and I feel normal again but will have to watch myself for a year or so for Lyme symptoms, just in case.
Why do we have ticks again? I know flies and skeeters are food sources but what eats ticks?
