Index of Subjects Bev, last June, I removed a partially engorged tick from my back (with some difficulty reaching). I too put antiseptic on it and waited to see what happened. I had a red mark about 3/4 of an inch round which persisted for many months and was quite itchy, but I did not feel any other adverse effects. I still have a faded brown mark in the spot, but no more itch. Unless the bacterium lies dormant for many years, hopefully my actions were adequate. At the time, there was quite a local paranoia about ticks and getting to the doctor immediately for an antibiotic, which I ignored. Ken MacAulay Port Mouton, NS
