| Call your pediatrician and keep an eye on it for 30 days. If red ring appears or kid has fever, any other symptoms etc… get in touch with pediatrician again asap! |

It isn’t just Lyme disease. There is Rocky Mountain spotted
Fever and the beef allergy. Yes that is right, there is now a tick (lone star tick) that causes severe allergy to red meat! A childhood without hamburgers would be terrible |

| It’s probably too late for this, but try to take a picture of the tick so that you can identify it. There are loads of pictures online. That way you know what to look out for, since different ticks carry different diseases. It also matters how long the tick has been attached, so pay attention to whether it is engorged. |
