No I never realised the Tick was there for a couple of days as its body had fallen of but it's legs and mandibles were still in my leg, The rash gets steadily bigger and looks like a dart board before it fades, oddly I was on the plane home from USA and was reading a magazine that was in the seat back of the plane and I saw an article about Tics so this made me aware, I kept the magazine and lo and behold a fews days after I got home the rash started to appear, I went to my Doctor at home and showed him the magazine and the rash and he confirmed Lymes disease and injected me with antibiotics there and then and I continued with further treatment till tests confirmed I was free of the disease, Southampton University teaching Hospitals were at the time doing studies on Lymes disease and asked me to participate in trials which I did, strange how things pan out isn't it, any where there are Deer as in the New Forest, Tics can infect you with Lymes Disease if the are carrying the Virus.
