I went hiking yesterday and by the time I got home I found a tick in my neck and one on my breast area. We pulled them out with tweezers and I went on my taking a shower. Neither of these bites really hurt a the next day the feel fine. Only one major problem with this story....
I woke up pretty sore in my stomach and when I took off my shirt low & behold there is another tick that had lodged itself inside my belly button!!!! WE pulled it with tweezers and I washed the area with soap/hydrogen peroxide. 5 hours later I am in extreme pain inside my belly button and I'm pretty much hunched over. Inside there is a black circle which almost looks like another tick that is actually totally embedded in the skin. Ticks don't actually climb inside your skin so I can only imagine that it's a few areas where the critter was biting me throughout the night. I'm not going to freak out because everything I've read states disease symptoms do not start occurring until 3 -6 days later but if this pain doesn't go away by tomorrow I'll probably be calling a doctor.
