This past week I got bit by a tick after hiking in the trails.

I didn’t understand the potential complications with tick bites ,until I reached out to healthcare colleagues and started researching tick bites.

During this episode I review the circumstances surrounding the bite, and the advice I have been given up until this point.

Tick bites are no joke and should be handled in a timely manner. Thank you to everyone that has helped me so far!

Have you been bit by a tick?

Comment below. We’ll see you in the next one!
