After the tick is removed, disinfect the bite site. Put the tick in rubbing alcohol with the date and the victim's name on the container and save. Mock recommends being especially watchful for the first 10 to 14 days after a tick bite. Take your tick along with you. Remove a tick as soon as you see one, Mock said.
Ticks require several hours to become firmly attached.
Disease is rarely transmitted within the first eight hours of attachment, seldom even within the first 18 hours. Sorry, we are unable to answer questions about specific pet health problems.
