What does a tick look like that sucked into the body?
Mite in case of untimely detection, it gets completely under the skin. In this case, extracting it will be much more problematic. A photo of a tick under the skin is not a very pleasant sight, depending on where the parasite found refuge, the picture varies.
Interesting!
After getting on the body of a person or animal, the parasite is able to move about 4 hours in search of a suitable place to stop and commit a bite. Further, the arachnid can climb deep, the skin swells over time, turns red
Hairline
In places with abundant vegetation, the tick is absorbed quickly and very soon bite place will look like a small dark dot. Over time, the skin will begin to turn blue, this is the main indicator of the presence of a pest and that it has sunk deep into the skin.
Open areas
Recognizing a tick under the skin of a person in open areas is easier. At first, the parasite looks like a small mole, a speck. After several hours, a red border begins to form around the new “mole”, which indicates that it has entered the body.

Only the neoplasm will begin to change color, you must immediately contact the emergency room or try self extract tickthat got under the skin.
On a note!

The parasite is cleaned in several ways:
- It is easier to seek help from specialists immediately after discovery. You should not call an ambulance, after a bite a person moves independently, calmly gets to the nearest emergency room, where he will be provided with the necessary assistance.

The bite site is abundantly smeared with vegetable oil, a couple drops of paraffin are dripped, blocking the access of oxygen. The parasite begins to look for air, climbs out, here you can grab it. This method is recognized as not the safest, with a lack of oxygen, the tick releases more toxic substances, throws them into the selected organism.
