- Ticks are a common concern in New England during the late spring and early summer.
With some ticks potentially carrying lyme disease, it's important to be vigilant and to remove any ticks that you find on yourself, your children, or your pets.
Toni Eng, MD offers advice how to remove a tick, including why you don't need petroleum jelly, where to grasp the tick before pulling it away, and more.
Dr. Eng also explains how long ticks need to be attached in order to transmit lyme, what to look for in terms of symptoms of lyme disease, and why vigilance can be the difference between a nuisance and something more serious.
Dr. Eng sees patients at Health Express, our walk-in urgent care centers with multiple locations across the South Shore.

Thank you!
Just scratched my back earlier today and found my first tick. Tiny little guy, easily pulled it off. Now I definitely feel like going to the doctors😬
Thank youuuu ❤❤❤❤
My friend stepped on the nest of ticks.
Thank you very much for helping me find out what advice to give him. I was kind of worried sick for him you know
depends what area you live in and what kind of ticks abound, some tick borne diseases can be transmitted much faster than Lyme, so do your research.
Thank you I was so scared that I would get Lyme dieasece and die but i think it was there for only 24 hours thank you
Are you still alive I just found one today and freaked out lol
For real, are you ok. Found one on me last night and was like wtf
@@MarysAbyss I’m still alive! Lol
Is tgere any treatments for the little rash that we get after a tick bite?
Got bitten by a tick a minute earlier. Haysst I was so scared and now we are having a general cleaning in the house
Are you still alive? Hopefully you didn't get Lyme disease
@@SarahJarethOne doesn’t usually die from Lyme Disease, one suffers for years, as it systematically attacks and destroys your joints, your GI system, your heart and ultimately your central nervous system.
It is the same shape of bacteria that syphilis is and just like it,
it can give you heart attacks (Lyme carditis) and make you clinically insane (Neuroborreliosis).
Because the Center for Disease Messaging Control abruptly stopped their funding of the new Baxter Lyme Disease vaccine in Clinical Trials, in 2015, and no other lab wants to buy Baxter’s research-
the CDC continues to censor the test results from both Quest & Lab Corp.
What are they hiding?
His whole body embedded underneath my skin. What do I do?
Go to a hospital immediately, could have like disease
Grab
That's been there a long time
A doctor in Oregon told me that Lyme disease doesn't exist in this state. I got two untreated tick bites that say otherwise.
