One of the difficulties of having Alzheimers.

 I went on a walk in the woods last week.

We have had alot of rain so I knew ticks might be a problem

Sure enough I found a tick already engorged on my left axilla.  

I made a note to myself to have my wife remove it with tweezers. 

I forget to ask her till the next day.  Alzheimers.

I had her get a firm grip on the Tick and pull slowly.  

As best we can tell she did not break the tick apart? 

A have a red spot with some swelling that might be an infection. 

I wish I had some Tetracyline.  

I had had patients with history of multiple tick bites who seem to suffers from lethargy.

I treated him long term with high dose tetracyline.  

It seemed to help. 

I am an Infectious Disease Specialist with an interest in Tick induced diseases.  

For me to have not taken care of the Tick immediately was a real lapse in executive function.
