Got a couple of bites – i didn’t actually recall any ticks that needed removing. I’m here for a loooong holiday so not registered to a GP but just super paranoid I guess. Are these extreme mosquito bites?

  1. I often get like this just from regular bugs. If it was a tick – it would still be there. They don’t come off easily 🙂

  2. at worst this looks like an allergic reaction to a bug bite

    if it doesnt dissapear in a few hours you can go get creme “Alergozan” and apply it to the area

  3. No ticks, rapid progression, no typical signs – I’d say those are mosquito bytes. Some Dermodrin and they should be OK in no time.

  4. Well, considering lyme disease comes from Ticks, and very rare cases from mosquitoes, flies or fleas I will assume you’ll be fine!

  5. Do you think Bulgarians are somehow natural experts on Lyme disease? Talk to a doctor or if you’re going to ask reddit, at least go to the relevant sub.

  6. If the border of the big circle starts darkening it is a sign of lymes. It looks a bit like a target, google it. Right now to me it looks like a very angry mosquito bite and I wouldn’t be concerned but keep checking on it in the next few days and look out for signs.
