Will sulfameth trimethoprim 800 be used for a tick or spider bite?
Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (often referred to as Bactrim) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not specifically for tick or spider bites. While it may be prescribed if a bite becomes infected, it is not a first-line treatment for the bites themselves. For tick bites, monitoring for signs of Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses is essential, while spider bites may require different management depending on the severity. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
Do all female deer ticks have lyme disease?

*brief summary of a personal occasion*...
ticks may borough deep into the skin, so much so that it can look like a skin mark or a simple mole. my brother found one on his upper back today, and a PRETTY DECENT size, too. it embedded itself so far into the skin that only the upper back of the tick was showing as a zit sized skin mark( even so the tick was maybe 4-6mm THATS BIG! ), no legs visible. we got tweezers, band-aids, cotton, alcohol, a magnifier and a locking empty pill container. *note: TICKS CAN LIVE IN RUBBING ALCOHOL! , also the American dog tick and deer tick get confused even by pros, so don't freak if it looks like a deer tick.
PS, it was only the DOG tick NOT THE DEER TICK:)
How many ticks and mites are in the world?
Estimating the exact number of ticks and mites in the world is challenging due to their vast diversity and the difficulty in surveying all habitats. There are around 900 species of ticks, but mites are far more numerous, with estimates suggesting over 48,000 described species, and potentially millions of undiscovered species. Collectively, they play significant roles in ecosystems, but their population numbers can vary greatly depending on environmental conditions.
What level is a mighty mite ready to metmorph?
A mighty mite, which is typically a term used for young athletes or competitors in sports like wrestling or martial arts, is generally ready to "metamorph" or progress to the next level when they have demonstrated a solid understanding of basic techniques and skills. This readiness often includes consistent performance, confidence in their abilities, and the capacity to adapt to more advanced strategies or challenges. Additionally, emotional maturity and a willingness to learn and grow play vital roles in this transition.

Your family doctor should have a look to decide what type of rash you have and then treat it.

If it is Crusted Scabies it is important to wash or dry clean all bedding; vacuum sofas, etc.
Who knows about Demodex Mites human variety. Not the animal type. They are different.?
Demodex is a genus of tiny parasitic mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. About 65 species of Demodex are known; they are among the smallest of arthropods.
Demodex canis lives on the domestic dog. Infestation with Demodex is common and usually does not cause any symptoms, although occasionally some skin diseases can be caused by the mites.
Two species living on humans have been identified: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites. Both species are primarily found in the face, near the nose, the eyelashes and eyebrows, but also occur elsewhere on the body.
In the vast majority of cases, the mites go unobserved, without any adverse symptoms, but in certain cases (usually related to a suppressed immune system, caused by stress or illness) mite populations can dramatically increase, resulting in a condition known as demodicosis or Demodex mite bite, characterised by itching, inflammation and other skin disorders. Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) can also be caused by Demodexmites. There is some evidence linking Demodex mites to some forms of the skin disease rosacea, possibly due to the bacterium Bacillus oleronius found in the mites
Most are microscopic meaning you cannot see it with the naked eye. A microscope would have to be used to see it.
