The Tick
Other.How do you do that without scorching yourself, Do you use a hot needle ?
I was taught that you never pull it off since the head can detach and stay embedded. My preferred method is to burn them off.

You need to see a dr. asap as G-d forbid if you did get lyme disease it can cause things like this if left untreated can lead to serious problems, including severe mental illness and psychosis.

Stage 3 – Late persistent infectionVery interesting.
Chronic neurologic symptoms occur in up to 5% of untreated patients.[17] A polyneuropathy manifested primarily as shooting pains, numbness, and tingling in the hands or feet may develop. A neurologic syndrome called Lyme encephalopathy is associated with subtle cognitive problems such as difficulties with concentration and short term memory. Such patients may also experience profound fatigue.[22] Other problems such as depression and fibromyalgia are no more common in people who have been infected with Lyme than in the general population.[23][22] Chronic encephalomyelitis, which may be progressive, may involve cognitive impairment, weakness in the legs, awkward gait, facial palsy, bladder problems, vertigo, and back pain. In rare cases, frank psychosis has been attributed to chronic Lyme disease effects, including mis-diagnoses of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Panic attack and anxiety can occur, also delusional behavior, including somatoform delusions, sometimes accompanied by a depersonalization or derealization syndrome similar to what was seen in the past in the prodromal or early stages of general paresis.[24][25]

You are right tho. It says this only happens in a small % of cases, but it is not unheard of. In fact this recent case in the news about the guy who went into a church and shot the pastor dead...they are saying he was suffering from this. Who knows if that's actually true, or just his lawyer trying to get him off...but it can happen.
Either way, best to get checked out. I'm sure they can rule Lyme and other things out with some simple blood work.
Every "expert" spoken to regarding this supposed Lyme-sufferer says that Lyme cannot cause somebody to be psychotically violent--that these people were mentally ill before contracting Lyme.
My guess is that this murdering pig (yimach schmo vezichro) is a left-wing, religion-hating Nazi--possibly a homosexual activist.

I LOVE the Simpsons, especially Homer. Matt Groening has gotten me through many difficult (and happy) times in my life. Favorite. Show. Ever. ;DC.F. you gotta watch Family Guy!
I've tried it many times--it's just not my thing (like South Park). I do love KOTH though, and Malcolm somewhat.
