advice
I just found a tick in my hair (Which has probably been there since saturday since I got three on my pantlegs but didn't bother to cheak my hair, yes I know I'm stupid) I know the chances of getting lime disease are slim, but what are signs I should lookout for? Is it even transmitable through the scalp? thanks, 14/f
Signs and symptoms of Early Local Lyme Disease often starts with flu-like feelings of headache, stiff neck, fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. About 60% of light-skinned patients notice a unique enlarging rash, referred to as erythema migrans (EM), days to weeks after the bite. On dark-skinned people, this rash resembles a bruise.
The rash may appear within a day of the bite or as late as a month later. This rash may start as a small, reddish bump about one-half inch in diameter. It may be slightly raised or flat. It soon expands outward, often leaving a clearing (normal flesh color) in the center. It can enlarge to the size of a thumb-print or cover a persons back.
Don't confuse a local reaction to a tick bite, with signs of infection. A small inflamed skin bump or discoloration that develops within hours of a bite and over the next day or two is not likely to be due to infection - but rather a local reaction to the disruption of the skin.

From what I gather, it sounds like it's unlikely you have it. The best way to be certain, however, is to go visit your doctor.

are there any good music editing programs that i can download?
I find that Audacity is fairly decent, as downloadable programs come. It really depends on what you're using it for, overall.
