I started to feel sick and then found a tick...?

Question 1
I started to feel sick and then found a tick...?...  I am feeling sick at my stomach, having aches and pains all throughout my body, am really cold, and have a fever. I take some Tylenol and feel better for a few hours but then start to feel sick again. I found the tick after I started to feel sick and removed it. Without thinking, I flushed it. It was brown with a little bit of a white collar? Should I see a doctor?

Also, there is no telling how long the tick was attached but I live in an area with a lot of ticks.

Answers
1)   Yes, go see a doctor. You might have contracted something from the tick. - Lollipop

2)   There was an article on the news the other day about how there are new breeds of tics that are evolving, and how dangerous they are. I would definitely head to the doctors asap as a necessary precaution. - Kat

3)   Yes you should see a doctor as soon as you can. Ticks spread a lot of horrible diseases. I don't think you should worry because most of them can be cured, but seeing a doctor cant hurt you. - MecHa

4)   You need to see a doctor, the kind of tick may matter, but could not matter at all as the region in which you picked up the tick may only have one species, making your description not required.

You may have lymes disease, go read about the symptoms and check for the bulls-eye around the tick bite to see if you have it or not. No bulls-eye, no lymes disease. - Tom

Question 2
Random adrenline rushes?...  I have an extremely bad temper problem as it is, and whenever I usually get heated about something I get extreme adrenline rushes and get shakey and what not..but lately they've been coming with no reason at all, I'd be perfectly chill and fine but all of a sudden I'd feel like I'm going to lose control over my arms and hands and its extremely hard to keep my hands from clenching and trembling. I don't know if its a medical issue or if I should be worried... Anyone have any answers?

Answers
1)   Sounds more like anxiety or some kind of stress disorder/anger management issue. - Tom

2)   Yes, if it is getting worse I would suggest finding a therapist. - kkkkurp ruyue

3)   I get them as well. Don't think about going to a therapist, though. They will piss you off further. - Knotseesaurus Rex

Question 3
About how long will surgery take for a self inflicted gun shot to the head?...  My friend tried to commit suicide about two hours ago, and so far there hasn't been any news. I'm just worried and would like a time frame of how long the surgery might last. So far the silver lining is that he's in the 1/3rd of people with cranial bullet wounds that survive the trip to the hospital. Would anyone happen to know what his chances of survival might be too? I'm really worried. Serious answers only please. :(

Answers
1)   There's going to be a lot of damage. Time frame depends on how he shot himself and what kind of damage has been inflicted. Survival rate at this point, if he made it to the hospital at all increases dramatically. It's going to be touch and go. He's probably no doing too hot, but be confident, he's in the care of his surgeons, they'll do everything they can to help him. Like I said, the fact that he survived the trip to the hospital says a lot. - Boots McGooch

2)   It is a delicate part of the body. However, due to this fact it can take 10-20 hours easily. The intricacy of the brain means that he is expected to go through about 4 more soon and that is just the average and depends on the severity. In addition, he will be in a hospital for 2-5 months again depending on the severity. However, the bright side is that the brain is highly adaptable and that these people are trained severely in order to do this work and this is probably about their 200th surgery (at least) if you are in an urban area. - Brandon

3)   What you are about to read will be upsetting. I'm truly sorry for what I will say and if you cant bare the pain, please, dont read it. Injuries like this can affect people in many drastic ways and I am just trying to give you the picture so you dont get your hopes up too much.

You'll need to prepare yourself for the fact their personality is likely to change drastically if they survive, in many unpredictable ways. He could forget large portions of his life, people, the ability to speak or remember, the ability to hear, see, inhibitions, he may become more docile, incontinent, anything. If I were you, I would be cautious about getting my hopes up. Be supportive for the family and offer them kind words, but its a gunshot wound to the head and the chance of the individual dying of internal bleeding, oxygen deprivation to the brain, infection, sub-dural haemorrhaging, etc and their effects on his brain if he survives them, will be grave. But the fact is, what if he missed his brain all together? What if he went through the front of his face to the back ,or through the sides, aiming too low? He may be completely mentally capable and just lose his sense of smell, or an eye, or merely just find it a bit more difficult to chew. From his intentions however, its likely that he did aim for the brain.

I'm truly sorry for your situation and for your friend. I suffer from depression and find this mans story the worst of them all. - Tom

What are the signs that a laxative is working?...  I took a Senna laxative about nine hours ago, but have not had a movement yet. I can feel stuff happening in my intestines and I have even had some mildly painful cramps. I have read that Senna can take days, but that is simply not acceptable as I have work this week. Will it work soon or perhaps in the morning?

Answers
1)   Your parents probably have long chins too. Or your grandparents or great grandparents. It's not your fault. You should be thankful you have a chin. Don't listen to those people. You can get plastic surgery. - Michelle Cookies

2)   Its genetics your family members must have this trait and of passed it on to you its not your fault. there are gonna always be people who are mean and tease you but don't let it get to you just keep your head held high and keep it moving. and you can get plastic surgery but don't there's no need to mess with what god gave you just work it in your own way look at reese witherspoon, sarah jessica parker, and jennifer aniston they all have long chins and are still beautiful women with fabulous careers.
