Vet told me the head stuck in skin does not cause the infection,when they start feeding they release a type of saliva which carries all their infections,etc back into your system. So if you catch it early enough you probably won't have an issue.Heard the same about olive oil,dish soap. Supposed to suffocate them. I've tried it and it took a long time for it to work, if it didn't hurt so bad I would use a blow torch on the basta4DS.
Hope she is doing better. While the bill may leave you sad, it would be a sadder XMAS if you lost her.Damn 4000.00 vet bill,gonna be a sad XMAS this year
