Hi Del, I have succesfully applied mild electricity to tick bites. A 9 volt battery (or even a 1.5 volt would work just use a bit longer time) apply one terminal of battery to the dampened bite site and apply the other terminal to a dampened finger on the same side. Keep this contact for a minute. then change the polarity.
The easiest to manage would be a 1.5v cell , a D cell or an AAA or anything in between. a swipe of saliva on both end; place a finger on one end and place other end on the bite. and hold that for say 5 to 10 minutes. The change the cell around so that the other end in on the bite; to chase the current through the other way. And do the same amount of time. Do this several times a day for a day. If the bite site is still itching or swollen or hot, indicating infection then do above another day . And so on.
