[quote=Anonymous]I second the prophylactic antibiotics. You can also send the tick to a lab (assuming you kept it) to have it tested for Lyme. There are a few, but here’s one: https://web.uri.edu/tickencounter/testing/. We did this twice- once for a tick on our dog (negative) and once for a tick on my DD (positive). My DD never showed symptoms of Lyme, but the test made me glad we did the antibiotics. The test can also tell you how engorged the tick is, and it didn’t look like my DD’s on for very long, which also gave me peace of mind. [/quote]
