[quote=Anonymous]I found an engorged tick in the hair of my toddler today. It is impossible for me to say for sure but I think it is a deer tick. When this happened to my older daughter they offered to put her on a course of doxy or just wait and watch. Since she resists medication, we chose the wait and watch. There is a place in Germantown that will test the tick for lyme(for $75) and I'm considering that as a first step. They can also do a blood test, but it sounds like it may take some time for the blood test to show a positive result. Does anyone have direct experience with ticks/lyme? Thanks[/quote]
