[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD had a tick in her neck a few years ago, took her to a walking clinic. Doctor said to just watch for fever and bulls eye ring for next few weeks. Hers was there for maybe 24hrs at most.[/quote] Wow! You have played Russian Roulette with your kid. Ask them to give her a Lyme test. ELISA and Western Blot. Google and educate yourself. [/quote] It is not so straight forward. Lyme will often not register in a blood test so soon. My son had Lyme Disease, tested negative 14 days after tick was removed and 2 days later he broke out in bull's eye rashes. Also, most doctors won't give a 21 day course of antibiotics on the off chance it could be Lyme.[/quote]
