[quote=Anonymous]This morning my DH found a tick on his lower back. It must have been there since the weekend, when we were at a friends' house with a woodsy backyard in Great Falls. I was able to get it off with tweezers and it was about pea-sized, maybe smaller. I didn't know we could keep it and have it tested so I flushed it down the toilet. In typical fashion, my DH is unfazed and has probably not given it a second thought all day. I don't want to overreact, but I want to make sure we don't miss the chance to do something we should be doing. Does my DH need to go to the doctor right away? Is there anything they can do pre-emptively to minimize the possibility of contracting Lyme disease? If he gets the "bulls-eye" rash, would it be at the same site where he found the tick? How noticeable is the bulls eye? Thank you![/quote]
