[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a doctor offers you prophylactic antibiotics, find a new doctor. That's not medically sound. There needs to be symptoms, a positive test or a rash (one if those, not all 3). The tests are not accurate and should not be relied upon alone. Check it everyday for a rash. IIRC, it took mine 7 or 14 days to show up. [/quote] You're wrong, it's smart to use an antibiotic following the removal of a deer tick. We have problem with ticks in our neighborhood and the majority of us have gotten Lyme, including the kids, and it is something our doctors won't mess with. Funny thing is I will do all I can to avoid antibiotics but I've had Lyme, twice, and I don't want to go through that again. [/quote]
