It could be off me or my dog, no way of knowing, neither of us have any clear 'tick bites', but that tick clearly bit someone.
It's one of the tiny ones.

Should I go to urgent care tomorrow and ask them for a round of doxy? Should I have the do a lyme test too?
Or just wait til I can get in with my lyme Dr? Which might not be right away. She will maybe write me prescription, but she's an LLND and I've never been on abx with her, just herbs. So I'm worried she won't.

I have had an increase in symptoms lately and have been meaning to make an appt. Though I don't know if I can blame the increase in symptoms on this tick.

Also, I've saved the tick and am going to send it in to get tested.

PDXtransplant - tough decision!


I wouldn't do a lyme test for yourself as it's too soon if it recently bit you for anything to show up.

But, yes, get the tick tested.

Call your LLND and see what she says.

Hope everything turns out ok and you didn't get a bite. keep an eye out for any rash, have someone check your scalp,hairline behind ears for bite site. Areas you cant see good.

Have them look but also feel for a tiny bump .
