Run to the GP, tell them what happened and get your preventative antibiotic Doxycline!!!! Or whatever it that they give - This coming from someone whose right knee blew up double size, two times due to lyme disease. It's not fun. I never even saw a tick nor did I ever see a bulleye.. showed up in the blood test though...
