Oh Good! Then nothing to fear! New research is emerging that suggests lyme disease no longer comes from JUST deer ticks, even mosquitos may be possible. If some joint swells up on you, oddly, in the future that you in way injured or overworked... then don't delay, tell your doc you were bitten by whatever type of tick you thought it was, then explain that months later, this or that particular joint swelled up. I waited a bunch of weeks listening to docs who told me that it was just 'overworked' until I finally went to see an orthopedic guy who said, "looks like lyme disease to me," and immediately ordered a blood test. If you go around for weeks at a time with a joint swollen up, it will stretch out and stay that way. Just something to keep in mind. Best of luck to you.
