So stats quo.
This is interesting to me because I know of many situations where the doctors have immediately prescribed antibiotics. As Swimmer stated, it can take up to 10 days for lyme to show in the blood work. Doctors generally prefer to get a jump on it before then.

For the average person, antibiotics are harmless anyway.
