Like Karl said, bulls eye rash only shows about 50% of the time.
My wife had Lyme's 3 times and fortunate to have the rash each time. She was treated by an Infectious Disease specialist within a week each time and put on a regime of antibiotics. Got it in time.

My daughter was not so lucky, didn't know she was bitten, no rash, and was finally diagnosed with it, but still has problems after 5 years.

Nothing to fool with or take a chance.
