If the tick attached, some irritation at the spot after you remove it is normal. With both dog ticks and deer ticks.

Don't rely on the bulls-eye. It doesn't occur in a good number of cases where Lyme disease has been transmitted.

There's no reason a doctor can't start you on antibiotics right now--don't wait. They can also have the tick sent to a lab for it to be analyzed.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
