i'd say no
because if if your daughter did contract lyme disease
it wouldn't show up in her blood via a blood scan for two weeks.
the sore if fresh would just be a red spot and if taken out soon enough it should reduce size from a dime to a eraser size red spot. and then fade away.
we take a tick off one another almost twice a week and my wife had one on her belly embedded just this week so i have personally watched many many bites and have seen the pattern repeatedly.
I had been bitten so many times that i finally got paranoid and decided
i must have Lyme disease by now... got blood work done and was told "NOPE" no lyme disease and i was shocked.
you need to tell your daughter that they are like flat ants that withdraw blood like a mosquito does and minimize her hysteria.
as far as her medical treatment a bandaid with some neosporin
on it is a good idea or cleaning the red spot with peroxide before applying the bandaid - round ones are cool and tend to stay on.
then just watch it.... good hygene as far as de ticking your self
imediately after being outside is the only safe way to deal with it.
that means a quick change of clothes, a shower and a skin check on the persons back side too. then you feel tick free, clean, and refreshed. if you don't do this you'll be sitting there with one crawling out from your sleaves onto your hand or worse.
..... diggin in.
