In the thread I posted previously the author said that for some reason dog ticks are attracted to the scent of female deer ticks so it could be that the deer tick went undetected if a dog tick was found at the bite. Anyway, the good doctor finally called me at home last night and said what was previously suggested, that if the bite doesn't get any bigger (he said bigger than an inch across) and there's no symproms like I experienced in my first bout, let it ride and don't wait too long, but once it's healed come in for the test just to make sure. So I guess this weekend I'll be defoliating the DMZ between my yard and woods with Agent Orange followed by a liberal coating of DDT.
