Exclamation Lyme Disease

Anybody get bitten by a deer tick?
I found a small tick dug into my leg tonight I yanked it out head & all I tossed his ass in a bag for future showing.
I now have a small red dot where the little bastard was,how long will I know if this guy was infected meaning will I get the bulls eye in a short time or what if the dot goes away come morning, I am ok?

I am no hypochondriac by any stretch I guess my question is there a time frame this can be treated before one get's Lyme disease?I understand not all deer ticks carry/are infected with Lyme disease or should I just stay ahead of the curve & go to the doc's for an opinion.
Many thank's in advance.


Bob
