When doing my own paranoid research after being bit by what was definitely a deer tick I came across an interesting CDC survey of feeding ticks that were taken off a human:
In 2009, up to 37% were carrying lyme disease. This doesn't include the other pathogens ticks can give humans.
New CDC Study: Percentage of Ticks with Lyme
For $2 in antibiotics, I preferred not to roll the dice on a 1 out of 3 shot. Especially since the lyme risk map I posted a while back has MA in the "hottest" zone.
