Agreed. Due to the time it takes for Lyme to have outward signs of infection, the disease is already well on its way to possible nervous system damage.
Many doctors (mine included) immediately prescribe an antibiotic as a prophylactic after a tick bite. Just make sure you take every last pill as directed even if you don't show signs of sickness. Not finishing the bottle is asking for trouble.
