What to do after a tick bite to prevent Lyme disease

Found a deer tick this year, was not sure how long it was attached. For peace of mind its not a bad treatment to take the doxycyclene. Especially if you know that tick has been feeding. 2 weeks later you can get a lyme disease test. After speaking with a cousin who found it "late" its worth it to prevent it early.
