Doxcycline ain't fun, thats why they don't just give it out. |

No antibiotic is fun, but except for possible photosensitivity, stomach upset,
monilia, and staining of the teeth in children as possible side effects, it's a pretty safe antibiotic proven over the years. Better than the long term affects of Lymes. |

I took a walk through one of my favorite pieces of deer woods this am which includes a small field. I must have pulled 2 dozen wood and deer ticks off my pants on the ride home!

I had one buried in me yesterday morning
got it out
small deer tick
I saved it, called doc today
I'll see him tom. afternoon, soonest I could get there
I thought they can test the thing so I'll know if it has Lyme. isn't that possible?

I thought the same thing for my daughter last summer when I pulled tick off of her, her doctor's office said they do not do anything with ticks, but I have heard others say they have had ticks tested. Might as well ask. |

Slip put the tick in a jar with an ant in it. If the ant eats the tick it didn't have lime disease. If it doesn't eat the tick it may be to full to eat.  |
