Within 24 hours on the outside...48 would be pushing it but still better
than 3 days
..the sooner the better , of course.
Ran across an interesting factoid...they actually "glue" themselves in,
like superglue.

What would you consider "pretty quickly".
We figure she found it between 24 and 48 hrs after being bitten on the
inner thigh (looks like they always go for the tender spots)..

If you get the tick off pretty quick, there is little chance of any
problems.
I get tick bit about every 2 weeks and find one looking for a spot every
few days.
Do the tick search daily if not twice a day.
I'd never be OFF ABX if I assumed the worst every time.

Does she have a bulls-eye? I know this is an alternative list but in
this case I would consider a dose of the appropriate antibiotics if it were me.

Hi:
My wife, Jane, was bitten by a tick while visiting her mother on
Shelter Island, one of the Lyme capitals of the world.
Anybody out there with knowledge of what should be done immediately to
deal with the possibility (probability?) of infection with Lyme?
My understanding is that if you catch it early, it is easier to
eliminate, but doctors here in Vermont don't know much about dealing with Lyme.
There is actually too much information on the web, if you can believe
that, she wants an answer fast and my head is spinning with the many
Lyme articles I have already read, none of which were targeted at what
to do right away if bitten.
We were told here that you have to wait four weeks to test to see if
you have been exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme spirochete), and
then the test (not sure what test they are talking about) costs $200,
is NOT covered by Medicare or our health insurance, and may or may not
be reliable. Anybody know about that?
Thanks,
Del
