Are there lyme tests that are accurate in less than a month? I also got bit by a tick a couple days ago, but I just went to the doctor and got a doxycycline prophylaxis. I'll probably also send the tick in for analysis.
There's still a chance of having it even after the antibiotics. The chances of getting it even after taking a prophylaxis go down from around 3% to perhaps a little under 1%, but there's still a chance. And there are also other tick diseases that doxycycline doesn't work for. The most likely case is that mine was only attached for a little under 24 hours, which reduces the chances even further, but considering that if not treated right away it's basically as bad as AIDs it's still kind of alarming.
