Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 It can matter as you can be reinfected with Lyme or other nasties. I would call your Dr and see if the abx you are on covers a new infection. Chances are the tick carried nothing, but better safe then sorry. [ ] Uh oh!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Sure it matters, it makes the bacteria that much stronger. Not to mention it could very well be a different strain then what is in your body. Did you send the tick in for testing?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 No. Like an idiot I figured well, here we go again - and tossed it in the trash. I see my doc tomorrow though, so I'll ask him about it. Tnanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
