OT: Lyme people, need help - tick bite

[Guest guest]

My brother, age 55, was bitten by a tick yesterday, Thanksgiving morning. He

was able to remove it - & kept the tick in case it's needed to determine

anything. The bite is on the back of his shoulder and there's a red circle

about 3/8 inch in diameter and a black hole about the size of a pin head in the

center. He is in deer country (he's a deer hunter) & it's deer season.

Does anyone know if there's anything he can do now to prevent getting Lyme

disease? Please respond to me privately so as not to clutter the LDN list.

Thank you.
