I don't know Em, maybe there's somebody else on the Forum that knows more than me. The doc told my wife that if she'd come in as soon as the rash appeared then they could have prescribed lower doses of antibiotics, but once the rash has been there a while then it needs heavy duty treatment, and that's not even guaranteed to work.

I think that I'd wait to see if any symptoms develop, but the next time I come back from a run with a tick I'm not sure that I'll have the courage to wait.
