I would presume, you had ticks from a previous encounter as well.
In order to get Lyme, you typically need to have a tick embedded for > 24 hours (meaning a really low probability otherwise). And Bullseye rashes don't occur until a few days after the infection of the bacteria.
- somesortofsystm 7y agoNo, I don't think thats an appropriate conclusion to make. Tick embedded >24 hours: not necessarily true per my medical examiners - two independent specialists, as I live in an area with high Lyme rates and wanted a second opinion - as should anyone with doubts about it, and as to the second point, maybe its more correct that I didn't observe the bullseye rash until the next days, but either way multiple tests confirmed Lyme antibodies in the days and weeks following, whereas prior test (wasn't my first attack) didn't .. Either way, don't lay down in a field where deers and rabbits live, in the middle of a warm, sweaty summer.
