Lyme isn’t the only dangerous pathogen transmitted through tick bites. I was pretty sick for two weeks after a tick bite a few years back. It wasn’t Lyme but doc said it was a pretty rare bacteria almost always caused by a tick.

When I got Lyme disease a few years back from a tick bite, my doctor said the same thing...many types of bacteria are carried/transmitted by ticks. I saw the Doctor about 5 days after the tick bite when the classic "bulls eye" rash appeared. I said "Well, as long as it isn't Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever..." He replied: "We know it's not that because if it was you'd be dead by now."

Thanks for all the information about this!
