In areas where Lyme is rife, the common practice if there is a tick
bite from an unidentified tick is 24 prophylactic treatment with

This is insane. If you have a bulls eye then see a doc.

Since up to 40% of Lyme infections leave no tell-tale bull's eye,
that's dicey. And fewer that one in ten produce a classic bull's eye
rash. And stats show that only about 30% of those diagnosed with Lyme
even recall a rash. And the rash may not appear for a week or two. And
you need to add in those who are darker skinned and on whom the rash
would be difficult to discern and don't forget those who get their
rash in a place that isn't easy to see, such as the scalp or...shall I
go on?
Get a clue, sweetie. Try reading the *whole* post for content, instead
of freaking out about mention of a 24 dose of antibiotics.

Don't go outside stay indoors. You will die in time but most likely
of boredom.
