[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 37629, member: 8395"] If you are bitten... "Get a single shot of doxycyline within 72 hours of the bite to prevent Lymes" This is what I am now being told by my local medical foundation one month after reporting to them that I had discovered a deeply embedded tick. Too bad they waited almost a month to advise me of this. My doc who is part of the foundation merely suggested that I come in to have the head surgically removed. He failed to mention the importance of taking the antibiotic within 72 hours. On the day of discovery in mid March I reviewed the literature on line. I do not recall reading about any such "72hr window" for early treatment. Lymes is not the only disease to consider after a tick bite. Here is a summary of tick-borne diseases, diagnose and treatment; [url]http://www.cdc.gov/lyme/resources/TickborneDiseases.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
