It is in your best interests to go get tested for Lyme. I pulled a tick out of my legs this spring. Had a DRs appointment a couple days after this incident for other reasons. Informed the DR of the tick bite. He said it was slim to none chance of getting lyme. And to come back in 2 weeks to get tested. Went back a month later because of vacation and I was feeling terrible. Aches and pains, headaches, lathargic, etc. Tested positive for lyme. After a month worth of antibiotics, I feel a 100% better. But I'm pretty sure this is with me for life. Lyme can kill you and do some real damage. Get tested.
