Hi everyone

I came home from a walk and found crawling tics on my dog

I also have a bite which 10 hrs after walk has a white circle around it

Is this a Lyme disease tick bite? Please see image

Any advice greatly appreciated

There are goats where I walked on holiday in Spain

I’m sorry to hear about your bite. I would ask a doctor for 21-30 days of doxycycline. 30 days if you can stand it. The side effects are sometimes harsh, but it is worth it to treat Lyme. It is the most effective antibiotic for Lyme. Time is of the essence so talk to a doctor right away. Best wishes!

Yes it it harsh on my stomach, but it’s an antibiotic you may need

That’s about what I had on my forehead. Did not see any ticks on me. Please don’t wait. See Dr ASAP and explain. At least you have photo. Based on my experience, damage can occur until treatment-best wishes and solving it
