Why are you saving it? I like to burn them with a lighter. They make a popping sound and you know certain they're donezo

I brought it to the clinic in case they wanted to send it for testing. They didn't. Said I could if I was curious.

They gave me two large doxycycline pills and said since the tick wasn't on me for 48 hours, the odds of transmission were very low. The doxy was precautionary. Said I could come back in six week for a blood test to see if I had Lyme exposure but in the meantime watch for flu-like symptoms.
