> Do not try to self medicate or take prophylactic antibiotics unless specifically requested by a physician or you get a rash a few days after.
It was requested by my physician, I did not request them nor did I insist on being prescribed anything.
> You are likely to be absolutely fine. Living in an area where Lyme disease is common, I've had it a few times and it is treatable with antibiotics.
It is still a gamble on whether you will have clear enough symptoms in the short term to prompt an antibiotic treatment. Unfortunately unless you get the bullseye rash it's often not that clear that symptoms that appear much later are related to the tick bite.
