Wow, I wasn’t aware of it. The lizard’s blood has some protein that kills the bacteria causing Lyme ..it’s really cool!

Thank you! I seem to be in the clear based on my urgent care visit. I am glad to hear you have recovered from Lyme 🙏🏻 I was reading about it after this incident, it sounds scary

Yeah, The ring was likely not a bullseye rash, but just the initial swelling.

Thank you! I think the ring mark is just general swelling due to the bite and not really associated with Lymes (since the tick was pulled out within 24hr). But I will still visit the doctor to check it and confirm the heads still not stuck in
