Are you wondering if that tick bite should be treated?

Statement on the ILADS website, at http://www.ilads.org/lyme/lyme-tips.php :
 
"WAIT AND SEE" APPROACH TO TREATMENT MAY BE RISKY
Up to fifty percent of ticks in Lyme-endemic areas are infected with Lyme or other tick-borne diseases. With odds like that, if you have proof or a high suspicion that you've been bitten by a tick, taking a "wait and see" approach to deciding whether to treat the disease has risks. The onset of Lyme disease symptoms can be easily overlooked or mistaken for other illnesses. Once symptoms are more evident the disease may have already entered the central nervous system, and could be hard to cure. This is one case in which an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure. - See more at: http://www.ilads.org/lyme/lyme-tips.php#sthash.PEyfTI2W.dpuf
