I would call the dr tomorrow and have her looked at.
That sounds like what Kylers looked like.
However, the doctor (and the on call doctor) told me that the rash takes between 3-21 days to show up.
Now... in the little bit of searching and research I did last night - it seem like you CAN get a rash or some swelling where the tick actually attaches itself. THAT, however, does NOT mean lyme disease.
What the hell is it with the ticks this year???
I hope she's ok... but I would take her to the doctor tomorrow if it's still swollen.
Oh... do you know what the on-call doctor also told me today? He said that the tick has to be attached to the host for 24 hours before the tick can start infecting the host.
Something about it takes a tick 24 hours to firmly attach itself. And it doesn't start "sucking the blood and sharing salvia" until after 24 hours. SO... if you find a tick and remove it within that time limit, even if the tick has Lyme Disease, she'll be fine.
