I'm reading it's not common in the southeast. I'm going to keep an eye on the spots and see if they get worse

How did you remove them? Did you make sure to get the head completely out of the skin?

just pull the ticks off and keep them...if you get a rash at the bite site or fever, go to the emergency room where they can treat you....don't wait, as lyme disease gets a lot more difficult to treat if ignored for a while...

ETA: I had a tick on my scrote a while back, and can tell you that they leave one hell of an itchy bite that lasts for a while...

You should be more worried about what your s/o has.

I got Lyme about 8 years ago from two small ticks. Got them while working around Merdian. Took about 4 weeks for it to show up. The next 2 months was a mother fricker.

ETA:

Your immune system goes HAM on your body. But Lyme is not the worst. Apparently, there's a hoofed allergy that is caused by a tick bite. You get it and no more beef for you.

If you don't pull 5 ticks off yourself a year, you need to get outside more.
