Just get some oral doxycycline.

If it were me, I would declare it as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, just to avoid the bitch arse association with Lyme Disease. RMSF sounds rugged. Lyme sounds like fibromyalgia.

Wife got RMSF from a tick bite 9 years ago. Unfortunately it took about a month before it was correctly diagnosed.

Symptoms of RMSF and Lymes are actually pretty similar, especially the neuropathic ones - but her infectious disease specialist told her she should be thankful it wasn’t Lymes, because they tend to be permanent.

Took her awhile to fully recover. Better get it checked out soon.
