The bite marks haven't turned into bulls eyes. How long does it take for them to do it? One of the bites is almost gone. If I go to hospital can they test me for Lyme now? Or does it take awhile before they are able to test it?

Relax, you will be fine. Although may want to check the "sack" for other signs of infestation. Lil fellows love it down there.

4 weeks. It's a strange bacteria. I would wait. The chances of those ticks carrying any disease is very low. If you feel sick, light headed, etc, then go.
ETA:
In terms of tick disease's, Lyme is not the main one to worry about. Rocky Mountain spotted fever will kill you.
