I picked up a deer tick hiking in the woods between 3:30-5:30pm on Thursday 4/14/11 (only time outdoors) and discovered it attached to my right leg on Monday 4/18/11 at noontime -- approximately 90 hours. I botched it's removal, clipping off about 7% of its rear and a leg, of this 2mm nymph sized deer tick, then successfully detached it 30 seconds later. I'm looking to start immediate Doxycycline treatment. Can you lead me to a good LLMD in the Philadelphia PA area?

You need to go to a walk clinic ASAP!!! You do not have time to wait for an appointment with an LLMD. It could take weeks or months for a good one.
I'll send you some names, but please go to your doctor or a clinic right away!!!!
IF you get a rash, take a pic of it!!
Please read in Medical Questions for great information and help:
