It is really hard to say -- I think it depends a lot on how long between the bite and the first dose of meds. Also depends on the strain of lyme and if coinfections are an issue.
Personally I think it is a good sign that the person got the bullseye -- it means their immune system recognized the infection in my opinion.
If I was a betting person I would probably say the odds are about 50/50 the person will have no long lasting effects and got enough meds.
