I think I got it when I walked to my sister's garden. It was so tiny it looked like a spec of dirt. I have it in a medicine bottle. It's so small you can barely tell its a tick. How could I have it identified? University cooperative extenstion? will it cost me an arm and a leg? It was probably on me for 4 or 5 hours. It was not engourged.

Since you are being treated, you don't have to worry about it according to my lyme doctor. You are covered.

Thanks. I was worried because I'm not being treated for some of the other co-infections. I guess there isn't much to do at this point. I'm already struggling with the meds I'm on. Damn ticks!

I had dug an embedded tick out of my toe about a month or so ago and have felt like I've been getting my butt kicked ever since then. I would think if you are currently being treated that you would be fine. Hope it works out for you.
