    My 3 year old was bitten by a tick. Should I take him to the ER?
    He was bitten by a Dog tick which is a common carrier for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, I was able to remove it just fine and preserve it in rubbing alcohol. Should I take him to the ER to start a precautionary dose of antibiotics?
