    I don't want to scare you but you should get a blood test for the baby immediately... don't wait . You are correct to be concerned . Lyme is the most misunderstood disease in America today.
    I know someone who has it. It doesn't go away easy if at all.If the baby was an adult I'd suggest you demand that the doctor begin an antibiotic regimin... But I am not familiar with how babies are treated .

    Don't wait for a rash or other symptoms to develop . Get that blood test now !

    Choose a doctor who has knowledge of the disease. Too many rely on the ridiculous things the CDC says about it . It is not to be trifled with .It is an insidious disease .

    Ps... next time keep the ticks... it could help in a diagnostic.
