Got to the clinic at 7:45, so had to wait for them to open. The CNP that saw me said my wife did a great job removing the tick...no parts found, but did prescribe doxycycline to prevent infection and maybe lyme. They do not perform the lyme test. She said it is only 50% accurate...false positives and negatives and like flipping a coin. I've probably had over 10 tick bites this year, more than mosquito bites or deerfly bites. I usually find ticks fast, but they can bite even faster. If I expect ticks, I'll most often use one of 3 repellants depending on what I'm doing. I dislike using them, though.
