    A dermatologist told me that lyme disease takes 6 hours to contract from a tick. Was the tick fully engorged when you pulled it out? Meaning was it big, fat, and grey? If so then you should definetly get tested. If possible bring the tick with you so they can test it for lymes. I wouldn't be too concerned.
