Same rules apply as above for antibiosis, but if you're in an endemic area, and unclear how long the tick's been attached, you can give a 1x prophylactic dose of doxy. Oh, and remove the tick!

- treatment is usually supportive with topical steroids.
- certain patterns can help with dx and may require different tx.
- Don't forget epidemiologic data when deciding on probability of certain disease processes!
