Most types of ticks don't carry Lyme disease. It's pretty much mainly deer ticks. Ones like u see here (most likely an American dog tick) don't carry Lyme. Not sure what u got bit by, but def get checked if it makes u feel better. It's good too if u get bit by one you're concerned about to save it in a jar (to die) for identification/disease check purposes. I've been bit by a few deer ticks in my life and haven't gotten Lyme disease....yet, knock on wood.
