Thank you for raising awareness of Tick borne diseases. Currently the level of doctor knowledge is poor - little is taught about this emerging disease. Public Health England work closely with charity Lyme Disease Action. LDA have support for clinicians and patients on their website. In fact they recently produced an e learning module for doctors with The Royal College of General Practitioners 

For humans who suspect they could have been infected by a tick it is worth looking at LDA website and maybe contact the support line before discussing with your doctor so that you can make the most of your consultation.

The science is still emerging about many Tick borne diseases - in the case of Lyme Disease research done by the James Lind Alliance overseen by Dept of Health and PHE found that we still don't know the best treatment or the optimum length of treatment - we need to have open minds. 

Hopefully this excellent project will help to provide some answers.
