Panic ahead of time is not worth it.You can call the sanitary-epidemiological service, get information about the epidemiological situation in the area, the village. The probability of infection is there, but, if not registered cases, it remains at a minimum level.

For full confidence in the absence of infection, the body of the extracted tick should be placed in a jar, where a wet cotton wool is placed at the bottom, carried to the laboratory. A few days later, experts will make a verdict - a contagious tick or not. Otherwise, you can find out about the presence of the disease within 14-30 days. That is how long the incubation period.
