I'm stuck inside for two weeks. Three deer ticks on me from one day, two of them gave me a bullseye. So I'm on doxycycline and banned from sun exposure (I'm already pale).
No fun. Growing up at the end of the road in northern Minnesota, I still remember our nightly tick-checks. (Strip down completely while Mom checks every square inch of our bodies.)
I've never had a reaction to a tick bite so I don't know what that's like.
In terms of the antibiotic, it's better to be safe than sorry. From literature, I know Lyme disease is unpleasant and dangerous.
On the other hand, being pale is a sign of beauty and wealth in some cultures ... ;-p
