Chronic lyme patient here, been bit twice. The first time a deer tick was attached to me for roughly 6-8 hours. I got really sick.

Here's a couple pictures next to a ruler and a penny to show how tiny the tick was:

Any treatments you’ve found to help? It’s a disaster trying to find info online.
Doxycycline worked for my Lyme infection.
I have a local doctor in my area that specializes in Lyme care. Doxycycline, Minocycline, herbs, supplements, and sleep. I have also taken the path of acupuncture and medical cannabis for supplemental pain management. Overall I'm doing better now!
