(I remain symptom-free; either the tick didn't have Lyme disease, didn't transfer it to me, or my immune system managed to destroy it.)

... or you're one of the many people who get Lyme disease without presenting the typical symptoms the first time round. I know someone whose entire family has it and not one of them ever got the typical rash (and if you get that rash, there's really no missing it).

I'm aware that the emblematic rash isn't always present, but I was referring to all the symptoms on that list, not just the rash. I imagine the family in question had some of the other symptoms.
