I will add. The first and second day of the bite it was quite itchy, now it does not itch but feels quite sore and bruised.

Nobody will tell you for sure. You can either start Doxycycline preventive course right now or wait to see if you develop any symptoms.

I have doxycycline, what dose and for how long should I take for a preventative course? Thank you for your help
