Tick Bite?

Is this this a bite from a tick carrying Lyme's Disease? Noticed bite on Reed's arm Friday and it has blossomed since. We never saw what bit him. Kind of looks like the bite I rec'd before I was diagnosed with Lyme's...but I don't think I took any photos. This isn't a classical presentation of the bulls-eye sign but mine wasn't either. Reed's fever was up to 103˚F today...I had a fever after the bite and developed a bizarre rash on one side of my face. 

Reed will go to the Dr. tomorrow...but it takes a couple of weeks to get the antibodies they test for...more to come. I am not alarmed, BTW, we caught it early and Reed will be fine.
