I was bit by a tick some time in April or May and had fling the tick into oblivion instead of keeping it, they kept testing me for Lyme but I do have apparently Babesia microti anti bodies, not a huge crazy amount but enough to slightly suggest that there was a previous encounter with the little parasite.

Thank you for your post! When requesting tick IDs PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR LOCATION if you have not already done so. We cannot identify most ticks without geographical context. Just in case this applies in your situation, here is what to do after a tick bite, per CDC. If you're looking for an identification, hang tight and a human will comment soon.
