Peppermint oil to detour ticks? Yes or no?
Peppermint oil may act as a deterrent to keep ticks from attaching, but once they have attached it is not recommended to put peppermint oil on the tick to make the tick back out as this may cause the tick to vomit into your blood stream.

I have frozen the tick in a zip lock bag, should I get it (or me) tested for Lyme disease?
if so where would I go?

www,igenex.com to get accurate testing and then go on Lyme advocate forums and ask somebody who has Lyme. You can pm me for names of people in BC and Alberta who treat Lyme and who have resources to help you.
