Lyme disease, no symptoms?

I am a healthy 65 year old male. I play golf and basketball every day. Great stamina but I tested positive for Lyme disease. I have no symptoms. Should I be taking tetracycline to treat zero symptoms?

Thanks for the question.
Lyme disease can have a long latent period without symptoms followed by a tertiary phase with joint or neurological symptoms. If never treated, it should be treated.
