What Is Tick Bite?
A tick bite happens when a tick attaches to the skin and feeds on blood. Most bites are harmless, but some ticks can pass on infections.
Common Triggers

How Tick Bite Feels
- A small red area around the bite
- Mild itching or soreness
- A spreading rash
- Fever, headache or aching muscles in the days after
