What Is Tick Bite?
Ticks cling to the skin and feed on blood. Most bites are harmless, but some ticks can pass on infections.
Why Tick Bite Happens
They live in tall grass, undergrowth and forest and latch on as you pass. Hiking, camping and picnics increase the risk.
How Tick Bite Feels
- A spreading rash
- A tiny tick attached to the skin
- A small red area around the bite
How Tick Bite Is Treated
The doctor explains how to remove a tick correctly, checks for signs of infection and decides whether tests or treatment are needed. Fever, headache or muscle ache after a tick bite should be looked at promptly. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest correct tick removal and, if signs of infection appear, antibiotics.

- Note the date of the bite and check your skin over the following weeks
