About Tick Bite
A tick bite occurs when a tick attaches itself to the skin and feeds on blood. Most are harmless, though some ticks carry infections.
Common Triggers
Ticks live in long grass, scrub and woodland and attach as people or animals brush past. Walks, camping trips and picnics raise exposure.
How Tick Bite Is Treated
The doctor can advise on correct tick removal, check for signs of infection and decide whether you need tests or treatment. Any fever, headache or aching muscles after a bite need prompt review. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest correct tick removal and, if signs of infection appear, antibiotics.
