What Is Tick Bite?
A tick bite occurs when a tick attaches itself to the skin and feeds on blood. The vast majority of bites do no harm, but a few ticks can pass on disease.
Why Tick Bite Happens
They live in tall grass, undergrowth and forest and latch on as you pass. Hiking, camping and picnics increase the chance.
Care and Treatment for Tick Bite
The doctor can advise on correct tick removal, check for signs of infection and decide whether you need tests or treatment. Fever, headache or muscle aches after a tick bite should be assessed promptly. Treatment can involve correct tick removal and, if signs of infection appear, antibiotics.
- Note the date of the bite and check your skin over the following weeks
- Clean the area with soap and water
- Remove the tick promptly with fine-tipped tweezers close to the skin, pulling straight up
