Ticks are small spiderlike animals (arachnids) that bite to fasten themselves onto the skin and feed on blood.

Some people may have an allergic reaction to a tick bite. This reaction may be mild, with a few annoying symptoms. In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) may occur.

Many of the diseases ticks carry cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and muscle aches. Symptoms may begin from 1 day to 3 weeks after the tick bite. Sometimes a rash or sore appears along with the flu-like symptoms. Common tick-borne diseases include:

• Lyme disease.
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
• Tularemia.
• Ehrlichiosis.
• Relapsing fever.
• Colorado tick fever.
• Babesiosis

Tick paralysis is a rare problem that may occur after a tick bite. In some parts of the world, tick bites may cause other tick-borne diseases, such as South African tick-bite fever.
