Tick bite explained
A tick bite happens when a tick attaches to the skin and feeds on blood. The vast majority of bites do no harm, but a few ticks can pass on disease.

They live in tall grass, undergrowth and forest and latch on as you pass. Walks, camping trips and picnics raise exposure.
Typical symptoms
- A tiny tick attached to the skin
- A small red area around the bite
- A spreading rash
- Mild itching or soreness
- Fever, headache or aching muscles in the days after
