About tick bite
A tick bite happens when a tick attaches to the skin and feeds on blood. Most are harmless, though some ticks carry infections.

Ticks live in long grass, scrub and woodland and attach as people or animals brush past. Hiking, camping and picnics increase the risk.
Symptoms of tick bite
- A tiny tick attached to the skin

- A small red area around the bite
- Fever, headache or aching muscles in the days after
- Mild itching or soreness

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 ache after a tick bite should be looked at promptly. Options may include correct tick removal and, if signs of infection appear, antibiotics.
- Clean the area with soap and water
- Note the date of the bite and check your skin over the following weeks
