How to tell if i am infected by a tick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tick borne disease: There are a number of infections transmitted by ticks - the most famous of course is Lyme disease, which is marked by a ring-like rash greater than 5 cm in size (less than that could just mean a reaction to the tick bite). Lyme disease has other symptoms too like headache, fatigue, malaise (feeling wiped out) and a host of other symptoms. Best to check with an ID doctor if you have questions.
