How would know if i have a tick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tick: You should find it on your body. Always inspect yourself after being in a tick infested area. If the tick is attached, it will engorge and can as big as a walnut. Feeding by the nymph form is harder to find since they are smaller. Some ticks, specifically the"soft" ticks that transmit relapsing fever in the southwest and western us, feed quickly and are rarely found on the body.
