Tick bite fever is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks. Symptoms of tick bite fever may include fever, headache, malaise and a skin rash which may resemble blisters.

See below : If you are referring to tick-borne relapsing fever (tbrf), then - no. Blisters are not associated with it as far as i can discern from then most recent reports.
