Tick bite: There are several infections possible from a tick bite. Most are concerned about lyme disease. Small chance of infection if you removed the tick within 48 hours of attachment. The typical sign is the reddish spot where the tick was surrounded by a larger red ring that usually is very much larger than a nickle. See doctor if you have fever with headache and muscle and joint pains.
