A member asked:
I am experiencing tick bite so what is a normal reaction to a tick bite and what does it look like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tick Bite: Hopefully, there won't be any significant reaction. I stumbled along this site which I found helpful: http://www.tickbites.net/what-do-tick-bites-look-like-tick-bite-pictures/. It you have a bull's eye lesion, or there appears to be infection (enlarging area of redness, warmth, pain, swelling, red streaking or fever with purulent drainage) - then that is a problem.
