See a Dr. ASAP: Ticks can cause a variety of infections including African tick-bite fever, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Rickettsiosis, and relapsing fever. These can be serious and require treatment with antibiotics ASAP; the sooner you treat the better your response so please see a doctor today for assessment and treatment.
