Yes: There are a number of infections transmitted by tick bites. The organisms depend on your geographical location. Consult your doctor to ascertain if you need prophylactic antibiotic treatment. Wish you good health!

See GP: Keep an eye on the rash and have a scheduled visit with your GP in few days to assess for symptoms and the status of the rash. Treatment may be needed depending also on tick borne disease activity in the area.
