Allergic Reaction

Tick Bite Allergy

Tick bite allergy is a reaction that may be mild, with a few annoying symptoms. In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis may occur. Many of the diseases ticks carry cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and muscle aches.
Do not forcibly remove the tick. In a tick allergic person, the tick should be killed and removed in a hospital emergency department.
