WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What is a tick bite?

A tick bite occurs when a tick, a small parasite, attaches itself to the skin and feeds on blood. Ticks are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas and can infect humans and animals with bacteria and viruses that can cause disease. While ticks can spread many diseases, a common disease associated with a tick bite is Lyme disease.

Common symptoms

Symptoms of a tick bite may include:

  • Color change or swelling at the site of the bite
  • Mild itching or discomfort
  • In some cases, a rash may develop around the bite site

Your answers will be submitted to a provider for review prior to your visit.
  3. 3. Video Visit & Provider Evaluation
