Ticks are tiny insects that carry Lyme disease, which can be extremely harmful to humans and animals. People who receive tick bites usually receive such bites from hiking, camping, or being outdoors for extended periods of times and interacting with deer and other woodland animals. Symptoms from a tick bite and Lyme disease can include chronic fatigue, flu-like symptoms, and a bulls-eye rash. If a tick bites you, it is very important to have it removed immediately and completely. Otherwise, it can have dangerous consequences for your health. Most treatments will include a tetanus shot and prescribed medication to treat Lyme disease.
