Call your pediatrician. Ticks may carry disease such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or Lyme's Disease. Call your pediatrician if your child becomes ill after a tick bite. If you find a tick imbedded in the skin and you're inexperienced at removing them, call your doctor. If your child is stung and the stinger is still present, remove it.
