initial symptoms of tick bites early
Call your doctor if you develop any of these symptoms in the weeks following the tick bite: 1  Fever. 2  Body aches. 3  Tiredness. Nausea.  Neck 1  Stiffness. Joint 2  pain. New rashes in different areas of the  body.
Lyme disease can affect different body systems, such as the nervous system, joints, skin, and heart. Symptoms are often described as happening in three stages (although not everyone has all three): A circular rash at the site of the tick bite, usually within 1-2 weeks of infection, often is the first sign of infection. Although a rash is considered typical of Lyme disease, many people never develop one.
