The symptoms can include:

Some people get flu-like symptoms about a week after being bitten, such as:

  • A high temperature
  • Tiredness
  • A headache
  • Aches and pains
  • Feeling sick
  • A stiff neck and a severe headache
  • Pain when looking at bright lights
  • A fit (seizure)
  • A change in behaviour, confusion or slurred speech
  • Weakness or loss of movement in part of the body
To minimise your risk of being bitten by a tick when you’re outside:
  • Regularly check your clothes and skin for ticks that might be crawling on you and brush them off before they can bite you – wear light coloured clothing so it’s easier to spot any ticks
  • Walk on clearly defined paths to avoid brushing against plants that may have ticks on them
  • Use an insect repellent such as DEET on your skin – you can also get clothes that contain insect repellent
  • Check yourself for ticks: After spending time outdoors, check yourself and your clothing for ticks. Pay special attention to areas where ticks like to hide, such as behind the ears, under the arms, and in the groin area.
  • Get Vaccinated
