tick paralysis symptoms

tick paralysis is a rare reaction to the venom that some ticks release when they bite. symptoms usually start 4 to 7 days after a tick attaches to your body and may include:

  • tingling, numbness, or loss of feeling or movement that starts in your hands or feet.
  • trouble swallowing or talking.
  • double vision.
  • loss of movement in your face.

removing the tick stops the release of the venom and reverses the problem.
