📋Overview
Tick bites refer to the skin puncture wounds caused by ticks attaching to the skin to feed on blood. While the bite itself is usually minor, ticks can transmit various infectious diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and others. The term 'tick bites' describes the initial injury and potential vector for disease rather than a single medical condition. Management focuses on bite care and prevention or treatment of any transmitted infections.
