Headache
A severe headache that doesn't go away might be a tick bite symptom. When the pain occurs with a fever, stiff neck and other signs of infection, schedule an immediate doctor's appointment. Treatment for Lyme disease is more successful the earlier it starts.
Always tell the medical professional if a tick bite is suspected following a walk in the woods or removing one from an unprotected area of the body.
