10 Causes of Purpura
Cause #10: Tick Bites
Tick bites are unpleasant in the best of times. A tick-related illness, also known as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, can cause unpleasant symptoms. Some of these symptoms include stiffness of the neck, headaches, nausea, weakness, and joint pain. Tick bites have been known to cause full body rashes or red spots that are similar to those seen in people suffering from ITP.
If you experience an acute infection from a tick bite then you may want to use antibiotics to help ease the symptoms. Talk to your doctor before proceeding.
