Most tick bites in the US are from various species of Ixodidae, which attach and feed for several days if not removed. Disease transmission is the main concern and becomes more likely if ticks are attached for a longer duration. (See also Lyme Disease, see Overview of Rickettsial and Related Infections, and see Babesiosis.)
Tick bites most often occur in spring and summer and are painless. The vast majority are uncomplicated and do not transmit disease. However, they often cause a red papule at the bite site and may induce hypersensitivity or granulomatous foreign body reactions. The bites of Ornithodoros coriaceus ticks (pajaroello) cause local vesiculation, pustulation with rupture, ulceration, and eschar, with varying degrees of local swelling and pain. Similar reactions have resulted from bites of other ticks.
