You ought to monitor yourself up to 30 days for signs and symptoms of tick-borne diseases such as the occurrence of a skin lesion at the site of the tick bite (which may suggest Lyme disease) or a fever (which may <em>suggest </em>human granulocytic ehrlichiosis [HGE] or babesiosis). Remember also that, just like any skin lesion, a wound can become infected by a secondary pathogen such as Staph aureus and Group A strep., especially if there are still tick parts within the lesion. If you have any further questions online I'd go to the eMedicine article on tick removal and read under "complications" down at the bottom. If you have anything that causes suspicion, then contact your doctor. Steph Hi Johnson,
