Several things can happen after being bitten by an infected tick. • The body’s defence mechanisms can overwhelm and eliminate the infecting bacteria. • The bacteria can remain localised at the site of the bite and cause a localised skin infection. • The bacteria may disseminate via the blood and lymphatic system to other organs and cause a multisystem inflammatory disease.
