Tick paralysis is a rare reaction to the venom that some ticks release when they bite. Symptoms usually start 4 to 7 days after a tick attaches to your body and may include:

• Tingling, numbness, or loss of feeling or movement that starts in your hands or feet.
• Trouble swallowing or talking.
• Double vision.
• Loss of movement in your face.

Removing the tick stops the release of the venom and reverses the problem.
