Key takeaways
Write it down promptly
Include the activity, habitat and whether other people or animals were exposed. If the tick was photographed, include a scale but do not delay removal to obtain an image.
Keep the record factual
Avoid labelling the species or infection unless confirmed. Share the timeline with a clinician or veterinarian if illness develops.
