Potentially, yes. Tick paralysis is loss of muscle function from a tick bite, usually a female tick, and primarily affects children. The tick attaches to feed on blood and during feeding toxins enter the child's bloodstream. The child will develop an unsteady gait due to weakness in the lower extremities. This weakness will eventually make it's way up into the abdomen and upper extremities. Flu like symptoms can develop and there can be breathing difficulties. Finding the tick and removing it will remove the source of the toxins and recovery from tick paralysis is fast.

Tick bites hurt a lot. Other bites tend to itch.

I found my tick & bite because it itched a lot. It is a tick bite if there is a tick on it although baby ticks can be as small as a piece of pepper. ICK!
