Best Answer

A tick bite in itself cannot kill you. What the tick might be carrying can, though. If the tick is carrying a deadly or potentially deadly disease, then technically, a tick bite could kill you.

(separate person)...

ticks may borough deep into the skin, so much so that it can look like a skin mark or a simple mole. my brother found one on his upper back today, and a PRETTY DECENT size, too. it embedded itself so far into the skin that only the upper back of the tick was showing as a zit sized skin mark, no legs visible. we got tweezers, band-aids, cotton, alcohol, a magnifier and a locking empty pill container. *note: TICKS CAN LIVE IN RUBBING ALCOHOL! , also the American dog tick and deer tick get confused even by pros, so don't freak if it looks like a deer tick.
