It is possible to get an infection from a tick bite, even though it did not penetrate the skin. The symptoms to watch for are fever and nausea. If this is the case, the patient should be seen by medical personnel as soon as possible.

Hickies can not get infected. Hickies are the result of ruptured capillaries in the skin, the spots that are seen are tiny bruises. Usually there are no breaks in the skin.

Note that skin to skin contact in any fashion could transmit things like staph infections and many others.
