🚨 Found This Strange Bug on My Son’s Leg After a Walk… The White Spot Freaked Me Out. Should I Be Worried?

If this happens to you, here’s what to do:

1. Check if it was attached.
   If it was simply crawling, that’s reassuring.

2. Inspect the skin.
   Look for redness, swelling, or a small bite mark.

3. Monitor for symptoms over the next 2 weeks, such as:

   • Fever

   • Fatigue

   • Headache

   • Muscle aches

   • A spreading rash

4. Save the tick if possible.
   Put it in a sealed bag or container in case a doctor needs to identify it.

🚨 When to Call a Doctor

Seek medical advice if your child develops:

• A fever

• A bullseye or expanding rash

• Unusual tiredness

• Flu-like symptoms

Most tick bites do not result in illness — but it’s always better to stay alert.
