	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Tick paralysis
		Hard- and soft-bodied female ticks are thought to produce a neurotoxin capable of causing paralysis in children.
		The resulting paralysis is ascending (starting in the lower body and moving up) and is similar to that seen in Guillain-Barre syndrome and opposite that seen in botulism and paralytic shellfish poisoning (descending).
		Paralysis may cause loss of respiratory ability and the patient may require a ventilator.

	The Ultimate Tick-borne disease Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		Tick-borne diseases are diseases or illnesses transmitted by ticks.
		As the incidence of tick-borne illnesses increases and the geographic areas in which they are found expand, it becomes increasingly important that health professionals be able to distinguish the diverse, and often overlapping, clinical presentations of these diseases.
		Because ticks can harbor more than one disease-causing agent, patients can be infected with more than one pathogen at the same time, compounding the difficulty in diagnosis and treatment.
