Simon, 32, presents with a 24-hour history of an itchy red weal on the torso (pictured). He is otherwise well, with no systemic symptoms.
He went bushwalking on the weekend in a national park in a tick-endemic region on the east coast. Simon has previously sustained a number of tick bites and has usually removed the tick himself with fine tweezers.
