Oh there are some scary looking animals around that can give quite a horrible bite or sting, but unless someone suffers an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis, may not even require medical assistance. Usually Ticks, wasps, ants, scorpions & centipedes can cause immediate and intense local pain around the bite or sting area, as well as localized redness and swelling.
If bites or stings occur around the face or neck area even if they are not allergic to the animal, this can cause difficulty breathing and require immediate first aid and medical attention.
If they experience symptoms after the tick is removed it is best to seem medical assistance.
Here is a tick alert brochure you might like to take a look at. www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/Publications/tick_alert_brochure.pdf
