Loss of appetite
The main symptoms - loss of appetite, presence of fever, enlarged lymph nodes, swelling or joint pain - may be associated with several diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain fever and ehrlichiosis. These symptoms can occur in the early stages of these diseases, when the body is under attack by bacteria carried by infected ticks. It is important to consult a doctor if you experience a persistent or significant loss of appetite, especially if you have been exposed to tick-infested areas.

Fever
The diseases listed above are transmitted by ticks and can cause systemic inflammation of the body, resulting in a rise in body temperature. It is essential to monitor fever closely and consult a doctor if it persists or if other related symptoms develop.
