Where this comes from

Abstract

Tick paralysis is a preventable cause of morbidity and death that, when diagnosed promptly, requires a simple low-cost intervention. The key to success is to consider tick paralysis in the differential diagnosis of ascending weakness, particularly in children, in geographic areas where this disease predominates.
