Red spots are normal for tick bites, when I get bit real good i have red spots for months after!. The best thing to do when you have a tick is to remove it and burn it or flush it down a toilet (the trash is NOT a good idea, especially if you have pets)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with the previous answerer, ticks don't usually bite!. I wouldn't be worried unless you developed a "bullseye" effect from both of the two bite areas, as this may be Lyme disease from a Deer Tick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
