摘要
Ticks are ectoparasites which can't fly or jump, and feed by sucking the blood of animals and also incidentally humans. Tick-borne diseases are seen worldwide and have increasingly become a major problem. The number of diseases transmitted by ticks are considerably high and most of these exist in our country. External auditory canal tick bite is quite a rare condition. In this article, we reported a case of a tick-bite in external auditory canal and aimed to emphasize the importance of careful physical examination of especially rare contact areas of the body in endemic areas for tick-borne diseases.
