Neuromuscular paralysis caused by salivary proteins of ticks is a
well-known complication after tick bites in Australia, North America,
and South Africa. Symptoms may include general weakness, difficulty
walking, ascending paralysis, and bulbar paralysis with diplopia,
culminating in respiratory failure. In Europe, toxin-mediated paralysis
has rarely been noted. We report a case of cranial nerve paralysis with
delayed onset after a tick bite in northern Germany.
