Bridgeport Tick Bite Treatment at AFC Urgent Care

Tick Bite Treatment in Bridgeport, CT

The months between April and September are the most active months for ticks, which is also a time where our urgent care center sees many cases of tick removal and tick-borne illnesses.  At AFC Urgent Care Bridgeport, we provide tick removal and tick bite treatment on a walk-in basis, so you never need an appointment to be seen by one of our physicians.
Between 3-30 days following the tick bite, some individuals experience tick-borne illness symptoms such as:

• Bull’s Eye Pattern Rash
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Swelling
• Stiffness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Dizziness

Our urgent care center can evaluate and treat your symptoms seven days a week with convenient night and weekend hours.   We also accept most major health insurances as well as provide low-cost care for those without.
You can reduce your risk of catching a tick-borne illness by:

• Avoiding wooded and bushy areas
• Wearing protective clothing for outdoor activities
• Conducing a full-body check upon returning indoors
• Showering after outdoor activities
