Tick Paralysis in Children
Neurol 59:1088-1090, Vedanarayanan,V.V.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors report six patients with tick paralysis seen over 5 years. Clinical and electrodiagnostic findings failed to adequately distinguish tick paralysis from Guillain-BarrT syndrome in these patients. Finding a tick attached to the s calp or the nape of the neck and removing it resulted in rapid clinical improvement.
