There is a syndrome (not uncommon in the US) called tick paralysis. Symptoms reside quickly when the tick is removed. Otherwise it can proceed to death... Dr. Kenney

This fellow was traveling with a woman who was not ill, which gave at least some clue that his problem was not from food or water ingested. Bit of a long story. . . . He largely recovered, but his affliction evidently mystified the doctors for some time. He was a profoundly sick man. Maybe the ticks in Germany are more virulent? I know little about this topic.
