After effects of Paralysis and Numbness missing
What appears to be needed to complete this great article is a more extensive description of the the how long the symptoms persist after removal. There is a mention of that envenoming may continue to be effective for up to 24 to 48 hours after removal, however if significant numbness is present (in humans this is a common symptom that can result in the localised area being completely without feeling; the size of the are depending on the amount of time the tick has been attached).

We should aim to understand how long these symptoms will continue to last or are they indeed permanent.

Further it is known that the paralysis tick often attaches itself behind the victims ear. Now is it coincidence that the numbness inflicted by the tick at this location is almost identical to the effect of damaging the lesser occipital nerve. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adel314 (talk • contribs) 13:03, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Not True
"... patients with suspected Lyme-like Disease should be treated with an appropriate course of antibiotics because early treatment of Lyme Disease invariably results in a complete cure."

As one with ongoing difficulties from a Lyme-like disease, yes, begin treatment as soon as you possibly can; no, a complete cure is not the invariable outcome.

There is much disagreement of ongoing symptoms and the identification of proper treatments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:183:4400:3600:299D:58A:CCC2:BD2B (talk) 18:45, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

not paralysis tick
The pictured tick does not appear to be a paralysis tick. It's too dark and the mouth is too short, and the legs are not colour-patterned correctly. I see this tick lower down wallabies on their back and in possum ears. It's softer than a p-tick, but it seems to be irritating. I cannot find the name of it. I have seen millions of ticks, because I've preened my pet wallabies for 20 years, and indeed myself. However, since the top of the tick is not visible, I'm not confident enough to call it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.186.225.250 (talk) 05:03, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
