Tick Bite On Neck Leaves Woman Paralyzed, Lyme Disease Diagnosed

A 43-year-old mother was left paralyzed after a tick bit her while she was in her garden. Rachel Foulkes-Davies was unable to speak and forced to eat through a straw. A few days after being bitten by the tick, Foulkes-Davies' lip turned numb and her face started to droop. Doctors initially diagnosed her with Bell's palsy and gave her a course of steroids. But despite the medication, the mother-of-three did not recover.
