A young woman lost great chunks of her hair after being bitten by a tick, reports The Sun.
The 28-year-old initially noticed strands falling out around the site of the bite on the top of her head.
But one month later, her alopecia "rapidly spread" across the entire scalp.
She was left with thinning locks, bald patches, and yellow and black dots all over her head.
The unnamed patient, from Boston, Massachusetts, US, tried over-the-counter vitamins and steroid injections, but nothing seemed to help her hair grow back.
Eventually, she visited Boston University Medical Center, where she was given a Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT)
score of 52, putting her in the "severe" category.
The woman, who also had "well-controlled" polycystic ovary syndrome, began taking the steroid prednisone before moving to baricitinib, often used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, alopecia, and eczema.
After four months on the medication, she noticed "significant regrowth in all prior alopecic sites apart from the tick attachment site and the immediate surrounding area.”
While hair loss is a rare complication of tick bites, more cases are being recorded.
