Resumen:
The impact of tick bites during holidays in tropical countries is seldom reported. Here, we describelong-term skin alterations and itching experienced by a German tourist following the bite of a nymph ofDermacentor auratus Supino, 1897 in Cambodia. Tick infestation may be neglected by travelers. Therefore,careful travel history is necessary when travelers report a tick bite after spending holiday in tropical andsubtropical countries.
