Powassan virus?!

Okay maybe I’m freaking out a little.. about two weeks ago I found a tick on my back and removed it. Had to have been there 24 hours as it left a scab. I then heard of this Powassan virus that causes brain swelling from ticks. For the past two days I’ve had a headache and have felt light headed. I do have anxiety at the moment but I’m like freaking out that this is that weird virus from that damn tick. Anyone know anything about it?!
