Babesia infects red blood cells, which carry oxygen. Oxygen deprivation can cause headaches. Simple, no?
Not to say that no other tickborne disease can cause headaches too, by some other mechanism.

Babesia causes low oxygen because it detroys red blood cells, causing anemia.
Hypercoagulation causes low oxygen because the fibrin narrows the capillaries, and the red cells cannot pass though in single file as quickly as they should.
People with continuous headaches should look into hypercoagulation. Symptoms include headache, pain, and fatigue, along with digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome.
I was having severe continuous headaches for years before I finally got some relief with systemic enzymes, specifically Wobenzym.
Systemic enzymes reduce fibrin in the blood. The blood cells flow better through the capillaries and the body's cells can get more oxygen. More oxygen means the mitochondria in the cells can do their jobs and make energy.
As far as I know, I don't have Babesia, although I have always been "almost" anemic and had problems with fatigue.
