TICK-OUT TICKS-2-GO
A tick is a spider-like arthropod parasite. It feeds on the blood of animals and people. A tick can transmit viruses, bacteria, parasites and even poison while sucking blood. Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease, is the most well-known and dangerous bacterium that may be present in a tick. This disease can eventually lead to various health complaints. A red ring around the bite area may be one of the first symptoms of Lyme disease.
Ticks live in gardens, dunes, meadows and woodland. Be sure to check for ticks after spending time outdoors. To minimise the risk of infection, ensure that the tick is removed within eight hours. Do not anesthetize the tick with alcohol or other antiseptics and do not heat the tick with a cigarette or other hot objects. If the tick is stunned or heated (with a cigarette), it goes into shock and responds by releasing pathogens into the body through its saliva. A good tick remover will help prevent the tick from passing on harmful bacteria in its saliva.
Once the tick has been removed you can disinfect the area with alcohol. Make sure to write down the date of the tick bite, the site of the bite on your body, and the area where you contracted the tick bite.
If the tick has been attached to your skin longer than eight hours, it may already be engorged. Use the Care Plus Tick-Test to immediately determine whether the engorged tick possibly infected you with the Borrelia bacteria. If your tick test was positive, if you develop a red ring around the bite area, or if you’re feeling unwell, it is important that you seek treatment immediately.
ABOUT TICK-OUT TICKS-2-GO
Have you been out in the countryside? Check yourself and each other for tick bites! If you have been bitten, it is very important that the tick is removed in the correct manner. Do this as quickly as possible, in order to prevent becoming infected with the Borrelia bacterium (Lyme disease).
