Did you know that each tick species has a long list of diseases that are associated with it? Some of these diseases that are easily spread by these ticks include the Heartland virus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), Lyme disease, tularemia, and ehrlichiosis. If you want to protect your loved ones while keeping your house tick-free, hire professional pest control in Boynton Beach.
It’s best to perform routine checks for ticks to ensure your family’s safety as well as your pets. The symptoms of a tick bite are difficult to diagnose and treat because the diseases that ticks may cause share similar symptoms with many illnesses.
In fact, a person whohas Lyme disease could exhibit the same symptoms as someone who has M.S., A.L.S.,fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Chronic FatigueSyndrome.
The good news is thatthese diseases can be prevented if you know how to quickly and properlyidentify and remove them. For example, it takes about 24 to 48 hours for thebacterium that causes Lyme disease to transfer from tick to human.
If you spot a tick on you, never try to pull it off or pinch it even if you want to. When you squeeze the tick, you’ll run the risk of injecting the bacteria-causing organisms into your wound. It’s best to use a pair of needle-nosed tweezers or any tick removal tool to pinch the tick as close to its head as possible before you pull it down and away from your skin.
