How to prevent sting
Although ticks may be dangerous, this does not mean that people need to stop enjoying the open air.
“There are a number of things that we can do to help prevent a potential contraction of Lyme disease and prevention [a] According to Dr. Christopher Pazoli, emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic, we start clothes, make sure that clothes are tucked, good, suitable socks, pants, long pants, long sleeves, and then very self -self. “
Pazoli says tick is attracted to warm wet areas such as under the arms or behind the knees. When checking ticks, every inch, including one’s head, should be examined.
If you find a mark, Bazzoli recommends using and obtaining the two piles as soon as possible before the tick is pulled. If it does not come out clean, the compresses can be used to remove the rest.
“After we remove a mark, there is now a break in the skin, and like any other break in the skin, we need to be careful to prevent a secondary bacterial infection. Thus, washing that area with warm water and soap is really important.”
The doctor includes examining the symptoms that must be examined by a doctor, fever, headache, or fatigue.
Finally, do not forget your Farisin friends, as Pazouli said. Make sure to verify it accurately, including under collars and between the toes.
