What are ticks?
Ticks are nasty little parasites that drink blood
from their hosts. They often feed on mammals such as dogs, cats, or
deer, as well as humans. Ticks position themselves on the ends of leaves
or branches, usually along pathways where there is a lot of animals or
people walking by. Once a person brushes past a bush or shrub where a
tick resides they will use their barbed snouts to cut a tiny incision in
your skin where and then insert their head to suck your blood. Once the
head is inserted in the skin, pulling on the tick will only separate
the head from the body, leaving the head embedded in your skin. This
means that you can't remove the tick unless the head is out.
Ticks cause Lyme disease
Ticks
are a big problem because they can carry a serious disease called Lyme
disease. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which will first manifest
itself by symptoms such as fever, depression, headaches, fatigue and a
circular skin rash. If Lyme disease isn't identified early, later
symptoms may affect your heart, joints, and nervous system. However, if
you identify the infection early, antibiotics will usually eliminate the
problem.
Wear light and tight clothing
In order to avoid
ticks, there are a few different precautions you can take. First, make
sure that you wear light colored clothing that covers your arms and
legs. The light color will help you to identify a tick if it tries to
attach itself. Tight clothing is recommended since it makes it more
difficult for a tick to cling to your clothing. Always tuck in your
clothing so that there aren't any open areas for the tick to climb and
cling to. As you check your body, make sure to focus on moist and dark
areas, ticks generally prefer those parts of your body.
Identify plants
Try
to identify the types of plants that are on the pathway. Animals such
as deer tend to stay away from plants such as morning glory or ferns.
Familiarize yourself with the different types of plants that animals
that are native to the area avoid. Generally if animals avoid pathways,
ticks will usually be scarce in that area.
Use insect repellent or natural repelling oils
Also,
cover your skin and clothes with insect repellent. This will help
discourage ticks from clinging to you. Another good repellent is
eucalyptus oil or Neem oil. Ticks hate the smell of both of these oils
and it will discourage them from clinging to your skin.
