Ticks can cause the dreaded Lyme disease
Lyme disease is by far the most dreaded affection caused by tick sting. Doctor Răzvan Dărea explained that if someone is bitten by this insect, it is important to remove the tick as soon as possible after being found on the surface of the body. He explained and how this disease is transmitted. Under the name of Borrelia Burgdorferi, there is, in fact, a group of several genospecies, three of which are most commonly involved in Lyme pathology, says the doctor. “The man is not part of the life cycle of the bacterium, but it can be infected if it is bitten by a tick ”explains the doctor.
Răzvan also says that in order to avoid the sting of the ticks we should avoid the places where they develop: “The ticks usually live in shady, wet soil and often catch on the tall grass, bushes, shrubs and low trees. The meadows and gardens can shelter ticks, especially those from the edges of the forests and those around the old rock walls – areas where the deer and mice live – the primary hosts of the tick ”.
“To prevent Lyme disease, it should be avoided as much as possible contact with soil, leaves and vegetation, especially in May, June and July, when ticks are not yet mature and are difficult to observe.”he shows.
The treatment consists of the administration of antibiotics, but the type of antibiotic and the duration of administration – which can vary from a few days to a few months – will be established by the specialist doctor. “However, no matter how well the therapeutic scheme has been chosen, relapses may occur, in these cases the two cures are required”, Warns the doctor.
