Pliers belong to the family of spiders and there are more than 850 species. The greatest danger of ticks are presented in the form of different infectious and viral diseases.

What pincers look like

Ticks are used for breathing not the oral apparatus, but special troubles located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear paws, they look in the shape of the tubes.

The attached tick of the body becomes light gray, as can be seen in the photo.

Species of ticks

Ixodic ticks

Ticks of this species are the most common bloodsuckers in our areas, they can often be found in mixed forests, fields, bushes and grass, they can hide on the crust of trees or just on Earth. Ixodic ticks are carriers of diseases such as tick-borne borreliosis (Lyme disease), encephalitis, typhoid and other unpleasant diseases. Ticks prefer wet and warm climate, so they can often be found in shaded places near the rivers and lakes.

Argasovy pliers

This type of tick differs from the other soft bodies of black with a brown rim. Argasy ticks attack their victims at night. There are these ticks in caves, catacombs, nora, larger cracks. Pliers of this species are able to live to 14 years in the absence of food, and individual individuals can live up to 25 years, which significantly exceeds the life cycle of other types of ticks. For full saturation of the argasy tick, only 30-50 minutes is enough, and the xexodes can suck blood to 8 days. The dimensions of the ticks are reached up to 1 cm.

Subcutaneous tick

Teeth bites

If there are no necessary devices at hand, you can use the thread bound to the loop. The loop is thrown on the head of a tick and a neat movement tightened it, after which it gradually pulls and loosened the tick until it gets out.

• Lyme disease;
• Tick-borne tit;
• Tickpie encypalite;
• Tularemia;
• Babesia;
• Tick \u200b\u200brickeciasis.

Some of the listed diseases are difficult to cure and they can damage the nervous system of the body, which in the absence of proper treatment can lead to death.

Blood-axes are carriers of numerous infections and belong to the class especially dangerous. Infection occurs directly through the bite of articraft. The most serious infections, transfers are encephalitis and borreliosis.

The peak of registration of bites falls on the first half of summer, but the activity of the tick is observed to a deep autumn. The tick can cling to clothes, and then get to the open skin. Often the penetration of a dangerous tick occurs through the sleeves, at the bottom of the trousers, in the collar area.

Classification of ticks

By magnitude, these representatives of arthropods rarely reach 3 mm, mainly the size of the ticks range from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. As it should be spiderman, there are no wings in the ticks.

The ticks are classified into two main groups:

• Sterile - those individuals that are not carriers of any infections;
• Infected pliers, which are carriers of viral, microbial and other diseases (, encephalitis).

It is worth noting that most often the ticks begin to bite early in the spring and deep in the fall. Please note that not all ticks are carriers of infectious diseases. Despite this, even sterile tick can lead to serious consequences. That is why it is so important to know what to do in a particular situation when attacking a tick.

In addition, even in the case of infected bites, the disease does not always occur, but the risk of infection is very large, so it should not be underestimated. Insects transmit Lyme disease (Lime Burrelioz), tick-free encephalitis, and rarely anaplasmosis, babeticiasis or Bartartellez.

Symptoms arising after the bite of a tick in humans

The first sign of Lyme disease, infection caused by the Borrelia spirochet, migrating erythema appearing 7 days after the bite (can also pass to three weeks). Migrating erythema has a characteristic appearance - blurred in the middle, it gradually fades and redness is observed outside.

The consequence of untreated Lyme disease may be an infection of the nervous system - paralysis and / or neuritis.

Signs of the bite of the encephalitic tick

In turn, the tick-like encephalitis gives flu-like symptoms. The first phase appear:

Be sure to monitor the victims if there are no signs of infection migrating erythema or other diseases. If within 30 days (usually 3-7 days) after removal of the tick, the migrating erythema of the skin appears, there is no point in carrying out laboratory tests confirming the infection. In this case, the doctor prescribes treatment - an antibiotic. Unfortunately, in some cases, erythema and other signs are less pronounced or no symptoms at all. Therefore, even if the alarming symptoms do not appear, it is necessary to do analyzes. The recommended ELISA test, which is conducted in 4-6 weeks.

Symptoms include headaches, fever, vomiting, nausea, loss of consciousness, meningitis or encephalitis. They usually disappear after 2-3 weeks, nevertheless, almost 60% of patients can occur complications.

Originally Erythema looks like red spots that grow rapidly. Nevertheless, you should know that more than half of the cases, the skin reaction is not manifested,

This skin allergic reaction does not exceed 5 cm in diameter and disappears in a month, regardless of whether you took medication, or not.

Migrating Erythema

Migrating Erythema Bacteria is caused Borrelia. And is one of the symptoms of severe tick-sick disease - Lyme disease. As a rule, it appears within 7-14 days after the bite of a tick-infected borreliosis. Usually disappears spontaneously after about 1 month.

A characteristic rash resembles the shield of explosive work: in the middle of an oval or round spot, and then a white circle. Erythema ends with a red rim, which every day, "goes" further and is becoming more and more. Erithema can accompany flu-like manifestations.

It is difficult to miss this type of rash, since the diameter of migrating erythema is at least 5 cm - a sign, with the help of which it is distinguished from an allergic reaction to bite.

It should be noted, however, that rash appears only in part of the contaminated (30-40 percent) of its absence does not mean the lack of infection of Lyme disease.
Erythema is not always present, but when it appears, it is formed around the bite, although sometimes arises in other places. Each patient has an individual shape, and even the color of redness.

In patients in late stages (second and third), treatment may also lead to a significant improvement and absence of consequences.
In the late stages of the disease, some damage can remain constant or recover very slowly, despite the treatment. There may be residual paralysis of the facial nerve or pain in the knee. Some people develop resistant muscular and articular pains, constant fatigue and weakening of the concentration of attention, despite the absence of borrelia in the blood, spinal and synovial fluid.
