Disease

There are various measures which you can take to
protect yourself from Lyme disease. By taking
some steps you can prevent yourself from Lyme
disease.   Here is a list of things that happen
when a tick bites your body and you eventually
get affected by Lyme disease. Have a look.

• Things That Will Happen Within 24 Hours Are
• A substance will be spitted out by the tick which
  minimises the pain and sensation you feel due to
  tick bite. Theres a high chance that you wont
  be feeling any pain around the skin where the
  bite has been made by the tick.
• Glue-like saliva is secreted by the tick, which
  makes it stuck with your skin and it become
  difficult to brush the tick off.
• After this the tick will start the sucking
  process and extract water from the blood to feed
  itself. It spits back in your body the things
  which it doesnt require.

For the first 24 hours, this process will
continue, and this will be enough for the Lyme
disease bacteria to enter your body from the
tick. If you fail to remove the tick then this
cycle can continue for almost a week. The more
time tick is stuck to your body, the danger of
getting infection increases.

• How To Protect Yourself
• You should try to buy clothes that have built-in
  tick repellent. If thats not possible then
  simply apply some permethrin on your clothes,
  tents, sleeping bags, or other gear if youre
  going outdoors for camping or trekking (dont
  apply permethrin on your skin).
• Check your body to remove any ticks. Remove all
  your clothes and look properly at areas where
  ticks might get stuck on your body.
• You should know the correct way to remove the
  tick from your body. Use tweezers to grab the
  tick and pull it quickly from your skin. Dont
  try methods like washing or burning the tick away
  from your body. Plucking with help of tweezers is
  an ideal way to get rid of the ticks.

If possible, dont throw off the tick and put it
in a plastic bag. Show the tick to your doctor as
it will help him to find out the type of tick
which has bitten you. This will help him to
provide the best possible Lyme disease
treatment.   Only visit a Lyme disease specialist
in Australia. This will help you to get better
treatment for the disease because every doctor
cant provide treatment for Lyme disease. Dr.
