Ticks can stick to skin of the person of any age: whether it be child or adult. Everything that it is necessary for them, so it to receive fresh blood. Why it is necessary to them? Everything is simple: for reproduction, and therefore these insects, it is kind of strange did not sound, adore people. If to say about what first of all needs to be made in house conditions if found out that you or your family were bitten by a tick, so is that the insect should be taken a vyvinchivaniye or circular motions.
If the tick did not manage to stick, but bit?
It is interesting that it is quite possible. Quite so males arrive. They need not a lot of blood, in comparison with females. But it is more difficult to find it on a body. For example, a female, having saturated with blood, increases many times and becomes of the size of a little finger phalanx.
What to do when the tick bit, but did not stick:
- We process the place of a sting (suction) of a tick an anti-septic tank which iodine, brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol or Chlorhexidin is.
- Surely we wash all clothes which were on you during a sting.
- In the house it is useful to carry out clear-out that your members of household were not bitten by a tick who, most likely, is in search of the new victim.
- Surely you watch the state for a month. If temperature all of a sudden began to rise, regional knots increased, and the place of a sting became inflamed, surely see a doctor. It can direct you to tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis testing. In the last two there is nothing terrifying. Even, if those are in blood, to you will appoint preventive intake of medicines which main task is to save you from an infectious disease.
What to do and what symptoms if the tick bit and stuck?
Ticks can stick to inguinal area of the person, a stomach, a waist, a neck, a breast. To armpits and also to area of ears. The bitten place is taken by reddening of round shape.
First aid in that case:
- carefully, slowly and without panic, we take a parasite from skin fingers (if a tick big), tweezers, threads (we do the overwound loop);
- surely we put on gloves and we remember that barehanded we do not touch this insect;
- on a body of a female of a tick we do not press at all, we do not use sharp movements;
- by means of the tools specified in the first point we capture a tick closer to a head;
- further we try "to unscrew" it from skin, rotating fingers, tweezers or a thread as the propeller, in different directions.
It would seem, all of you made, but, apparently, at a tick the head came off and on the place of a sting the black dot is seen? That to get rid of it, the affected area of skin is processed by alcohol, a sterile needle a head we delete just as would get rid of a splinter under skin. It was possible? Then carefully we process a wound antiseptics. We wash away hands with disinfecting means. And we burn the tick or we heat in boiled water – quite so you can be completely sure that you got rid of the wrecker.
What to drink and accept if the tick bit?
Remember that independently, without medical prescription you should not accept any medicines. Their appointment depends on results of analyses and individual intolerance of components of drugs. If to speak about the main therapy, then it is necessary to mention that antibiotics are usually appointed (are contraindicated to children up to 12 years) and also antiallergic medicines. As prevention of borreliosis appoint doxycycline (the antibiotic contraindicated to kids and pregnant women).
