Experts have warned that ticks – blood-sucking, disease-carrying arachnids – appear to be on the rise. The number of confirmed cases of Lyme disease – the most serious bacteria infection spread to humans by infected ticks – has also increased.So make sure you keep an eye out for ticks and if you get one on you remove it asap. To remove a tick you have to make sure that you remove the tick properly How a tick is removed is extremely important. Incorrect removal may result in:
- The tick’s mouth parts being left behind in the skin (causing localised infection)
- Compression of the tick’s abdomen (causing back-flow of potentially infective fluids)
- Puncture of the tick’s body (spilling potentially infective fluids)
- Injury and stress to the tick (causing potential regurgitation of infective fluids)
