Every year, barely looks like a springtime, we collect a big company and go to nature to enjoy the appetizing kebab. And immediately wake up insects, who are looking forward to us there. We are accustomed to mosquito bites, especially enough to capture a miley spray with them, but tick bites can lead to serious consequences.

The tick season usually begins in early April, but in last years With the first bite, the victims appeal already in March. It lasts until September-October, so even in the summer we can not forget about these little pests. Why are the ticks are so dangerous, what diseases do they carry? About symptoms in humans who can manifest after tick bite, read further.

Tick \u200b\u200bbite: human symptoms

IN Europe specialists are known 15 diseases and 7 of they are dangerous for people. This is a Lyme disease (borreliosis), tick-like encephalitis, erlihiosis, tick-free returning, tularemia, babesia, spotted fever. The most common are the first 4. These diseases appear after the tick bite, but the main danger of B. that some of they proceed asymptomatic.

Doctors do not get tired of reminding that after the tick bite, you need to immediately contact the hospital and attribute ticks to the study. Most people neglect this rule - take ticks and immediately forget about it. It is impossible to do so, and that you do not enter their number, we will tell, what diseases are transferred to these insects and what are the first symptoms of infection.

Borreliosis

In 1975, many cases of rheumatoid arthritis in children and adults after contact with the tick were recorded in the city of Lime (Connecticut). After research conducted, scientists managed to establish the cause of the disease - Borrelia genus bacteria.

The first signs of borreliosis are manifested later. 7-14 Days after tick bite.Basic symptoms:

• increasing body temperature, chills;
• an increase in lymph nodes;
• nausea and vomiting;
• at the site of the bite - a bluish-red ring, its diameter gradually increases.

Bacteria affect literally all systems are nervous, blood, digestive, musculoskeletal. The disease penetrates all organs and fabrics, and if at the first time the symptoms resemble ordinary poisoning, then for 4 week they will turn into a violation of speech and memory, paralysis of the face, arrhythmia and dizziness.

Note that there is no vaccines for the prevention of borreliosis. Best prevention - protect yourself from bite.

Erlichiosis

Bacteria of the genus Ehrlichia fall into the blood of a person with a saliva tick. The first signs appear through 7-20 days after bite.The disease is manifested in the following symptoms:

• increasing body temperature;
• pain in the muscles and joints;
• general weakness;
• at the site of the bite is a watery bubble (vesicle), which in the future turns into an ulcer and is covered with a crust.

Erlihiosis can proceed asymptomatic, especially in adults.

Babezia.

Babeesiidae bacteria, which cause this disease, affect red blood cells - blood cells. Symptoms:

• dark color of urine;
• constipation and diarrhea (alternating);
• increased temperature;
• general weakness;
• the yellowness of the mucous membranes.

The disease can be asymptomatic, in which case it can be identified only after the blood test. It is also known, after what time after contact with the ticks may appear signs: 7-15 days.

Ticky Return Tiff

Very serious illness, the symptoms of which are almost instantly manifest:

• high temperature, up to 40C;
• head and muscular pain;
• disorders of work nervous system.

Pay attention to how the bite looks like: it turns into a small papul, and later a rash appears throughout the body.

Spotted fever

This disease appears pretty quickly - after 1-2 day after the bite of an infected tick. From the symptoms:

• increased temperature;
• blood from the nose;
• nausea and vomiting;
• violations, temporary loss of consciousness.

After a few more days you can notice on the hemorrhage mucosa, there are rashes on the skin, alternating with red-made nodules.

Tularemia

This is another dangerous disease that is transmitted through the bite of the tick. Of the first symptoms that can be found at home:

• an increase in lymph nodes;
• lethargy and weakness;
• intoxication.

Treatment of the above-described diseases should begin immediately. Diseases can grow into chronic shape and even lead to death or disability. Moreover, after one bite, you can pick up several diseases from the tick at once!

Returning from the street, be sure to inspect the whole body for the presence of bites. Most often, the tick can be found on the head or on the leg - it is these skin sites that remain less protected.

As you can see, we told about all diseases, but they were silent about one. Tick-borne encephalitis - the disease is very serious and, unfortunately, the most common, so we will tell about it in more detail.

Symptoms of the bite of the encephalitic tick in humans

To begin with, we note that the word "Encephalitis" does not belong to the belonging of the tick to a certain form: it means that it is infected with the encephalitis virus. What kind of disease is it?

Viral encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain, accompanied by damage to the spinal cord, peripheral nerves. If it does not start treatment in time, the disease begins to progress: a person refuses speech and memory, decrease intellectual abilities, degradation / change of personality occurs, paralysis and death is possible.

By appearance Determine, insect is infected or not, it is impossible, and that is why doctors are asked to bring ticks from which you suffered to analyze to eliminate the risks of the disease.

Remember: After the tick bite, you need to see the doctor urgently. There are risks of infection by Encephalitis, if in the first few days you feel bad, namely:

• you have increased body temperature up to 39-40 s, chills;
• the bite of blushing and very hurts;
• it is difficult for you to look at the light;
• there was a rash on the body;
• there is nausea and vomiting;
• you are experiencing headaches and weakness, lubrication in the muscles and joints.

With viral encephalitis, the symptoms are recession within a few days, so it is easy to confuse with a conventional cold. But after some time they repeat, and such waves can be about 10.

Symptoms can manifest after 2 days, and maybe after 3 weeks. Sometimes the disease is evident asymptomatic, and this encephalitis is even more dangerous, because the more progressing the disease is progressing, the more difficult it is to cure.

Summarizing all the above, we can make a specific conclusion: after the tick bite, you need to immediately contact the doctor to eliminate the risks of the disease. When you take a tick, try to do it most carefully so that it stays alive. Then put it in a small jar - and run to the laboratory! There you will need to pass blood.

But it is best to avoid tick bites. Going out on nature, wear closed shoes and long sleeves clothes. Close the neck, armpits, head, and pants refuel into socks. Girls must braid hair and hiding under a hat or golk. Do not forget about special insects.

Remember that ticks are mostly inhabited in shrubs and dry, so it does not turn there without need. As soon as you come home, inspect all your things, shake them thoroughly. Only so you protect yourself from dangerous diseases that endure these insects!

In Russia, more than fifty types of Ixode ticks are inhabited, the most massive and common among which is the IXODES Ricinus (which is also called canine, European forest or ordinary Ixodes). In the people, this species is often called borreliosis tick, since it is the main carrier of a dangerous infectious natural focal disease - Lime Burreliosis.

Below in the photo shows such a tick, sucking to the human body:

On a note

In terms of morbidity, borreliosis occupies a leading place among the natural focal infections and is one of the important problems. modern medicine, leading in terms of prevalence in most countries in Europe, Asia and the United States. Burreliosis accounts for approximately 90% of all diseases whose carriers are arthropods.

Every year, only in Russia is registered about 8 thousand cases of human borroeliosis infection. It should be borne in mind that, without proper treatment, the disease may be deadly.

On the danger of Lime Burreliosis, the nuances of infection with them through the bites of ticks and ways to prevent serious consequences - about all this we will also talk more ...

Distribution of Lime Burreliosis

Tick-borne borreliosis is a very difficult infectious disease, extremely dangerous for a person. In medicine use a series of synonyms:

• system mite borreliosis;
• lyme disease;
• Lime Burrelioz;
• chronic erythema migratory;
• tick \u200b\u200berythema.

Some of these names briefly describe the symptoms of the disease, which, generally speaking, can vary by severity in a wide range. Because of this, the disease is often incorrectly identified and not prescribed during the necessary treatment. This circumstance also explains the fact that the causative agent of the disease was discovered and described relatively recently - at the same time, the role of ixodic ticks in the transfer of pathogens from wild animals to man was also studied.

On a note

The name of the disease occurred from the city, in which there was a massive flash of the incidence of people (city Lime, Connecticut, USA). The clinical picture resembled arthritis, but this hypothesis was rapidly eliminated, since most of the victims were young.

Only in 1977 it was revealed that mysterious disease was associated with ticks. After examining the ticks of the genus IXODES, the experts found in their body of the pathogen - spirochet. But as a separate, independent borreliosis disease was registered many later, only in 1984.

Sometimes an infected tick in the streets are called Lyme tick, believing that Lime is the surname of the scientist who was engaged in studying the disease. In fact, this is a big mistake: Allen Styr was studying the problem, and the word "lime" refers to a small town, in which cases were recorded.

At this stage, the tick-borne borreliosis is widespread in the United States, Europe, Australia, in a number of countries in Africa, China and Japan. Russia is no exception to this list - the disease occurs in many regions of our country. At the same time, experts note that the cases of human infection of Lyme disease every year becomes more, and there is even the opinion that Burreliosis in the speed of distribution is inferior only to AIDS.

If you look at the proliferation map of the tick-borne borreliosis, then you can see that the borders clearly coincide with the borders of the domain propagation of the dog tick.

The fact that it is the common forest tick that plays a paramount role in maintaining the focus of this disease, at the moment is an indisputable fact. At the same time, of course, not every tick in a potentially dangerous area is borreliosis (that is, he is a carrier of spirochet), but this probability in most regions of Russia is always present.

Natural disease tanks and causative agent

Spirochet Borrelia Burgdorferi (named so in honor of his discoverer) is the pathogen of Lyme disease. It was isolated from lymph, blood and spinal fluid of sick people. After some time, the bacteria was found in organs and soft tissues of certain types of animals (deer, small rodents, birds).

Below in the photo shows how borrelia looks like with 400-fold magnification (laboratory samples painted for contrast of silver salts):

Ultimately, borrelia was removed from the digestive path of an Xodek tick. Thus was proved by the leading role of ticks in the transfer of the pathogen from wild animals to a person.

Borrelia in the natural medium is exclusively in the body of the natural owner. Specialists are about 200 species of animals, which are natural tanks of this type of spirochet. The mains are deer, dogs, cats, cattle, small mile rodents (voles, gerbils, beds, hamsters) and a large number of birds belonging to the family of sparrows.

However, the density of the organs of the borrelia tick organs is Nonodynakov: the greatest amount is contained in salivary glands and Malpigian vessels (separation organs) - this circumstance plays a paramount role in the transfer of the pathogen from the tick to a person.

On a note

Ixodic ticks - Basic Lyme Disease Mine

The dog tick is one of the main carriers of Lyme disease in Russia and, accordingly, plays a key role in the territorial distribution of infection. However, not only he can transfer borrelia.

The spirochetes also found in the body of the Taiga Tick of Ixodes Persulcatus (the so-called tick-borne Encephalitis), as well as other representatives of the genus IXODES:

• I. Dammini;
• pacificus;
• I. scapularis;
• tanguliceps.

However, these species are either not found in Russia or relatively small, so they do not play an important role in the spread of the disease.

Below in the photo is a taiga tick (for a non-specialist to distinguish it from the dog will not be so simple):

The life cycle takes place by type inherent to all Ixodov and consists of four stages:

• Egg;
• Larva;
• Nymph;
• Adult special (imago).

The female in the spring laying eggs on the grass or other substrate, then they develop larvae.

Below in the photo showing the eggs of a dog tick:

Paid, the larvae go to wintering or linen in nymph.

On a note

The nymph tick differs from the larva with the number of pair of feet - they have 4 nimphs, and the larva is only 3.

For further development of the nymphs, it is also required to go through blood, and they choose victims of wild animals of bigger, or birds, which can also contain borrelia in their body. Constant need for all stages life cycle Ticks in nutrition increases the chances of the tick of the blood of the patient of the animal and will become "borreliosis".

After the winter bands, the nymphs linen in Imago.

It is interesting

Borrelia are in the body of a tick from the moment of entering it along with the blood of the patient animal. In the process of development, the tick is linked, and complex restructuring occurs in its body, but it does not affect the viability of spirochetes. Even after a long time, the borreliosis tick remains contagious.

An adult tick has an oval body, covered with a shiny shield on top. In females, the shield occupies a 1/3 of the spinal surface, the males completely covers the back. Melt borreliosis carriers can be females, and males.

Externally infected tick looks like an absolutely identical unreasonable individual. Morphologically distinguished them is also impossible. To determine whether the clergy is a carrier borreliosis, special laboratory studies are necessary.

How is the contamination of man borreliosis

Currently, in addition to natural foci, anthropogenic, where the disease circulates not only between ticks and wild animals, but is also relatively often transferred to humans. The infection carrier is detected in park areas, in the squares and on the streets of large and small cities, where infection may well occur.

Pliers are found in almost all plant communities of the city. But the greatest number is observed on the roads of forest roads and paths, on overgrowing, in ravines and beams, according to the floodplains of rivers.

Usually, adult individuals of the ticks (imago) are biting, the likelihood of infection, from which, much higher. However, cases of human infection and nymph are recorded. In general, it is not so important at what stage of the ontogenesis of the tick became the carrier of Lyme disease: when the victim's bite, causative agents of the disease can still fall into the body.

The disease from the tick is transmitted transmissively when the causative agents go to our blood circuit in the bite of human tick. The tick produces a large amount of saliva in the wound to prevent blood turning. Together with the saliva in the human body, borrelia fall.

If the borreliosis tick is simply crawled around the body, but did not have time to bite, then the infection will not happen (although there are rare exceptions).

On a note

Thus, the longer the tick is on the body, the higher the probability of infection. However, even with the bite of borreliosis tick, a person may not get sick, since our body has immune protection reactions. As a result, according to statistics, the likelihood of borreliosis infection with a tick bites is about 5 cases per 100 episodes of suction.

Clinical picture of the disease: its symptoms and danger

Initially, the pathogens in large quantities are concentrated in the place of bite, thereby causing a local immune response. A bright red stain appears in the center of the bite (erythema), which increases in diameter - sometimes up to 5 or more centimeters. This is the first and explicit sign of human infection Burreliosis.

Erythema can migrate through the body: more often it develops on the thigh, in groin and axillary regions. At this stage of a person, as a rule, an elevated temperature and other characteristic symptoms are not bother.

Currently, it is proved that the migrating erythema is an integral clinical sign of Limin Burreliosis (although not always in time is noticed by patients, which may make it difficult to diagnose in the transition of infection to the next stage).

The second stage of Lyme disease develops in about the second month after infection and is characterized by the defeat of several organs and systems at once:

• skin cover;
• musculoskeletal system;
• of cardio-vascular system;
• nervous system.

The skin lesion is manifested faster and expressed in a large number of erytimes and subcutaneous nodules on the body, which often disappear and appear, and also change their localization. Sustainacles are observed (as in arthritis), the patient feels britting pain in the limbs. Pains can change their location and disappear as suddenly, as they arise.

The defeat of the cardiovascular system is manifested much less often. These may be inflammatory processes in the heart muscle (myocardium) or a violation of the electrical pulse in the heart, which is potentially threatening for the vital activity of the entire body.

The damage to the nervous system is manifested in periodic strong headaches, as with meningitis, but without nausea and vomiting. Often there is a burning pain between the blades, in the chest area and in the lower limbs. In the elderly, these symptoms are most pronounced and pronounced at night.

If the disease is launched and in time not to take the necessary measures, then the third stage of borreliosis is developing, which is also called late. It is characterized by a more serious defeat of any of the organism systems.

If Lyam arthritis develops, large joints are greatly affected: the knee, shoulder, elbow, less often - hip and small (joint joints and stop). Typical arthritis symptoms are manifested: swelling, severe pain, limited mobility of the joints.

The acute phase can last several months, after which there is no less long-lasting stage of "rest." At this stage, all methods of clinical diagnostics show the lack of causative agents of borreliosis in the body.

The lesion of the skin in the late stage is manifested in the form of atrophic rashes throughout the body. At the same time, large purple spots appear on the limbs, in which the skin die over time.

But the most dangerous is the launched neuroborreliosis, when the nervous system is affected. Among the dominant clinical manifestations in this case are noted:

• short-term severe pain in the field of face;
• paralysis of the upper or lower extremities;
• violation of the functions of pelvic organs;
• reducing memory and mental abilities.

On a note

With such a development of Burreliosis, it is at this stage that the strongest mental disorders are manifested, characterized by aggressiveness and protracted depressions, up to memory loss.

Burreliosis is particularly dangerous for children (borreliosis ticks can bite them during nature games). Children are often infected school ageBut preschoolers after contact with borrelia are much less likely.

The flow and symptoms of the disease in children are similar to those in adults. However, meningitis develops in children more and faster. Since the nervous system is affected, even after complete recovery, almost 90% of children have consequences: sleep disorders, depressive mood, unhealthy nerve reactions.

If the borreliosis tick bitten a pregnant woman, then some special complications are not manifested. In scientific literature there are no data on intrauterine infection of borreliosis of the fetus or complication of pregnancy. Animal experiments have shown that there is no direct relationship between the infection of the mother borreliosis and premature childbirth or miscarriages, as well as various pathologies of the fetus.

What to do with a tick bite to prevent dangerous consequences

Lyme's disease is perfectly treating the antibiotics of a wide range of action (for example, tetracycline). Even the third, particularly launched stage, is well treatable. But in order to initially protect yourself from a number of serious problems that may arise after the tick bite, it is better to provide a set of preventive measures in advance.

Preventive actions must first be aimed at minimizing the likelihood of contact with ticks. Unlike tick-borne encephalitis, there is no vaccine from Laim's disease. Therefore, when you are in nature, you should avoid the most likely places of mass accumulation of ticks (trail of animals, old, overgrown with grass and shrub of localities).

You should not neglect such protection methods as repellents, treating their clothes and open areas of the body every time you are going to nature. The most important thing is to periodically carefully examine yourself and are close to the presence on the body of ticks.

Pliers, which are found in the territories of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, as well as countries of Eastern and Western Europe, can be sought to the skin of a person of any age and gender in order to obtain blood. The fresh blood of a person is needed by tongs to start the breeding cycle, so these insects are literally can't do without people. In this sense, ticks are similar to mosquitoes, which also requires human blood for breeding.

but teeth bitesUnlike most mosquitoes, not harmless, since these insects are carriers of several dangerous infectious diseases. Therefore, after the bite, it is necessary to take a number of actions aimed at preventing the development of severe infectious diseases with which the tick could infect a person.

In Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Western and Eastern Europe and the US ticks are carriers and, accordingly, when bite Can infect a person with the following infections:

• Ticky encephalitis;
• Borreliosis (Lyme disease);
• Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever;
• Omsk hemorrhagic fever;
• Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Most often ticks are carriers of tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis, since these infections are distributed in the territories of almost all countries of Europe, the Asian part of Russia and the United States. That is why the prevention of these infections is focused on tick bites.

The remaining infections (hemorrhagic fevers) are distributed only in the territory of individual regions, therefore it is possible to infect them if a person bites a tick that dwells in this area. And since the ticks do not leave their habitat area, moreover, it is practically not shifted from the place throughout life, conducting it often on the same bush, it is possible to infected with hemorrhagic fevers only if the tick is in the region with The prevalence of these infections. Accordingly, the person himself should also be in the region where hemorrhagic fevers carried by local ticks are common.

So, congo-Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever It is common only in the Crimea, on the Taman Peninsula, to the Rostov region, South Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and in Bulgaria. Omsk hemorrhagic fever Completed in the territories of Omsk, Novosibirsk, Kurgan, Tyumen and Orenburg regions. Sometimes the mold-carriers of Omsk hemorrhagic fever are found in the territory of Northern Kazakhstan, Altai and Krasnoyarsk Territory. Tank of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome Located in all countries in Europe and Asia, but infection is fixed only in the form of episodic outbreaks and isolated cases of infection.

So, since ticks can infect human dangerous infections, consider algorithms of actions that need to be taken in various situations after the bite of this insect.

What should I do if bitten by a tick?

Algorithm of actions, if bites a tick

Regardless of the one who was bitten by a tick (child, a woman, a man, an elderly person), it is necessary when detected of this fact Take the following manipulations:
1. Delete a tick in any available way (see Sections below);
2. Processing the place of suction of a tick antiseptic (iodine, alcohol, green, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, etc.);
3. Place the tick in the closed container and if possible, to pass on the analysis to determine whether it is a carrier of infections;
4. Pass analyzes on borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis to determine whether infection has occurred after the tick bite;
5. Preventive reception of drugs, the action of which is aimed at rapid suppression of an infectious disease transmitted by man with a tick;
6. Watch your own state within a month after a tick bite.

When the tick bite must necessarily remove the insect as soon as possible and process the place of suction to the skin. The remaining points of the algorithm can not be done, except for observation of their own state within a month. If for 30 days after the tick bite there will be any signs of malaise, you should consult a doctor, as it may be a symptom of the development of tick-borne infections that must be treated.

Placing the tick after removing from the skin in a closed container is advisable only if it is possible to transport it to a specialized laboratory to study the maximum during the day. Such laboratories are usually in infectious hospitals. However, since in many cities and countries in Europe, the ticks are in principle not investigate whether they are carriers of infections, and observe the state of people after the bite, then the insect packaging in the container in most cases is meaningless.

In general, the identification of whether the tight is a carrier of infections, it is not necessary, and it is necessary solely for an early accurate determination of the subsequent tactics of the behavior of the busted person. So, if the tick is "clean", that is, is not a carrier of infections, then a person may forever forget about the bite, because it does not bear any consequences. If the tick is a carrier of infections, then this does not mean that he necessarily infected a person and he needs to wait for the development of the disease. Indeed, in 80% of cases, the bite of the infected tick does not lead to human infection. Therefore, if a person bit the infected tick, it is necessary to observe its condition for a month and, if possible, pass the blood tests to identify whether infection has occurred. That is, the analysis of the tick allows the person himself to stick to the right tactics and be prepared for a possible disease, and not rely on "maybe".

A more rational (compared to passing to the laboratory of a tick) tactics of behavior after a bite is the delivery of blood tests in order to clarify whether the insect has infected with any infection. However, it is not necessary to immediately donate blood, as analyzes will be non-informative. Not earlier than 10 days after the bite, it is possible to hand over the blood to detect tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis by PCR. If the analysis is carried out by the IFA or western blot (immunoblotting), then it is necessary to take blood for the detection of tick-borne encephalitis every two weeks after the bite, and borreliosis - after 4 to 5 weeks.

In the course of PCR, the presence of the pathogen in the blood is detected, so this analysis It is very accurate. And during the IFA and Western blotting, antibodies of type IgM against the tick-borne encephalitis virus and borreliosis causative agent are detected. IFA method is inaccurate because it is high percentage false positive results. Western blot is reliable and accurate, but is mainly produced, only in private laboratories in major cities, as a result, it is not available to every person whom the tick was bitten.

If the results of any analysis (PCR, IFA, Western blot) will be positive, then this means that the tick has infected a person. In this case, it is necessary to immediately undergo a course of treatment that will allow early stage cure a disease.

You can not count the tests, and immediately after the bite, it is prophylactic treatment against tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis by taking drugs. Such treatment in most cases makes it possible to prevent the development of infection, and the person does not get ill, even if the tick infected him.

Despite the temptation immediately after the bite to conduct preventive treatment to protect themselves from the development of infection, if infection occurred, should not do this. Doctors and scientists consider the most optimal and justified the following tactics of behavior after the tick bite:
1. Remove the skin tick.
2. On day 11, after the bite, donate blood on the detection of tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis by PCR.

If the PCR result is positive for any one or both of both infections, then the reception of drugs should be taken to prevent the full development of the disease and its cure at the incubation period. To prevent Burreliosis, doxycycline + ceftriaxone, and encephalitis - iodantypyrin or anaferon, produce antibiotics. If the result is positive on both infections, antibiotics and iodantypyrin are accepted for preventive treatment.

If the result of PCR is negative, then 2 weeks after the tick bite, give the blood to the detection of tick-borne encephalitis by the method of IFA or Western blotting. Then after 4 weeks, it is reused of blood on the identification of borreliosis by the method of IFA or Western blotting. Accordingly, when obtaining a positive result of the analysis, antibiotics or iodantypyrin should be taken, depending on which infection was detected (encephalitis or borreliosis).

Taking antibiotics and iodantipirin immediately after the bite of a tick without conducting analyzes justifies only in cases where the incident occurred away from civilization (for example, a tourist campaign, bike ride, etc.) and it is impossible to get to medical laboratories. In this case, antibiotics, and iodantipyrin, because of the antibiotics, and iodantypyrin, must be taken to prevent encephalitis and borreliosis, since it is unknown, a carrier of which infection is tick.

General Tick Removal Rules

If a person of any age and sex bit the tick, then first of all it is necessary to remove the insect as soon as possible, since the longer it is on the skin, the higher the probability of infectious diseases. It is necessary to remove the tick from any place on the body, and complying with a specific technique, since the insect is very tightly squeezed to the skin with a peculiarity of a peculiar process. These processes make trumps of a tick look like harpoon, so just pull the insect from the skin will not work (see Figure 1).

Picture 1 - Trumps tick in the skin.

In order to remove it, it is impossible to drown on a tick of oil, glue, milk, close it with a can and produce any other actions aimed at clogging insect's breathad, located on the back of his body. The fact is that when closing the breath of ticks can not normally breathe, and this makes it aggressive, as a result of which he splashes its saliva in blood very intensively and in large quantities. Namely, the saliva contains the pathogens of the infection that transfers the tick. Thus, the clogging of the peak of the tick increases the risk of human infection by encephalitis or borreliosis.

You can remove ticks with hands, tweezers, dense thread or special devices of domestic or imported production (Tick Twister, The Tick Key, Ticked-Off, Anticlece), which are sold in pharmacies or in Medtechnik shops. These fixtures have a different form and methods of application, so it is recommended to choose the optimal variety in the "Medtechnik" and use it as needed. Such adaptations to remove ticks should be bought in advance and have with you with a different departure on nature. If there are no devices, it is necessary to remove the ticks with conventional technicians, such as tweezers, thread or fingers.

Regardless of how the tick is removed, it is impossible to touch the insect with bare hands. This is due to the fact that when removal, you can damage the tick and then the contents of it intestinal tract It will fall on the skin with which it can penetrate the systemic bloodstream if any small, invisible wounds are invisible to it. That is, removing tongs with bare hands, a person increases the risk of infection with various infections. That is why before removing an insect, we need to wear rubber gloves. If there are no gloves, you can simply wrap your hands with a regular bandage or clean cloth. Only protecting its hands in such a way, you can begin to extract the tick of the skin.

After removal of the tick, it is necessary to disinfect the wound by treating it with any existing antiseptic, for example, iodine, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, tincture of calendula or alcohol. Optimally handling the wound left from the tick, alcohol or iodine. After processing, the skin is left without a dressing. If a person wants to take a tick for the analysis to determine whether he is a carrier of any infection, the insect must be placed in a jar along with a piece of wool moistened, close the container and store in the refrigerator. If a person does not want to give ticks to the analysis, then the remote insect can be simply burned into the flame matches, lighters or a fire or crush it with shoes.

Consider how to properly remove the tick in various ways.

Tick \u200b\u200bremoval using Tick Twister fixture

This device is the best to remove ticks for two main reasons. First, Tick Twister allows in 98% of cases to completely remove the tick, without breaking it and not leaving it, so the insect head in the skin. This is a very important advantage, because the head remaining in the skin will have to remove the needle, as a non-poison, which is quite painful and unparalleled. In addition, the tick head in the skin is a source of pathogenic microbes that transfers insect. And, accordingly, the head of the tick continues to remain a source of infection for a person.

Secondly, the use of Tick Twister allows you to avoid pressure on the digestive tower path, as a result of which the risk of a large number of insect saliva, containing pathogens of infections, is absent. When using tweezers, threads or fingers often turn out to be strong pressure on the digestive tower path, as a result of which it jumps into the skin a large amount of saliva, in which the pathogens of tick-borne infections are contained. Accordingly, such a loss of saliva increases the risk to infect infection, if this has not yet happened.

In addition, Tick Twister is very convenient to use and during the removal of the tick does not cause pain.

To use Tick Twister is very simple: it is necessary to capture the tick between the teeth of the device, after which turn it around its axis counterclockwise 3 - 5 times and easily pull on itself (see Figure 2). After several turns counterclockwise, the tick is easily pulled out of the skin. Removing the tick, the place of suction is treated with iodine or alcohol.

This device allows in most cases to successfully remove the tick, without breaking it into parts, and also not to put pressure on its digestive tract, preventing saliva emissions into the blood. However, The Tick Key in its characteristics is somewhat worse than Tick Twister, since it is inconvenient to use it in some hard-to-reach areas of the body, such as inguinal and axillary folds, an area under the breasts in women, etc.

Use the Tick Key tool to remove the tick is three steps (see Figure 3):
1. Put adaptation on the skin in such a way that the tick is inside a large opening;
2. Move the Tick Key, without taking off the skin surface, so that the tick hit the small hole;
3. Rotate The Tick Key counterclockwise 3 - 5 times, then pull the tick on itself.

After removing the tick, the place of suction is treated with iodine or alcohol.

Figure 3. - Terms of using The Tick Key to remove a tick.

Tick \u200b\u200bremoval using Ticked-OFF device

The ticked-off device is as convenient and practical as Tick Twister, however, unfortunately, in most cases it is possible to buy it in the CIS countries only through online stores.

TickD-OFF To remove the tick should be used as follows: Put a spoon vertically to the skin, after which the sticking part of the tick in the hollow. Fixing the tick thus, you should turn the device 3 - 5 times around its axis counterclockwise, after which it is easy to pull on yourself (see Figure 4). After removing the tick, the place of suction is treated with iodine or alcohol.

Figure 4. - Terms of use of Ticked-OFF to remove a tick.

Rules for removing a tick using the adaptation of antiques

Anticleus is a special wire tweezers (see Figure 5), which allows you to secure the tick and, at the same time, do not put pressure on its digestive tract, which provides fast, efficient and safe skin extraction.

Figure 5. - Adaptation of antiques.

To remove the tick to the adaptation of anti-flask, it is necessary to capture the insect as close to the skin surface as possible. To do this, you need to press a large and index fingers to the middle of the tweezers to dilute its tips to the side and put them in such a way that the tick head is between them. Then should stop the pressure on the middle of the tweezers, allowing its conchs to come together around the tick. After that, you need to turn the device 3 - 5 times counterclockwise around your axis and easily pull on yourself.

After removing the tick, the place of suction is needed to be treated with iodine or alcohol.

Tick \u200b\u200bRules Tick Tweezers

In order to remove the tick of the tweezers, you need to capture it, closer to the instrument's tips as close as possible to the skin surface. Then, holding the tick in the grip, you need to turn it around your axis counterclockwise 3 - 5 times. After that, it is necessary to easily pull the insect on itself, which should be easy to get out of the wound. If the ticks cannot be pulled out, then you should turn it several times counterclockwise and pull again. After removing the tick, the place of suction must be treated with iodine or alcohol.

Rules for removing tick thread

At first, it should be slightly pressing on the skin in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sucking tick, as if you try to squeeze the pimple. After that, take a solid thread of 15 - 30 cm long and take the inserted loop with a diameter of 2 - 3 cm. Then put the loop on the skin so that the tick hit it. Firmly tighten the loop, connect both ends of the thread into one and start turning your fingers counterclockwise. When the thread turns out to be tightly twisted, you should pull over it, and the tick is easily removed from the wound (Figure 6). The remaining in the place of the tick rink to handle iodine or alcohol.

Figure 6. - Removal of a tick with thread.

Then secure the ticks with the fingers and turn it around its axis counterclockwise 3 - 5 times. After that, pull the tick on yourself, and it will easily be removed from the wound. Place of suction of a mite to be treated with iodine or alcohol.

Rules for removing the remains of the tick of the rings

If you fail to remove the tick, and there are any parts of his body in the skin (most often a head with a trunk), then they must be pulled out. If the remnants of the tick do not pull out, an ulcer can form on the skin or there will be a long-term inflammation that does not pass until the parts of the insect body are independently.

The removal of the remains of the tick from the wound is performed in the same way as the zanosis is removed, that is, with the help of the needle. The needle is pre-sterilized by treating hydrogen peroxide, alcohol or holding a flame 1 - 2 minutes. Then a sterilized needle takes the remains of the tick of the wound and processed by it with iodine or alcohol.

How and how to handle the place of bite of a tick?

After the tick was removed from the skin, it is necessary to process this place by any antiseptic agent. The best way For this purpose, alcohol and iodine are suitable, but you can use hydrogen peroxide, and chlorhexidine, and green, etc. Any existing antiseptic is poured into a piece of clean wool and abundantly lubricate them the wreck left after removing the tick. After such treatment, the skin is left open and not impose a bandage.

At the site of the tick bite for 3 weeks, redness, swelling and itching can be saved. In this case, it is recommended to lubricate the inflamed area of \u200b\u200biodine and tincture of calendula every day, and take any antihistamine drug (for example, Erius, Telfast, Supratin, Phenolic, Zetrin, etc.).

How to transport ticks to a laboratory for analysis?

To transport ticks to the laboratory, it is necessary to place a live insect into the container, which can be closed tightly, for example, in a jar with a lid, etc. In a tight container, it is necessary to put a small piece of wool moistened with water. Until the moment of transportation, the tick capacity must be kept in the refrigerator. Remember that only a live tick is suitable for analysis, so if the insect died in the process of removal from the skin, it does not make sense to transport it into the laboratory.

How and what are the tests after a tick bite to detect tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis at the stage of the incubation period?

Currently, to identify whether the man's tick infected with encephalitis or borreliosis, the following blood tests are produced:

• Venous blood for determining the presence of a tick-borne encephalitis virus and borrelia by the PCR method (analysis takes no earlier than 11 days from the date of bite, since it is not informative).
• Venous blood on the definition of antibodies to the IGM type mite encephalitis tick-type virus (analysis surrender in a minimum 2 weeks after the bite).
• Venous blood on the definition of antibodies to the Burreliosis Virus type IGM by the IFA method (analysis surrender in at least 4 weeks after the bite).
• Venous blood for definition different options Antibodies (VISE, P83, P39, P31, P30, P25, P21, P19, P17) To the IGM type tick-borne encephalitis virus using the Western blot method (analysis takes at least 2 weeks after the bite).
• Venous blood for the definition of various options for antibodies (Vise, P83, P39, P31, P30, P25, P21, P31, P30, P25, P21, P19, P17) to the Burreliosis virus type IgM method of Western-blot (analysis surrender in at least 4 weeks after the bite).

The most informative are blood tests produced by PCR and Western blotting. Therefore, it is best to make these analyzes for early detection possible infection tick-in-law infections. The IFA method should be used only if PCR or Western blotting are not available.

To identify hidden ticky infections, it is recommended to test the tests twice after the tick bite. The first time in the deadlines specified for each method (after 11 days for PCR, after 2 or 4 weeks for ELISA and Western blot), and the second one month after the first test of analysis. Both times should be given blood for the analysis by the same method. For example, if the first analysis was delivered to PCR, and then the second must be produced by the same PCR method. And the second time the analysis is rented only if the results of the first were negative.

If the first and second tests for both infections will be negative, the tick did not infect a person. In this case, you can simply forget about this unpleasant episode of your life. If the second analysis turns out to be positive, then a course of prophylactic treatment should be taken, which will suppress the disease at the stage of the incubation period.

If the first analysis showed a negative result for one of the infections and positive for the second, then the tactics change somewhat. For the prevention of detected infection, the analysis of which turned out to be positive, the necessary drugs (iodantipyrin for encephalitis and doxycycline + ceftriaxone for borreliosis). For the second infection, the analysis of which was negative, re-analyzed a month after the first. Accordingly, with a negative analysis, you can completely relax and forget about the bite of the tick. And with a positive analysis - to undergo a course of prophylactic treatment with the necessary drugs.

How and which taking drugs after a tick bitter to prevent the development of tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis?

To prevent the development of borreliosis After the bite of a tick man of any age and gender, two antibiotics must be taken:

• Doxycycline - 100 mg to 1 time per day for 5 days;

Receiving data of two antibiotics makes it possible to prevent the development of borreliosis (even if the tick has infected a person) in 80 - 95% of cases.

To prevent the development of encephalitis People of any age and gender after the tick bite there are two main techniques:

• The introduction of serum is produced in a clinic or hospital, and only in the first 72 hours after the bite. The introduction of serum in a later date is useless.
• Reception Iodantypyrin people over 14 years old and Anaferon children's teenagers under 14 years old.

The administration of serum is an ineffective and dangerous method, since people often develop severe allergic reactions up to an anaphylactic shock. Therefore, this method of prevention of tick-borne encephalitis is currently not used in Europe and the USA, and in countries former USSR From him also gradually refuse.

Today is quite effective and safe method The prevention of tick-borne encephalitis after the tick bite is the reception of iodantypyrin or child anaferon, depending on the age of the victim.

Children's Anaferon Give all children and adolescents under 14 years after a tick bitter in order to prevent tick-borne encephalitis. Children under 12 years old give 1 tablet 3 times a day, and adolescents are 12 - 14 years old - 2 tablets 3 times a day. Anaferon Children in these dosages should be given to children within 21 days after a tick bite.

What to do at home, if we bite the tick?

At home after the bite of the tick, it is necessary to remove the insect from the skin primarily and process the remaining rice with an antiseptic (iodine or alcohol). After that, if it is possible to pass tests at appropriate dates - after 11 days per PCR, after 2 and 4 weeks per ELISA and Western blotting. However, if for some reason it is impossible to pass the tests, then immediately after the tick bite, it is recommended to drink the course of antibiotics (doxycycline + ceftriaxone) and iodantypyrin (for adults) or children's anatherson (for children) in order to prevent tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis. Antibiotics and iodantypyrin or children's anaferon can be taken simultaneously, each in its schema. Moreover, the reception of drugs should be started as early as possible after the tick bite.

What if the baby bit the tick?

If the tick bit the child, then the algorithm of action is exactly the same as in relation to an adult.

Then, within appropriate time, pass tests for the presence of infections in its body. Accordingly, if the results of the tests turn out to be positive, to conduct a course of preventive treatment of the child with the necessary drugs (doxycycline + ceftriaxone for Borreliosis and Anaferon Children's for tick-borne encephalitis). If the result of the tests is negative, then after a month, it is reused. Accordingly, if the second analysis turns out to be negative, then you can forget about the bite of a tick, and if positive, then conduct a course of treatment.

In the case when it is impossible to pass tests, it is recommended to start giving child to child and antibiotics as quickly as possible after the tick bite (Doxycycline + Ceftriaxone), and Anaferon Children's prevention and borreliosis. Antibiotics are given in age dosages, and doxycycline - for 5 days, and ceftriaxone - within 3 days. Anaferon Children is given within 21 days 1 tablet 3 times a day for children under 12 years of age, and 2 tablets 3 times a day to teenagers 12-14 years.

What if the pregnant woman bites the tick?

If the tick bitten a pregnant woman, then it should be removed from the skin and handle the wound with iodine or alcohol. Then, during the required time, it is recommended to pass tests for the presence of tick-borne encephalitis and borreliosis. Further, if borreliosis is revealed, then amxiclave should be made in terms of pregnancy for 16 to 20 weeks, taking 625 mg 3 times a day.

To prevent tick-borne encephalitis, pregnant women can not be taken any medicines, and it remains only to wait and observe their own state. If there are signs of encephalitis (temperature, headache, etc.) or poor well-being for a month after the tick bite, you should immediately contact the doctor, hospitalized in the hospital and get the necessary treatment. More than any action after the bite of a tick of a pregnant woman do not need.

What if we bite the encephalitite tick?

If we bite the encephalitite tick, it is optimal to prevent the development of an infection that has already fallen into the body, to put the iodantypyrin (adults and adolescents over 14 years old) or children's Anaferon (children under 14 years old).

Iodantipirin should be taken to all people over 14 years old according to the following scheme:

• 3 tablets 3 times a day in the first 2 days;
• 2 tablets 3 times a day in the next 2 days;
• 1 tablet 3 times a day in the next 5 days.

Children and adolescents under 14 Yodantypyrin is contraindicated. For the prevention of tick-borne encephalitis, they use Children's Anaferon.

Children's Anaferon gives all adolescents and children under 14 for 21 days. Moreover, children under 12 years old give 1 tablet 3 times a day, and adolescents are 12 - 14 years old - 2 tablets 3 times a day.

What if bitten a borreliosis tick?

If a borreliosis tick bit, then a short course of antibiotics is recommended to prevent the development of the disease according to the following scheme:

• Ceftriaxone - 1000 mg 1 time per day for three days.

Tick \u200b\u200bbitten, but not satisfied

If the tick bitten, but did not have time to sleep, it should be simply treated with an antiseptic (iodine, alcohol, etc.). No one needs to be taken, because during the bite the tick does not have time to infect human infections. After all, for the transmission of borreliosis or encephalitis, the implave is necessary in the skin at least 6 hours.

Bit the tick - where to go?

If we bite the tick, then you should contact the infectious informationist to the clinic at the place of residence. In addition, you can contact the centers of epidemiology and prevention (former Santsans) existing in regional cities and district centers. In the cities of Siberia, where the ticks are widespread and often bite people, there are specialized centers for the diagnosis and treatment of tick-borne infections. If a person lives in Siberia, then you should find out where there is such a center in the near city and turn there.

First Aid when tick bite

The first assistance in the bite of the tick is to remove from the skin and the processing of the remaining rings with an antiseptic (iodine, alcohol, etc.).

What to do if the temperature rose after the tick bite

If the temperature rose after the tick bite, it is necessary to consult a doctor and pass tests on borreliosis and encephalitis. If the analyzes are negative, then it is possible not to worry, because after the tick bite, a person can hold the temperature to 37.8 o C for a month.

What to do if after the tick bite appeared redness on the skin?

Redness on the skin after a tick bite can be a symptom of early borreliosis or allergic reaction. It is not always quickly possible to distinguish, which caused redness in each particular case - an allergic reaction or borreliosis. Therefore, with the appearance of redness, it is recommended to take antihistamines (suprastin, phenyatil, claritine, parliament, etc.). If under the action of antihistamine means within a few days of the Redness, it will significantly decrease in size, this means that an allergic reaction occurred, which will be fully held for a month. If, under the influence of the antihistamine drugs, the Reds is practically not reduced, this means that borreliosis develops with a high probability of a person. In such a situation, it is necessary to pass tests on borreliosis, and in the case of positive results, the treatment immediately begin.

The main thing is that the bite of the tick bite for a person is infected with the pathogens of serious diseases that may be in its saliva. The most severe of them are considered rapid typhoid and borreliosis. Diseases arising from the bite of a tick often have complications that destroy the gray substance and the shell of the brain, the heart, the spinal cord, the CNS.

Sitting to the site on the human body, the insect gradually absorbs blood and increases in size, it is at that time it is possible to determine its presence.

In most cases, the symptoms of the tick bite are found in those parts of the body, where skin covers are particularly thin: armpits, the inner side of the knee, part of the head, covered with hair, neck. It is in such places that a man does not immediately become noticeable. But there are cases when insects attract other parts, for example, hand.
