Common diseases transmitted by fleas and ticks

Apr 27

 

Tularemia

Tularemia is a disease that affects both animals as well as humans. It's common in smaller animals like rats, mice rabbits and guineapigs. While it's primarily spread through tick bites Tularemia can also be transmitted through contact with an animal infected or via breathing in airborne particles - typically through dust. Tularemia can trigger fever. If you've been bit by ticks, you'll see an itchy bump on your skin. Tularemia results in Lymph nodes to swell - usually located in the armpits, or the the groin region. If you have been bitten by ticks, it's essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tularemia when left untreated may spread to the bloodstream and reach the lungs where it can cause breathing difficulties.

Heartland Virus

At this time, it's believed that only Lone Star ticks are responsible for spreading Heartland virus. Heartland virus sufferers may experience symptoms like:

 

  • Fever

  • Fatigue

  • A loss of appetite

  • Headaches

  • Nausea

  • Diarrhea

  • Muscle pain

  • Joint pain

Heartland virus affects the white blood cell count in your body, which means that you'll be more vulnerable to other diseases and diseases. The platelet count in your blood is also affected by Heartland virus. If you hurt yourself during the course of being infected, your blood may not clot as fast. A minor injury could cause more blood loss. Symptoms often take between two and two weeks before appearing. If you've been bit by a tick take medical assistance as soon as you notice symptoms. The earlier diseases are caught more likely it is that they'll become persistent, long-term issues.You need to call Lawn Worx for professional services.

Flea-borne Typhus

The typhus of fleas can be spread not only through the bites of pests, but also through contact with their excrement. Flea bites are extremely itchy, so when you or your pet is bit, it's only natural that you'd desire to scratch the itch. Pets are a lot more scratchy if they are constantly doing so. They'll do anything to alleviate the itching. The skin can get infected by the bacteria in the excrement once it's damaged. There is also the possibility of contracting flea-borne typhus by accidentally rubbing your eyes after touching dirt (another name for flea feces). If pets are brought in from outside, they may accidentally deposit fleas on your carpets without realizing. This dirt is spread by vacuuming, which usually results in the bacteria becoming airborne. It is possible to breathe it. It is similar to Tularemia. The signs can last several weeks. And like Tularemia this condition can easily be mistaken for flu or even a cold. These symptoms include:

 

  • The fever and chills

  • Muscle discomfort and body pains

  • Appetite loss

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Stomach pain

  • Cough

  • Rash

If ignored, could cause serious organ damage, such as kidneys, the liver and brain. It is recommended to find a lawn mowing company near your home.

If left untreated it can develop into a lifelong illness. It can spread to the heart, brain and nervous system, the spine and joints. It can be treated with powerful antibiotics if it is discovered early. But that's not the most important thing.
