After the winter we just had, there is probably nothing more heartwarming than the many signs of spring. Unfortunately, one of the signs is ticks. Since it has been awhile since we ve dealt with these insects, we have put together a bit of health information to assist folks with this potentially serious issue. I hope you find it helpful. Info on Ticks Ticks are found in grassy, brushy areas where they wait for a host to pass by. They are especially prevalent along paths used by animals. Ticks are not choosy about their host and often get onto a person s leg. They crawl upward on the body, looking for a place to attach. Their populations are greater in the spring and summer following a mild winter. The number of ticks in residential areas may be reduced by removing leaf litter, brush and woodpiles around houses and at the edges of yards, and by clearing trees and brush to admit more sunlight and reduce the amount of suitable habitat for deer, rodents, and ticks. A tick bite is not painful and may go unnoticed. In most cases, the tick simply bites, draws blood for its nourishment, and drops off. If the tick happens to be infected, the infectious agent is transmitted during the feeding process. It is important to realize the majority of ticks are not infected. Info on Lyme Disease Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in Maine and the second most common of the reportable infectious diseases in Maine. May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month in Maine so remember to do your tick checks. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is carried by Ixodes Scapularis (the deer tick). Cases have increased over the last five years in Maine, and occur in all 16 counties. Lyme disease is most common among school age children and middle age adults. As the weather continues to get warmer, more ticks will be out in the open, and most infections in Maine occur during the summer months. The most common early symptom of Lyme Disease is an expanding red rash that occurs at the site of the tick bite within 3-32 days after being bitten. Fever, joint and muscle pains may also occur. Lyme Disease is treatable, and the majority of patients recover after receiving appropriate therapy. Ticks must be attached for hours before the bacteria can be transmitted, so prompt removal of ticks is extremely important. Anyone with a known tick bite, or who has been in a tick habitat should watch for symptoms for at least 30 days after the exposure. If symptoms develop, call your physician. How To Protect Yourself ** Avoid tick-infested areas, such as grassy or brushy areas and on the margins of trails in parklands and wild lands. ** Wear light-colored clothing so ticks can be seen. ** Wear long-sleeved shirts and tuck pants into socks. ** Apply insect repellants, specific to preventing ticks, to clothing and exposed skin. Carefully read product information when applying to children. (Note: the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding using repellents with DEET concentrations of 30 percent or higher on children.) ** Check your body thoroughly for ticks after coming from outdoors. How To Remove A Tick 1. Use tweezers. Grasp the tick by the head as close as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. DO NOT TWIST, JERK OR SQUEEZE THE TICK. 2. Thoroughly wash the bite site with soap and water and disinfect the bite. Wash your hands. 3. Never remove a tick with fingernail polish, alcohol or hot matches. 4. If you suspect the tick is a deer tick, place it between clear plastic tape for further identification.
