Symptoms in humans after a tick bite.
The late spring and the majority of people do not think that in may and early summer are activated by blood-sucking arthropods - ticks. They can be in places of rapidly growing grass, on bushes and low trees, once near a person passes, this insect clings to the clothes, and then moves on unprotected skin areas and cutting into the body. Often, a bite from such a small bloodsuckers doesn’t really feel as his saliva contains a component that acts as a painkiller, providing anesthesia. Therefore, we will look at what are the symptoms in humans after a tick bite.
Of course, the tick bite is not very pleasant business, but not all ticks pose a threat to human health. Ticks bite into a person, so they can serve as carriers of serious diseases such as encephalitis, Lyme disease, relapsing fever, q fever, ingestion of which could threaten not only the severe consequences of disability and death.
The symptoms of encephalitis.
Tick-borne encephalitis - a serious injuries that can cause paralysis, and in worst case fatal. Often carriers of viral encephalitis bacteria are the ticks which bite before the person came in contact with small rodents that are sources of the virus. When a person is subjected to the bite of an infected tick, symptoms become manifest only after a week or even more days. Rapidly deteriorating General condition of the person, the body temperature rises to 39 - 40°, can be traced to the redness of certain areas of the skin and mucous membranes, a decrease in muscle tone, weakness in body, headaches, nausea and vomiting. Sometimes the patient may lose consciousness. If time does not provide intensive care, the virus gets into the body and can spread to the nervous system, resulting in reduced sensitivity of the skin, occurs numbness of the limbs, leading to paralysis.
The symptoms of Lyme disease.
Such a defeat of the human body in medicine known as Lyme disease. Harmful microorganisms spirochetes of the Borrelia family can hit literally all the internal organs and functioning systems of the body, which leads to long term chronic. The disease can manifest itself in a wholly unexpected way, as the primary symptoms could be traced like 2 days later and a month after infection in the organism. The most obvious symptom of infection with Borrelia bacteria is the presence of round or oval spots of deep red color in the area of the tick bite. This spot may rapidly increase in size, reaching a diameter of 10 cm.
After a while the stain is covered with a thin crust, after 30 days it disappears, leaving in its place a small scar. But this is not the worst, after a few weeks begin to show neurological, joint, skin and cardiac signs of Lyme disease, namely radiculopathy, sleep disturbances, pain in the chest, “twisting” of the knee, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, chronic atrophic acrodermatitis. In most cases of chronic Lyme disease is causing disability.
The symptoms of relapsing fever.
Ticks can also carry the bacteria of the genus spirochaetes, which excite the disease called “tick fever or relapsing fever. Penetrating into the blood, pathogenic bacteria actively affect the activity of the body: observed fever, chills, fever, sore limbs, nausea, abnormal growth of the liver and spleen. In the area of the tick bite appears dark purple bubble. The fever continues for 5 days, after which the temperature is reduced, the health of the person is normalized. But this is not the time to rejoice. The same attacks will appear again in a few days and will be repeated with some regularity, and can be up to 10 such attacks. If the time to provide quality care and to be hospitalized, this will give high chances for a full recovery
