Having recently moved to a new house near the State
Game Lands I was excited to take my nephews and niece out to explore. Being that
it was somewhat chilly I had a long sleeves and long pants. I felt I was pretty
protected as we were not going deep into the woods, but instead were staying on
a trail that we only followed for a couple hundred yards. When we got back, I sat down saw a tick run
across my leg. Yes, I screamed. I
quickly grabbed a paper towel and scooped it up off my pants leg and promptly
disposed of it. At that point I made
sure that everybody that went for the walk (including myself) was thoroughly
checked for ticks. Luckily we did not find any more ticks, at least not then.
The next afternoon I happened to look down at my leg and
noticed an unusual mark. Upon closer inspection I saw that there were little
legs sticking out of it and yes they were squirming. I had a tick attached to
me- ewwww!! I used to be a lab tech so not
much throws me but this little bloodsucker actively burrowed in my leg did and
I needed to get it out ASAP as I couldn't tolerate the thought of it being
attached a minute longer! I quickly got tweezers and extracted the entire tick,
head and all, from my leg. Just in case
it was needed, I saved the tick in a container.
I then went and washed to bite wound and my hands thoroughly, just as
the instructions I found on the internet said.
Having two friends with Lyme disease really made me
concerned about my risk. I knew to look for a bull’s eye rash but didn't really
know much else. My first thought was that first thing Monday morning I needed
to call my primary care physician to see what they would recommend. From the primary care standpoint I was
grateful that I have a relationship with a primary care office and knew that if
I called they would be able to help me, which they did.
On Monday morning I called my primary care office, PinnacleHealth
Medical Group, Heritage Family Medicine, not really sure what to expect. After
explaining the situation the office wanted me to come in evaluate the tick bite
and see if there was any follow-up necessary. I was so fortunate in that they
were literally able to get me in within a half an hour.
Dr. Metropoulos at Heritage Medical Group in Lemoyne was
wonderful and explained the risks of Lyme Disease based on my case and our
options for treatment. We both agreed that a prophylactic course of antibiotics
would be the best route for me.
I typically spend a lot of time outdoors and thought I
was pretty knowledgeable about healthcare. But this tick bite was definitely a
learning experience for me.
I had some pretty big questions throughout this experience.
Luckily, within PinnacleHealth we have a number of experts including those in
the primary care field and infectious diseases. And consulting with Dr. John Goldman with infectious disease he was able to provide me with some great
information answers to my questions.
Dr. Goldman recommends the following safety tips for tick
bite prevention.
- Wear long sleeves and long pants
- Use insect repellent with DEET
- Change clothes immediately after coming inside your house
- Wash clothes promptly
Since all the boxes are unpacked and I am certainly not
moving anytime soon, I'm going to have to learn how to live in an area where
ticks are prevalent. I've since stocked
up on insect repellent, have made a habit of checking myself frequently for
ticks and am looking forward to spending time going for more long walks this
summer.

خشکی پوست سر می تواند باعث خارش آن شود، که در عین حال طاقت فرسا و آزاردهنده است. یک درمان عالی برای حل این مشکل استفاده از مخلوط روغن زیتون و آب لیموترش به عنوان ماسک است. تهیه این ماسک موی خانگی بسیار ساده است و بلافاصله خارش را متوقف می کند. شما فقط آب لیموترش و روغن زیتون را با کمی آب مخلوط کنید، آن را روی موهایتان بزنید و به مدت 20 دقیقه صبر کنید، سپس مانند روال همیشگی شامپو بزنید و موهای خود را بشوئید، بلافاصله بعد از حمام متوجه تغییرات خواهید شد
