The tick in Poland are very dangerous is it true? [27]
Lyme disease is treatable
Whether the Lyme disease can be completely cured, it completely depends on the stage the disease has progressed to and the organs that have been affected in the disease.
If the disease is diagnosed in its early stage, then complete cure is possible with prompt and adequate treatment.
However, in later stages, the treatment becomes difficult due to involvement of other organs.
I just got bit by a tick and you should see what it did to me.
It take almost a week for the swelling to show up after you have removed the tick.
One of the favorite spots for a tick to bite you is behind your knee were you can't see.
Unfortunately I didn't find this tick until the next day showering.
The trick in removing a tick is not to just pull it off you because if you break off its head under the skin it will cause major inflammation and swelling for a very long time.
It may even require surgery to remove it at that point in the game.
The best way is to use a piece of dental floss, make a loop to go around the tick and pull it straight up.
Or take tweezers and grab it and pull straight up off your skin so nothing breaks off.
They do make a device just for removing ticks which is quite cheap.
I will be getting one this week because the ticks here this year are horrible.
They jump off your pets and unto you.
Stay out of tall grassy areas where they live.
