Make Well - clothes

The concern about ticks and the illnesses they can carry has been growing exponentially recently, due to a rapid increase in the number of bites and tick-related illnesses across the globe. While we have learned a considerable amount about ticks and how to prevent getting bitten, there is still lots to learn about how to best protect ourselves, our kids and our pets from possibly contracting an illness such as Lyme disease.

Ticks are part of the arachnid family and are closely related to spiders, mites and scorpions. They are often incredibly tiny and hard to spot on skin or clothing, which makes it very hard to detect them before being bitten. While there are many different species of ticks living in Britain, the most common ticks that tend to bite humans are the sheep tick, also known as the castor bean tick, as this tick is known to feed on a wide variety of mammals and birds. The hedgehog tick and the fox or badger tick are also known to bite humans. All of these species of ticks have the possibility of carrying Lyme disease.

Make Well - tick — Several species of ticks are known to carry Lyme disease.

The biggest concern with ticks, of course, is the risk of contracting Lyme disease through one of their bites. The good news is that only a small percentage of ticks carry the bacterium that causes Lyme disease – however, with numbers on the rise, it is still very important to take proper precautions. Lyme disease is an infectious, or parasitic, disease that is passed on to humans through a bite from a tick carrying the bacterium. Unfortunately, symptoms do not usually begin to present themselves until 10–14 days after the bite, which again makes it very hard to detect right at the beginning, making prevention that much more crucial. The symptoms can last for several months, and the bacterium can even remain in the system without presenting any symptoms, only to resurface again later. A very sneaky illness, indeed.

Another difficulty with tick bites is that the symptoms of Lyme disease present themselves as just a simple flu at first, so it is hard to make the connection back to a tick bite, especially if you’re unaware you’ve been bitten. The unlucky recipient of the bite will likely just feel unwell, with flu-like symptoms including achiness, sore muscles, extreme fatigue, headache, upset stomach and difficulty sleeping. If caught and treated in time, usually antibiotics will prevent the person from developing chronic Lyme disease. However, if the illness is severe enough, it can even cross into the central nervous system, causing a whole range of additional problems.

While we have been busy checking our skin after being in an area that could be high in tick populations, we don’t always necessarily check our clothing very closely. Unfortunately, ticks can also hitch a ride on clothing and shoes, and wait to crawl onto their unsuspecting host. It is important to check your footwear and clothing when coming inside after being in areas where ticks would frequent. Ticks can usually live on clothing for 2–3 days, and they usually hang around on clothing for at least 24 hours. So, how do we get rid of these little pests and ensure they don’t end up biting us?

The trick to getting rid of ticks on clothing is not just to wash, but to dry on a high heat.

The trick is to dry your clothes before washing them. Yes, that definitely sounds counter-intuitive, but it is what people have found works best. You need to put your clothes in the dryer at high heat for at least 10 minutes. Then, proceed to wash your clothes and dry them again. This will ensure that the heat has killed any possible ticks on your clothing. If the clothing is really soiled and must be cleaned first, be sure to wash the clothing in water temperatures greater than 54°C (130°F), and then dry them on high temperature. It is very important that the water in the washer is hot, as studies have shown that 100% of ticks can survive a cold-water wash, and 94% of ticks survived a warm-water wash. (Source)

With ticks, it has been shown that prevention is the best course of action over treatment. Whenever you are heading outside, be sure to spray yourself with insect-repellent that has a minimum of 20% DEET and 0.5% permethrin, both of which are strong chemicals that help to repel ticks. Don’t just spray your skin, either; be sure to cover your socks, shorts, shirt, and any other clothing as well. This will help to prevent the ticks from catching a ride on your clothing and being brought into your home.

If you do happen to notice that you have been bitten by a tick, do not panic! There is a simple way to remove the tick safely. Using a pair of fine-tipped tweezers, grab hold of the part of the tick that is sticking out, and pull firmly but slowly, lest the head of the tick remain embedded, causing more damage and the possibility of the bacterium being released. Once the tick has been removed, dispose of it by drowning it in rubbing alcohol, put it in a sealed bag, or flush it down the toilet. Clean the bite with rubbing alcohol, and monitor for any flu-like symptoms over the next few weeks. If you happen to notice any symptoms, visit your doctor and let them know that you have been bitten by a tick.

Ticks are small blood-feeding parasites in need of human and animal hosts. Like their closest relatives, spiders, scorpions and mites, they have four pairs of legs and they can’t fly or jump. Therefore, they wait patiently on grass or leaves until a potential host approaches. They then latch onto the unfortunate animal or person and look for a thin area of skin near a small blood vessel.

Some ticks carry bacteria, viruses, protozoa and nematodes, which they may pass on to the host through their bite. Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the northern hemisphere. Many people don’t notice that they’ve been bitten by a tick, as it’s generally not painful.

Ticks are found all around the world, but they tend to prefer warm and humid climates. The risk of tick bites is the highest in forests, moorland and areas with high grass during the warmer months, when the parasites are the most active.

There are many different types of ticks across Europe and the United States.

How Many Different Types of Ticks Are There?

Ticks are divided into two main families: Ixodidae (hard ticks) and Argasidae (soft ticks). Hard ticks have a plate or scutum covering their back. They also have distinctive mouthparts that are visible when viewed from above. Soft ticks don’t have a scutum and appear to have a wrinkled body.

In Europe and the United Kingdom, the species most likely to bite humans is the Ixodes ricinus (sheep tick or castor bean tick). This species feeds on a wide variety of mammals, including humans and dogs, and birds. Although less common, bites from other types of hard ticks are also possible. These include the Ixodes hexagonus (hedgehog tick) and the Ixodes canisuga (fox or badger tick). Another species, the Dermacentor reticulatus (ornate cow tick) can also bite humans, but this has rarely been recorded. It is, however, particularly a risk to dogs, and so is the Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick), which is found in warm climates around the world. In the United States, the highest risk for people and pets alike comes from the Ixodes scapularis (deer tick).

Hard ticks have three life stages: larvae, nymph and adult. They require one blood meal during each of these stages in order to survive and moult to the next stage. Adult female hard ticks have to feed one final time before laying a few thousand eggs and then dying. The typical lifespan of each developmental stage is between 8–12 months.

Which Types of Ticks Carry Diseases?

Being bitten by a tick doesn’t mean you’re going to become ill! Not all ticks carry or transmit infections. However, you must certainly see your doctor if you notice a rash on your body shortly after you’ve been bitten, or if you develop flu-like symptoms within weeks of visiting a high-risk area, even if you didn’t find a tick on yourself.

Hard ticks (the sheep tick in Europe and the deer tick in the United States) are the main vectors of Lyme disease. The same species also transmit other illnesses, and co-infections may occur. Less common tick-transmitted diseases include babesiosis, anaplasmosis, rickettsiosis and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). The ornate cow tick carries canine babesiosis, and the brown dog tick is a vector of several disease-causing pathogens in dogs.

What is Lyme Disease?

Lyme disease is a bacterial illness transmitted through the bite of infected ticks. It’s a multisystem illness, which means it can affect many different organs in various ways. Nicknamed ‘the great imitator’, it shares symptoms with several other diseases, making it quite difficult to diagnose in many cases. It can usually be successfully treated with antibiotics, but the later it is diagnosed, the more difficult it becomes to cure it completely.

Early symptoms of Lyme disease in humans include a circular rash, fever, fatigue and headache. The rash usually begins as a small red area around the tick bite that gradually expands, but it sometimes appears elsewhere on the body. In 20–30% of patients, no rash is observed.

If Lyme disease is left untreated, it may cause more serious symptoms months or even years later when the immune system wakens due to another illness or environmental factors. Symptoms of chronic Lyme disease include joint pain, eye problems, cognitive impairment and heart symptoms.

Make Well - grassy area — To reduce the risk of contracting Lyme disease, be vigilant about tick protection when visiting grassed or wooded areas.

What Should I Do if I’ve Been Bitten by a Tick?

If you’ve been bitten by a tick, you should remove it as soon as possible using fine-point tweezers. Take hold of it very close to the skin and pull it out slowly and carefully in one piece without twisting it! Then clean the skin around the bite with rubbing alcohol.

Keep the tick in the freezer in a sealed container. In case you develop any symptoms, it may help your doctor assess the probability that you’ve contracted Lyme disease.

You should also arrange a medical appointment if you don’t have a rash, and even if you don’t recall being bitten by a tick at all, if you develop flu-like symptoms after visiting a high-risk area. Make a list of all your symptoms and when you first noticed them to aid any diagnosis. Your doctor will also ask you if you take any medication, vitamins and supplements.
