Bite of ticks can most often be obtained in the warm season, namely: from March to May and from August to October. The activity of insects in the summer is noticeably reduced, and in the winter season they “sleep”. But with the first rays of the Sun, when the air temperature and humidity rises, the ticks wake up and are actively looking for the energy they need to reproduce. In this regard, ticks begin to actively attack warm -blooded animals (cats, dogs, etc.D.) and people. Therefore, it is necessary to take prevention measures.
How to remove a tick
If, walking with the animal, you noticed a larger number of parasites on it, you need to urgently leave the place of walking. The tick is sucked with the help of its proboscis, from which spines of ticks go to the back of the tel. During the penetration of the proboscis into the skin of the animal, the thorns straighten out. If you pull the tick along the axis, then the thorns dig even more into the skin, this can lead to the separation of the proboscis from the body.
Remove the tick with great care. In no case do not squeeze his body, as this can lead to the fact that hazardous substances-excesses of infection will fall into the wound. It is important not to break the body of the tick when removing, otherwise the part remaining in the skin can cause inflammation and suppuration. The operation to extract an insect must be carried out in gloves, t.to. Lima and encephalitis are transmitted even with simple contact with insect.
How to remove a tick
There are several ways to remove the tick:
With lubricants
A little gasoline, warm sunflower oil, iodine, alcohol or vodka, cologne (warm) or acaricidal agent (used to process dogs from ticks) must be drunk on the tick. After such a procedure, the tick is strayed by breathing, the proboscis relaxes, and within the next half hour it disappears itself.
With the help of tweezers
The tick tick needs to be captured with tweezers and removed with rotational movements (twisted), you cannot pull. With this method of extraction, the spines of the body are folded parallel to the axis of the body, and the risk of tearing the proboscis is minimized. One or three revolutions are enough, and the body body will be completely extracted.
You can squeeze the tick only at the proboscis, so that, by chance, do not squeeze a dangerous fluid into the wound. Pulling the insect with tweezers has a significant minus: you can not calculate your strength and squeeze the body too much. Then, along with the insides of the tick, the virus will fall into the bloodstream.
Using a thread
A strong thread is used to extract the tick. It is tied with a knot at the proboscis. Then, slowly tighten the tick up, by stretching the end of the thread to the sides. There should not be sharp movements.
How to remove a tick
If during the removal of the tick there was a torn separation, then infection still occurs, t.to. salivary glands contain a sufficient amount of virus. Unlined head has the form of a black dot. Remove it as a regular splinter. At first, the place is disinfected, then the head is removed by a sterile needle (bitten on fire). Then process the affected area with iodine or green.
The extracted tick must be burned or attributed to the analysis in the laboratory, which to exclude the possibility of the disease.
With a strong bite of the tick, it is recommended to give the animal (dog) diphenhydramine inside, 1-2 tablets 2 times a day, as well as sulfademoxin, in the same dosage, but once a day. The animal must be treated with acaricidal or washed using zooshampup.
To date, there are many devices, both domestic and imported production, allowing you to easily and quickly remove the tick from any place on the body of the animal. Among them: Tick-Twister, Lasso handle, Ticked-off, Tick Nipper, Pro Tick Remedy.
