You Need to Know How to Avoid Lymes Disease

By: Michael J Green

This is the story of a man who fought lymes disease and won, studied the problem of lyme disease and struggled with it in a successful manner.

I distinctly remember that day, when I stepped out of my office to play golf with friends. I was enjoying my game, until one of my shot landed in a bushy wooden spot, distant from a golf arena. I took out my golf ball and suddenly, I assumed a bug bit me. The excruciating pain was unbearable. I did not have any similar feeling of pin before.

This terrible lymes disease has changed my life completely.
I made an intensive research on Lyme diseases. I found that the source of it is a tick bite. These tikes are mainly found in wooden areas. If not treated on time, the Lymes disease disrupts the entire functioning of the body. One tick bite has made my life completely different. However, my disease has taught me that we be always careful in life.
My motive is to worn people of the different signs and risks connected to Lymes Disease.

Preventing Lyme Disease Tips.

1. Be dressed in long trousers and insert them into socks when you go for mountaineering or walking in grassy or wooded areas. They must be tight at the wrists, ankles and waist.
Wear a hat when hanging out in densely wooded areas.

2. Take a medical checkup regularly for any of lyme disease symptoms, if you are a gardener and spend time mainly around bushes.

3. Use tweezers to eliminate ticks. Don't use your hands to eliminate it. If you are using your fingers, wear gloves or use facial tissues and clean your hands after taking off the ticks. Otherwise, there is a fair chance that you will get affected with the disease causing germs.

4. Give special attention everyday to uncovered hairy regions of the body, as ticks can be attached to these regions. Check your scalp too.

5. Avoid areas example high grasses, gardens, marshes and beach locations, especially towns to what area Lymes disease is plagued. You must keep away from hanging out in tick infested environment and surroundings, in local areas of lymes disease. In addition, you are required to cut down in your recreational activities such as landscaping, forestry, hiking, camping and other of outside occupations.

6. After you end your daily activities in garden or dense bushes, remove your clothes and thoroughly check all the skin surface areas for any legions of Lymes Disease

7. Decrease the infection of lymes disease with the use of repellents and covering your entire body with protecting clothes.
Apply tick and insect repellents that contain N,N-Diethyl-m-Toluamide (DEET) to the skin for extra safety from Lymes disease. You need to repeat these applications regularly for utmost efficiency. Later, you need to wash it with soap and water. You can scatter Permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid repellent spray on clothes. This solution kills ticks, when they come in contact.

8. Remove such habitats, which are suitable for ticks and their reservoir hosts like leaf litter and woodpiles. Clear brush and trees and keep grass mowed. You can also opt for pesticides to destroy ticks if in large number. You are required to keep out animals such as deer and mice, as ticks carry this infection from these animals.

9. Vaccination: We are lucky to have a vaccine to prevent lymes disease. On December 21, 1998, US Food and Drug Administration licensed Lyme disease vaccine. This vaccine is suitable for persons between age groups between 15 to 70 years. Studies expose that, this vaccine is safe and efficient. So, you must be vaccinated in local areas to keep away from being infected with lymes disease.
