Tularemia

Tularemia is a disease that can affect both animal and human beings. Tularemia is more common in pets with small amounts of blood, such as rats, mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits. It is spread mostly through tick bites, Tularemia can also be spread through skin contact with an animal infected or through breathing in airborne particles , usually through the dust. Tularemia can cause fever. If you've been bitten by ticks, you'll feel an itchy bump on your skin. Tularemia is a cause of Lymph node swelling , which is typically located in the armpits, or the an area of the groin. Similar to other conditions that are listed on this list you should seek medical attention right away when a tick has bit you. Tularemia, if left untreated can cause bloodstream infections and even the lungs which could cause breathing problems.

Heartland Virus

It is believed that the Heartland virus was transmitted by Lone Star ticks. Heartland virus patients may suffer symptoms like:

 

  • Fever

  • Fatigue

  • Appetite loss

  • Headaches

  • Nausea

  • Diarrhea

  • Muscle pain

  • Joint pain

Heartland virus alters the white blood cell count in your body. This makes you more prone to contracting other diseases as well as illnesses. Heartland virus also alters blood platelet count, which means that should you be injured yourself when infected, the blood won't clot as fast. A minor cut can cause significant blood loss. Sometimes , the symptoms can take up to two weeks for symptoms to manifest. If you have been bitten by a tick, seek medical attention as soon as you can. You can avoid chronic issues that last for a long time by making a call to Lawn Worx.

 

Flea-borne Typhus

The typhus of fleas can be spread not just through bites of insects but also through contact with their urine. The bites of fleas can be extremely itchy, so when your pet or you is bitten, it's only natural that you'd desire to scratch at the itch. This can cause an open wound, which is especially common on pets. The itching that pets experience is something they will do everything to ease. The skin can get infected by bacteria from urine if it's damaged. The virus can be contracted when you accidentally touch the flea's dirt (another term used to describe the feces of a flea). When pets come in from the outside, they could accidentally drop fleas onto the carpets without realizing. It is possible to spread flea-borne dirt by vacuuming. This usually causes the bacteria to become airborne. You may then accidentally breathe it. Flea-borne Typhus is like Tularemia. Symptoms can take some time. And like Tularemia the symptoms can easily be misinterpreted as flu or even a cold. They include:

 

  • Fever and chills

  • Muscle pain and aches

  • Appetite loss

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Stomach pain

  • Cough

  • Rash

Flea-borne Typhus, if not treated, can lead to major organ damage, including the liver, kidneys and brain. It's the best way to locate a lawn mowing service near me.

 

Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is the most common transmission-related disease that is transmitted by vectors in the United States. It is carried by the black-legged tick, sometimes referred to as the deer tick. Lyme disease could develop into a chronic illness if left untreated and then spread to the joints, heart as well as the nervous system as well as the brain and spinal cord. It can be treated with powerful antibiotics if discovered early. But that's not really the crucial aspect. Similar to other ailments in this list, Lyme disease symptoms mimic the symptoms of the flu or common cold. Even if there's no evidence of any tick bites and you've been to the woods recently and developed the following symptoms it's recommended to seek medical treatment.
