Tips for tick season

Tick season is from April to September in North Carolina, and everyone must take special care to prevent ticks from biting you, your children, and your pets.

Ticks are small, bloodsucking arthropods that can transmit diseases to humans and animals. Most of the tick-borne diseases in North Carolina are from a bacterial infection and can cause flu-like symptoms in people, according to NCDHHS. They can be treated with antibiotics if caught early. Untreated, they may lead to serious health problems, including death in rare cases.

Several illnesses transmitted by ticks are found in North Carolina: Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) and other Spotted Fever Rickettsial Diseases (SFR), and STARI (Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness)

Most tick-borne illnesses are characterized by rash, fever, and flu-like symptoms, including fever, headache muscle aches and joint pain. Prompt medical treatment, often with antibiotics, helps alleviate symptoms and prevent the development of more serious illness and long-term aftereffects.

Ticks are common in all areas of North Carolina. The more time spent outdoors, especially in wooded areas, can increase your risk of acquiring a tick-borne illness. Tickborne illnesses are easily prevented by taking measures to reduce tick bites while outdoors.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, tick exposure can occur yearround, but ticks are most active during warmer months (April-September). To reduce your chances of being bitten by a tick or acquiring a tickborne illness remember:

• Ticks live in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas, or even on animals. Spending time outside walking your dog, camping, gardening, or hunting could bring you in close contact with ticks.

Many people get ticks in their own yard or neighborhood.

• Treat clothing and gear

• Avoid Contact with Ticks

• Avoid wooded and brushy areas with high grass and leaf litter.

• Walk in the center of trails. After You Come Indoors

• Check your clothing for ticks. Ticks may be carried into the house on clothing. Any ticks that are found should be removed. Tumble dry clothes in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes to kill ticks on dry clothing after you come indoors. If the clothes are damp, additional time may be needed. If the clothes require washing first, hot water is recommended. Cold and medium temperature water will not kill ticks.

• Examine gear and pets. Ticks can be carried into the home on clothing and pets, then attach to a person later, so carefully examine pets, coats, and daypacks.

• Shower soon after being outdoors. Showering within two hours of coming indoors has been shown to reduce your risk of getting Lyme disease and may be effective in reducing the risk of other tickborne diseases. Showering may help wash off unattached ticks and it is a good opportunity to do a tick check.

• Check your body for ticks after being outdoors. Conduct a full body check upon return from potentially tick-infested areas, including your own backyard. Use a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body. Even after being bitten,

KMH (6/07, 14, 21 & 28/2023) it takes several hours for the tick to transmit the pathogen. Prompt removal can greatly reduce your chances of becoming ill. After being outdoors, a thorough “tick check” can help you detect any unwanted passengers. Pay particular attention to the scalp, and any areas where clothing is tight, such as waistbands, groin, armpits, etc. where ticks like to hide.

If a tick is found, CDC recommends removing it as soon as possible. There are several tick removal devices on the market, but a plain set of fine-tipped tweezers works very well.

How to remove a tick

• Use clean, fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible.

• Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouthparts with tweezers. If you cannot remove the mouth easily with tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.

• After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water.

• Never crush a tick with your fingers.

Dispose of a live tick by:

• Putting it in alcohol,

• Placing it in a sealed bag/ container,

• Wrapping it tightly in tape, or

• Flushing it down the toilet.

Follow-up:

If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of removing a tick, see your doctor:

• Tell the doctor about your recent tick bite,

• When the bite occurred, and

• Where you most likely acquired the tick.

Nail polish, petroleum jelly or hot matches will not make a tick let go. Wash your hands and the bite area with soap and water and clean the bite with disinfectant.

For later identification should you become ill, you can save the tick in a jar, plastic bag, or tape it to an index card using clear tape. Make sure you write down the date the tick was removed. If you develop any flu-like symptoms over the next several weeks, see your doctor and let him/her know you were bitten.

Don’t forget your pets. If you have dogs and cats that go outdoors, be sure to ask your vet to suggest the medication that is best to protect your pets from ticks.
