What to do with a tick bite

The first thing you should do after being bitten by a tick is to remove the insect and go to a regular hospital in a timely manner. Ticks are small, hard-to-detect blood-sucking animals that can carry a variety of viruses. Since the head of the tick extends its mouthparts into the skin when sucking blood, it is easy to leave the head of the tick in the skin if it is not handled properly when removing the body, such as forcibly pulling, so it is forbidden to forcibly pull or pull out the body of the tick after being bitten by a tick. When removing the body of the tick, alcohol, turpentine, liquid paraffin should be used to paralyze and kill the tick, and then tweezers should be used to remove the body of the tick, and then go to a regular hospital in time for treatment. Since ticks release an anesthetic substance when they bite, when a tick is found, the tick has been biting for some time, and symptoms such as allergies and poisoning may exist. In addition, because ticks can carry a variety of viruses, the bite may cause forest encephalitis, Lyme disease, tick-borne hemorrhagic fever, fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome and other diseases, often with systemic symptoms such as fever and skin petechiae. Patients who have been bitten are advised to actively observe for any abnormal symptoms and go to regular hospitals for timely consultation. As ticks are easily stimulated to burrow deep into the skin during treatment, so try to avoid treating the ticks by yourself after being bitten, and go to a regular hospital in time to be treated by a professional doctor.
