Existing symptoms of tick bite in humans

A forest walk in the late spring period, as well as in the beginning of summer, can have bad consequences due to a high probability of encountering ticks. These bloodsucking insects carry dangerous diseases - borreliosis and encephalitis. The ingress of a virus after a tick bite in the circulatory system of the human body is the cause of a health threatening infection.

Most often, people suffer from walking in the forest. However, the mite can suck and in the city - in the park, the garden, as well as in the yard near the house. Choose for the bite bloodsucking insects open areas of the body - the head, legs, hands, as well as the back area. Originally ticks cling to a man, and then bite into his skin. The presence of an insect on the body because of its small size people do not always feel. However, the consequences of a bite of an uninvited guest can be serious. That is why it should be identified in a timely manner.

Symptoms of tick bite in people begin to manifest after a few days. First of all, there is an increase in body temperature and increased sweating. There are pain in the muscles and joints. Irritability appears. Lymph nodes increase and headaches begin.

Symptoms of tick bite in humans can only appear seven or fourteen days after the blood-sucking insect has entered the body. Prior to this, only a small weakness that appears in the limbs can tell about the presence of the parasite. Symptoms of tick bite in people with encephalitis infection are very similar to those of normal flu. In this regard, there is a need to seek the advice of a specialist. Do not waste time, because tick-borne encephalitis affects, above all, the central nervous system of the patient. In addition, with the flow of blood, the virus moves to the brain, causing an inflammatory process in it. All forms of this disease (meningeal, febrile, etc.) are very dangerous for human life.

Symptoms of tick bite in people with infection with borreliosis appear much later. This period lasts up to six months. All this time, the virus in the body develops, and then begins to carry a threat to its life. The tick bite, the photo of which you see below, appears on the human body in the form of a round, and sometimes oval spot.

It has a reddish or bluish color. In addition, there is an increase in body temperature. As a rule, the symptoms of a bite are taken by a person for the onset of skin disease and the patient often does not rush to see a doctor, relying on the fact that the pathology will pass by itself. At the same time valuable time is lost and damage to the kidneys, heart and central nervous system begins.

Bites of ticks in people with untimely referral to a specialist become the causes of the appearance of symptoms of dangerous diseases. Encephalitis will manifest as paralysis, which affects some muscle groups, and seizures. In this case, the digestive and cardiovascular system will malfunction. There may be severe headaches and loss of consciousness. Borreliosis will affect external and internal organs. This will cause dermatitis, as well as painful sensations throughout the body.

These effects can be avoided if, in case of suspected bite of a tick, contact the hospital or independently find a parasite on the body and remove it.
