Ticks
Pro Prevent: Tick Infestation Prevention Guide
Ticks pose a significant health risk to both humans and pets, capable of transmitting various diseases including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Pro Prevent offers comprehensive solutions to help homeowners protect their properties and loved ones from these persistent parasites.
Tick-Borne Diseases: Symptoms and Prevention
Tick-borne diseases can present with a wide range of symptoms, often mimicking other illnesses. Common signs include fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, and fatigue. Some diseases, like Lyme, may cause a distinctive bullseye rash, while others like Rocky Mountain spotted fever can lead to a red, spotty rash. Prevention is key – use EPA-approved insect repellents containing DEET or picaridin when outdoors, wear long-sleeved clothing, and conduct thorough tick checks after being in tick-prone areas. If bitten, remove the tick promptly with fine-tipped tweezers. While not every tick bite leads to illness, it’s crucial to monitor for symptoms and consult a healthcare provider if any develop, especially within 3-30 days after a tick bite. Early detection and treatment significantly improve outcomes for most tick-borne diseases.
