Psalm 119:50 Tick season is from April to September in North Car- olina, and everyone must take special care to prevent ticks from biting you, your children, and your pets. Ticks are small, blood- sucking arthropods that can transmit diseases to hu- mans 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 NCD- HHS. They can be treated with antibiotics if caught early. Untreated, they may lead to serious health prob- lems, including death in rare cases. Several illnesses trans- mitted by ticks are found in North Carolina: Ehrlichio- sis, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) and other Spotted Fever Rickettsial Diseases (SFR), and STARI (South- ern Tick-Associated Rash Illness) Most tick-borne illnesses are characterized by rash, fever, and flu-like symp- toms, including fever, head- ache muscle aches and joint pain. Prompt medical treat- ment, often with antibiotics, helps alleviate symptoms and prevent the develop- ment of more serious illness and long-term aftereffects. Ticks are common in all areas of North Carolina. The more time spent out- doors, especially in wooded areas, can increase your risk of acquiring a tick-borne illness. Tick-borne illnesses are easily prevented by tak- ing measures to reduce tick bites while outdoors. According to the Cen- ters for Disease Control, tick exposure can occur year-round, but ticks are most active during warmer months (April-September). To reduce your chances of being bitten by a tick or ac- quiring a tick-borne 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 neighbor- hood. • Treat clothing and gear with products containing 0.5% permethrin. Perme- thrin can be used to treat boots, clothing and camping gear and remain protective through several washings. Alternatively, you can buy permethrin-treated clothing and gear. • Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)- registered insect repellent- sexternal icon containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane- diol (PMD), or 2-undeca- none. EPA's helpful search toolexternal icon can help you find the product that best suits your needs. Al- ways follow product in- structions. Do not use products containing OLE or PMD on children under 3 years old. • 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, addi- tional time may be needed. If the clothes require wash- ing first, hot water is recom- mended. 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 com- ing indoors has been shown to reduce your risk of get- ting Lyme disease and may be effective in reducing the risk of other tickborne dis- eases. 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, includ- ing your own backyard. Use a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body. Even after being bitten, it takes several hours for the tick to transmit the patho- gen. Prompt removal can greatly reduce your chances of becoming ill.
