I clearly remember the day I stepped out of my house to play golf with friends. I was enjoying and exploring the area, the national Golf Course, until one of my shot landed in a bushy wooden spot, distant from a golf open area. I took out my golf ball and suddenly, I supposed an insect bit me. I felt extreme intolerable pain. This feeling was somewhat which I had never experienced anytime before.



This terrible lymes disease has changed my life completely.

I made an intensive research on Lyme diseases. I found that the cause of it is a tick bite. These tikes are mostly discovered in wooden areas. If not treated on time, this disease disrupts the entire functioning of the body. One tick bite has changed my life. However, my disease has taught me that we need to take the necessary precautions in life.

My motive is to make people alert of the unusual indications and risks associated with Lymes Disease.

Preventing Lyme Disease Tips.

1. Be dressed in long pants and fold them into socks when you go for hiking or walking in grassy or wooded areas. They must be tight at the wrists, ankles and waist.

Do you spend your time around in tree-covered impenetrably? Wear a heat.

2. Take a medical checkup frequently for any of lyme disease symptoms, in a case of you are going to work in the garden and hang out mostly around bushes.

3. Use tweezers to eliminate ticks. Don't use your hands to eliminate it. If you are using your fingers, wear gloves or use facial tissues and clean your hands after removal. Otherwise, there is a fair chance that you will get infected with Lymes Disease.

4. Give special attention everyday to uncovered hairy regions of the body, as ticks can be attached to these regions. Check your scalp too.

5. Avoid areas such as high grasses, gardens, marshes and beach locations, especially towns in the place which Lymes disease is plagued. You have to avoid hanging out in tick infested environment and surroundings, in endemic areas of lymes disease. In addition, you need to cut down in your recreational activities such as landscaping, forestry, hiking, camping and other of outside occupations.

6. After you finish your daily activities in garden or dense bushes, take off your clothes and thoroughly check all the skin exterior areas for any legions of Lymes Disease

7. Reduce the infection of lymes disease with the use of repellents and covering your whole body with protective clothes.

Apply tick and insect repellents that contain N,N-Diethyl-m-Toluamide (DEET) to the skin for additional safety from Lymes disease. You need to repeat these applications frequently for maximum effectiveness. Later, you need to wash it with soap and water. You can spray Permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid repellent spray on clothes. This solution kills ticks, when they come in contact.

8. Remove such habitats, which are suitable for ticks and their reservoir hosts as an example of leaf litter and woodpiles. Clear brush and trees and keep grass mowed. Additionally, you can call pesticides to destroy ticks if in large number. You need to keep out animals such as deer and mice, as ticks carry this infection from these animals.

9. Vaccination: We are lucky to have a vaccine to prevent lymes disease. On December 21, 1998, US Food and Drug Administration licensed Lyme disease vaccine. This vaccine is appropriate for persons between age groups between 15 to 70 years. Studies expose that, this vaccine is safe and efficient. So, you must be vaccinated in endemic areas to avoid being infected with lymes disease.
