No need to panic!
Doctors advise not to panic if you or your child was bitten by a tick. The fact is that frightened of stories about the infections, a carrier which may be a tick, and on the consequences, which may cause Lyme disease (borelius), or encephalitis, are likely to make more trouble.
For removal of the tick from the skin of the person should be approached with common sense and armed with the rules, which repeat physicians:
1. The first person who will get the tick should wash their hands with soap and put on either sterile gloves or wrap your fingers with a bandage. This is done in order to not add to the victim from any more infections.
2. Take the tweezers and disinfect it with any substance containing alcohol.
3. Try to just grab the tweezers the tick, but not to push him.
4. Set the tweezers perpendicular to the spot where the tick was, quietly and without sudden movements to scroll it clockwise, but gently pull the tick upwards.
5. Taken to put the tick in a glass jar and cover with the lid, then to include SES in your district in terms of its danger in terms of the availability of Borel or other bacteria.
6. Be sure to disinfect the bite with an alcoholic solution, iodine, vodka, Cologne.
To understand whether a person is infected after a tick bite, you just need to pass a General analysis of blood and show it to the physician or infectious disease. It is desirable to donate blood and to carry the tick to the lab no later than 2 days after the bite. By the way, a tick check for signs of infections in the SES can only be the case if he was alive. Therefore, in the Bank with him would put a piece of cotton wool soaked in water. But if, after its withdrawal he died, then the lab may not carry, because it’s pointless.
