In recent years, there have been many cases of infection with the new bunyavirus due to tick bites, causing "fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome". It is a viral infectious disease that is mainly transmitted by ticks and can also be contracted through the blood or bloody secretions of a sick person.
The main characteristics are acute onset and high mortality, which is generally dominated by fever, diarrhea and vomiting in the early stage, and can damage the heart, liver, kidney and other organs in the later stage, and eventually lead to death due to multiple organ failure.
Therefore, for the inconspicuous thing of ticks, Uncle still wants to remind everyone to pay more attention!
If it is stung in a short period of time, it is not harmful to deal with it immediately. However, if it is more than 24-36 hours, you may become infected with the pathogen.
Most importantly, don't just pull it out by hand!
