Learn
about Lyme disease and the tick-borne diseases that can infect your family. Ticks carry more than just Lyme disease! Including: 0 -Ehrlichia; o -Bartonella; 0 -Babesia; o -Q- Fever; 0 -Tularemia; o -Tick-borne Encephalitis; 0 -Mycoplasma; o -Relapsing Fever; 0 -Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and others. Never WAIT and SEE about a tick bite, please! Quickly and properly treated infections are less likely to progress to later stage or chronic disease. Sometimes tick bites are mistaken for spider bites! Some diseases may be spread by animal bites or scratches and from mosquitoes, fleas or lice. There is still so much to learn about Lyme disease and related infections. Sometimes Lyme disease and related infectious diseases are undiagnosed for years, even decades! Watch closely for symptoms after tick bites. Some never see a tick or a bulls-eye rash. Don't ignore tick-borne disease symptoms! If you feel sick, ask a doctor! SYMPTOMS may include: 0 -Tick bites; o -Fever; Flu symptoms; 0 -All kinds of Rashes; o -Muscle; Joint; Neck Pain; 0 -Body Aches; Weakness o -Light /Sound Sensitivity; 0 -Bells Palsy; Nerve pain; o -Insomnia; Poor memory 0 -Headaches; Numbness; o -Mood disorders; Confusion; 0 -Extreme Fatigue; Exhaustion Never let tick-borne diseases progress!

TICK
BYTES: - TICKS KNOW NO BOUNDARIES - Tick-borne diseases are spreading rapidly in many countries across the world -not only in Scandinavia, UK, Hungary, Scotland, USA, France, Germany, China, and Australia. - ONE BIG PROBLEM WITH TESTS - There is NO 100% accurate Lyme disease test currently available to detect infection or cure. more... - WHERE TICKS LIVE - Ticks can be found in and around leaf litter; grass; logs; animal fur; bird feeders; and deer, mice, squirrel, and other small animal habitats. - HOW TO REMOVE TICKS - There is only one right way. Promptly and properly remove ticks to avoid infection. Here's how... |

How
to Properly Remove A Tick Never let tick-borne infections progress ! Tick-borne diseases can affect any body part, organ, and any system of the body. Lyme disease and Syphilis are both caused by a type of bacteria called a spirochete. Tick-borne diseases can KILL! Ticks travel on mice! ALWAYS Get Ticks Tested! |
