Tick Fever
(Continued from Page 1)
Awareness and personal protective measures will prevent most cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Since ticks will explore the body before attaching to the skin, there is usually time to remove them before infection is transmitted. Inspect for ticks on the body twice a day. Ticks should be removed slowly with tweezers or by grasping near the head, or pulled off by grasping with fingers, using facial tissue. Rapid removal is more likely to result in breaking off the mouth parts of the tick.
Common Symptoms
The symptoms of the disease are similar to other common diseases and generally begin three to twelve days following an exposure to an infected tick. In some instances there is no recollection of a tick bite. Symptoms include a high fever, severe headache, muscular adfting and eye irritation when exposed to light. By the second day the fever usually increases and remains high. From two to six days after the onset of fever, a rash is usually noted, first on the arms and legs, (including palms of hands and soles of feet). Sometimes no rash is present.
Early treatment of this infection is essential to prevent fatalities. If there is any possibility of the onset of tick fever, see a physician without delay. No vaccine for this disease is currently available.
