• Ukuzizwa ukhathele kakhulu futhi ukhathele .
• Ukucasuka kwesikhumba noma ukuqubuka (amaqhubu).
• Ngezinye izikhathi, indawo yokulunywa yizimpukane ingakhula ibe yinxeba elivulekile (isilonda noma isilonda) .
• Ama-lymph node abuhlungu , avuvukile.

Ngisho noma ungakhumbuli ukulunywa yi-flea, kufanele umtshele ukuthi uke waba sendaweni enjalo.

Futhi, ukuhlolwa kwegazi noma ukwakheka kwamagciwane kungenziwa ukuze kutholakale ukuthi kukhona yini ukutheleleka. Uma udokotela esola ukuthi ukutheleleka kwamagciwane kuyimbangela, angase akwazi ukuqala ukwelashwa ngokushesha ngaphandle kokulinda umbiko wokukhula kwamagciwane, njengoba ukwelashwa kusenesikhathi kubaluleke kakhulu kwezinye izifo.

Ingabe ikhona ikhambi lalesi sifo se-Lone Star flea? Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha?

Akukho ukwelashwa okukodwa noma ukwelashwa kwazo zonke lezi zifo, ngoba izimbangela zazo zihlukile.

• Ama-antibiotic anqunyelwe ukutheleleka ngamagciwane. Lawa kufanele athathwe njengoba nje kunqunyelwe udokotela, isikhathi esinqunyiwe.
• Ngokuvamile akukho ukwelashwa okuqondile kwezifo ezibangelwa amagciwane. Ukwelashwa kuhilela ukwelapha izimpawu (isibonelo, ukunikeza umuthi womkhuhlane nobuhlungu) nokusiza umzimba ukulwa nesifo futhi uphulukiswe.

Uma izimpawu zakho zinkulu, kungadingeka ukuthi ulaliswe esibhedlela futhi unikezwe uketshezi olungena emzimbeni njenge-saline, ama-antibiotic e-IV, noma ama-painkiller. Ngesikhathi usekhaya , uthola ukuphumula okwanele, uphuza uketshezi oluningi olufana namanzi nejusi yezithelo, futhi uthatha imithi ethengiswa ngaphandle kwemithi kadokotela uma udokotela wakho ekuncoma ukuthi kungakusiza ukuthi ululame ngokushesha.

Kufanele ngimbone nini udokotela? Yini okufanele ngiyenze uma kunesimo esiphuthumayo?

Uma ulunywe yi-flea, noma uke waba sendaweni lapho kungase kube khona i-flea, futhi ubhekene nanoma yiziphi izimpawu ezingavamile, qiniseka ukuthi ubona udokotela ngokushesha.Ungalibali, ngoba izifo eziningi zingalawulwa ngokwelashwa kusenesikhathi.

Yiya eMnyangweni Wezimo Eziphuthumayo (ETU) oseduze ngokushesha, ikakhulukazi uma unezinye zalezi zimpawu:

* Uma umkhuhlane ungaphezu kwama-Fahrenheit angu-103 (40 Celsius).

Kwenzekani uma uthola lesi sifo? Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukululama?

Ezimweni eziningi, uma lezi zifo ze-Lone Star flea zitholakala kusenesikhathi futhi zelashwa kahle, zingalapheka ngokuphelele. Kodwa-ke, kungathatha amasonto ambalwa ukuthi umzimba ululame ngokugcwele. Ungase uzizwe ukhathele futhi ube nezinhlungu izinsuku ezimbalwa. Okwamanje ayikho ikhambi le- Alpha-gal syndrome . Uma uba nayo, kuzodingeka ugweme ukudla, iziphuzo, kanye nemithi onayo i-allergy impilo yakho yonke.

Uzivikela kanjani ezifweni ezidluliselwa yizimpukane zeLone Star?

Lena yingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu. Into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukuvimbela ukulunywa yizimpukane. Kunezinto ezimbalwa ongayenza ukuze wenze lokhu:

• Gcina utshani egcekeni lakho bungadluli amasentimitha angu-5. Lokhu kuzonikeza izimpukane izindawo ezimbalwa zokucasha.
• Uma uhamba ezindaweni ezinamahlathi noma ezindaweni ezinotshani obude, sebenzisa izindlela ezilungisiwe ngangokunokwenzeka kuphela.
• Sebenzisa izifutho zezinambuzane eziqukethe amakhemikhali avunyelwe, njenge -DEET , axosha izimpukane. Landela imiyalelo ngqo lapho uzifaka esikhumbeni sakho.
• Uma uya ehlathini noma ezindaweni ezinotshani obude, gqoka izingubo ezimboza umzimba wakho ngangokunokwenzeka. Amabhulukwe amade, amahembe anemikhono emide, izicathulo, kanye namasokisi. Kungcono nakakhulu uma ungafaka ibhulukwe lakho emasokisini akho, okunciphisa amathuba okungena kwama-fleas. Ukugqoka izingubo ezinombala okhanyayo kwenza kube lula ngama-fleas ukukubona.
• Ngemva kokuba uphumile, ikakhulukazi ngemva kokuhamba ehlathini, hlola umzimba wakho ukuthi awunazo yini izimpukane. Hlola amakhwapha akho, imbobo, ikhanda, ngemuva kwezindlebe zakho, kanye nangemuva kwamadolo akho. Kungumqondo omuhle ukuba omunye umuntu ahlole izindawo ongaziboni (njengomhlane wakho noma isikhumba sakho sekhanda).
• Buza udokotela wakho wezilwane ngendlela engcono kakhulu yokuvikela izilwane zakho ezifuywayo (njengezinja namakati) ezimpukaneni.Kunemithi yezintwala ebafanele.
• Hlola izilwane zakho njalo ukuthi azinazo yini izimpukane, ikakhulukazi uma sezibuyile ekudlaleni ngaphandle.

Uma uchitha isikhathi njalo ezindaweni ezinotshani obude noma emahlathini lapho kungenzeka khona ukuthi kube nezimpukane, kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ungawagwema kanjani nokuthi ungawasusa kanjani kahle uma ubona eyodwa emzimbeni wakho .

Uma ulunywa yi-flea, khuluma nodokotela mayelana nezimpawu okufanele uziqaphele nokuthi kufanele ubonane nini nodokotela . Khumbula, abantu abaningi balulama ngokuphelele uma bethola ukwelashwa ngokushesha. Ngakho-ke kungcono ukuhlala unolwazi futhi uphephile, kunokuba ukhathazeke ngokungadingekile!

I- Lone Star Tick, izifo ezithwalwa yizikhakhayi, i-Alpha-gal syndrome, ukungezwani komzimba nenyama ebomvu, ukuvikelwa kwezimpukane, ukulunywa yizinambuzane
