Uma yenza lokhu, ingadlulisela amabhaktheriya, amagciwane, kanye nama-protozoan, okuyizinto eziphilayo ezineseli elilodwa ezihlala emzimbeni wekhaza. Lena yindlela izifo ezidluliselwa ngayo. Ezinye izifo ziyingozi kakhulu futhi zingaba yingozi empilweni.

Nazi ezinye izifo ezingadluliselwa ngamakhizane:

• Isifo seLyme
• I-Tularemia
• I-Ehrlichiosis
• Umkhuhlane onamabala e-Rocky Mountain
• I-Anaplasmosis
• I-Babesiosis

Kunezinye izifo ezifana nalezi:

• Umkhuhlane wama-tick waseColorado
• Igciwane lePowassan
• Isifo sokuqubuka esihambisana ne-Southern tick (STARI)
• Ukukhubazeka kwamathe - isimo sokukhubazeka okubangelwa amathe
• Umkhuhlane onamabala - umkhuhlane obangela amabala emzimbeni
• Umkhuhlane obuyela emuva - umkhuhlane obuya njalo

Kwenzekani emzimbeni uma umkhaza uluma? Ziyini izimpawu?

Cabanga ngakho, ngezinye izikhathi ungase ungazizwa ngisho nokulunywa yizimpukane. Esikhathini esiningi, akubikho ubuhlungu noma ukulunywa ekuqaleni. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ungakuzwa. Akuzona zonke izimpukane ezibangela ukugula. Ngezinye izikhathi ungasusa izimpukane ngaphambi kokuba amagciwane angene emzimbeni wakho.

Kungase kube nokubomvu okuthile, ukuqubuka, noma iqhubu elincane endaweni yokulunywa yizimpukane. Kodwa-ke, ezinye izimpawu zivela kuphela lapho isifo siqala ukuqhubekela phambili.

Lezi yizimpawu ezivamile zezifo eziningi ezithwalwa yizikhaza:

• Imfiva

Amanye amaqhubu angabonisa uhlobo lokutheleleka. Isibonelo, umkhuhlane onamabala eRocky Mountain uvela njengamachashazi amancane abomvu noma ansomi (petechiae).

Isibonakaliso esiphawulekayo sesifo seLyme ukuqubuka okukhula kancane kancane futhi kubukeke sengathi "yiso lenkunzi." Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-erythema migrans. Ukuqubuka okufanayo kuyenzeka naku-Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI). Kubizwa nangokuthi i-Lone Star Tick Rash.

Amanye amabala abomvu noma amnyama amancane nje, futhi kungaba nzima ukuwabona.

Kubukeka kanjani ukulunywa yizimpukane futhi kuzwakala kanjani?

Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, ungase ungakwazi ukuthola ikhithi kuze kube yilapho selivele linamathele emzimbeni wakho futhi likhula. Yingakho kubalulekile ukuhlola umzimba wakho kahle uma usezindaweni lapho kungenzeka khona ukuthi kukhona ikhithi.

Kukuphi emzimbeni lapho imikhaza iluma khona kakhulu?

Amakhizane angazinamathisela noma kuphi emzimbeni. Kodwa aya ezindaweni azithandayo. Okusho ukuthi, ezindaweni lapho isikhumba sithambile khona futhi igazi lihamba kahle khona . Kubantu, lezi yizindawo:

• Ikhanda nentamo
• Phakathi kwemilenze
• Imilenze, ikakhulukazi ngemuva kwamadolo
• Ngaphakathi emhumeni
• Ngaphakathi noma eduze kwendlebe
• Ngaphansi kwekhwapha
• Eduze kwesinqe

Ngezinye izikhathi ungathola futhi ugcine ikhikhi elikulumile. Amakhikhi awakulumi kaningi njengezinye izinambuzane. Ngokuvamile aluma kanye, bese ebhoboza esikhumbeni. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, uma ungathola futhi ususe ikhikhi, wena noma udokotela wakho ningabona ukuthi hlobo luni lwekhikhi. Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ngabe yikhikhi elithwala izifo.

Udokotela wakho uzokubuza ngomlando wakho wezokwelapha, ukuthi ngabe uke waba sezindaweni lapho kukhona khona amakhizane, futhi ngezinye izikhathi azokwenza nokuhlolwa kwegazi.

Yini okufanele uyenze uma ulunywa yi-tick?

Uma ulunywe yikhikhi, indlela engcono kakhulu yokuyisusa ukulandela lezi zinyathelo:

• Thatha ama-tweezers abushelelezi bese ubamba ikhanda le-tick eduze, ezingeni lesikhumba sakho.
• Bese udonsa kancane, kodwa ngokuqinile, kuze kube yilapho ikhikhi lisuswa esikhumbeni.
• Ungawuchobozi umzimba wekhakhane. Ungawuthinti umkhakhane ngezandla zakho. Uma wenza kanjalo, ungase utheleleke ngebhaktheriya emzimbeni wekhakhane.

• Uma kuvela ukuqhuma (ukuqhuma kwesikhumba) endaweni yokulunywa yizimpukane noma kwenye indawo emzimbeni.
• Uma uqala ukuba nezimpawu ezifana nomkhuhlane ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemva kokulunywa yikhizane.
• Uma kukhona ubuhlungu noma amabhamuza agcwele amanzi.

Zikhona yini izinto ongeke uzidle ngemva kokulunywa yizimpukane?

Yebo, uhlobo oluthile lokulunywa yizimpukane lungabangela isimo esibizwa ngokuthi i-alpha-gal syndrome . Lokhu kubizwa nangokuthi i-alpha-gal allergy, i-red meat allergy, noma i-tick bite meat allergy.

I-Alpha-gal uhlobo lwe-molecule kashukela etholakala enyameni (ezincelisayo) nakweminye imikhiqizo eyenziwe ezincelisayo. Ayitholakali kubantu.

Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi ukulunywa yizimpukane kungabangela i-alpha-gal syndrome. Izimpawu zingavela emahoreni amabili kuya kwayisithupha ngemva kokudla inyama, imikhiqizo yobisi, noma ukuthatha imithi eyenziwe nge-gelatin. Izimpawu zingafaka phakathi ukucasuka kwesisu, okufana nalokhu:

• Isicanucanu
• Ukuhlanza
• Ubuhlungu besisu (ngezinye izikhathi bukhulu)

Kwezinye izimo, odokotela bangase banqume ukuqala ukwelashwa ngaphambi kokuba kutholakale ukuthi kunesifo esiqondile, ikakhulukazi uma kusolwa ukuthi isifo seLyme sinesifo. Kwezinye izindawo, iphesenti lamakhizane angadlulisela isifo seLyme lingafinyelela ku-50%.

Ngokuvamile, ukulunywa kakhulu yizimpukane akudingi ama-antibiotic.

Ungayinciphisa kanjani ingozi yokulunywa yizimpukane?

Uma uzokwenza noma yimuphi umsebenzi wangaphandle, ikakhulukazi endaweni enehlathi, kubalulekile ukulandela lezi zinyathelo ezilula ukuze uzivikele ezifweni:

• Sebenzisa izinto zokuxosha izinambuzane. Faka izinto zokuxosha eziqukethe i-DEET engu-20% noma ngaphezulu (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) ezindaweni eziveziwe zomzimba nezingubo. Ungasebenzisa futhi ikhemikhali ebizwa ngokuthi i-permethrin ezingutsheni. Lezi ziyatholakala ezitolo zezemidlalo. Funda njalo ilebula lomkhiqizo futhi ulisebenzise ngendlela efanele.
• Ngemva kokubuya ngaphandle , hlola ukuthi azikho yini izimpukane. Zingahlala noma kuphi.
