Ear mites are widespread parasites of domestic and wild animals. For humans, in general, they are not very dangerous, although cases of parasitizing of the tick Otodectes cynotis and in humans have been reported. If the disease is started, then purulent otites develop - there is suppuration in the inner ear, which often leads to the spread of inflammation and its transition to meningitis. Next, we will talk more about the interesting features of the biology of ear mites and effective methods of dealing with these parasites ...
As a rule, when people talk about bed mites, they mean either bed bugs or dust mites. Bed bugs are typical parasites that feed on human blood and leave itchy bites on the body. But dust mites are not parasites and people do not bite, but when accumulated in pillows and mattresses can cause so-called tick sensitization, which often leads to painful asthma and chronic nasal congestion.We will go on to discuss situations of bedbugs and dust mites in bed and talk more ...
The most typical and common household mites are dust mites, which to a greater or lesser extent populate most apartments and houses. They do not bite neither people nor pets, but, nevertheless, pose a serious threat to human health, as they can cause allergic sensitization, which often leads to chronic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. What are these human neighbors and how to deal with them correctly? Let's understand ...
When a person finds on the body of a sucked tick, the question immediately becomes urgent whether the parasite is infected with tick-borne encephalitis virus or not. The following actions also depend on whether the tick is encephalitic: for example, whether it is necessary to donate blood for antibodies to an infection and whether it is necessary to carry out emergency prophylaxis of CE by injecting immunoglobulin. We can go on and talk about whether an encephalitic tick can be distinguished from a non-infected tick without putting a parasite for analysis ...
The dog tick (Ixodes ricinus) is one of the most widespread and widespread representatives of the group of Ixodes. Like all other species of this group, it is a dangerous parasite that feeds on the blood of more than 100 species of animals. Among his hosts, an important role is played by humans and domestic animals, therefore the name “dog” does not reflect the parasite's food preferences in any way ...
Although tick-borne encephalitis usually begins abruptly, however, after a tick bite, it is always preceded by an incubation period during which the amount of virus in the human body gradually increases. Next, we will talk about how long this period lasts and what symptoms may suggest in advance that the infection did happen ...
Red-mite mites - a relatively little-known extensive family of arthropods. Adult babies are free-living predators that live in the soil and do not pose a danger to humans, but their larvae are active parasites that can, including, feed on the blood of humans and domestic animals.Redhead bites are painful and usually massive. Such contacts are also dangerous due to the fact that these red ticks are carriers of tsutsugamushi fever pathogens, a serious natural focal disease caused by rickettsia ...
All the main methods of self-control of dust mites in an apartment can be divided into several types: chemical (using acaricidal preparations), mechanical (this includes various methods for removing dust) and thermal (treatment with hot steam, freezing, washing at high temperature). However, in order to reliably get rid of dust mites, it is advisable to combine all these methods at once, since individually they may not give the desired result ...
Ticks that are carriers of dangerous diseases can be found far not only in wild forests, but also very close to human habitation - in city parks, small groves, in a country house or a vegetable garden. About where exactly ticks live in different locations, whether they are able to jump from trees and how to minimize the likelihood of contact with them, we'll talk further ...
The owners of private houses and apartments often do not even suspect that in the ordinary household dust, in carpets and pillows, many thousands of microscopic creations, the so-called dust mites, are often swarming. They do not bite a person and do not live on his body, but feed only on dead particles of the epidermis, which are abundantly present in house dust. However, despite this seemingly peaceful and peaceful existence, dust mites are capable of delivering very serious trouble to a person ...
