These questions and answers are the just the basics and are here for your preventative measures to protect yourself and loved ones from being bitten. It is also here to share the updated scientifically proven information that bunks out the myths that we have been taught thus far.
I will come back and answer these questions, but for now, read below.
-Do all ticks carry disease?
-How soon do ticks actually take to transmit the diseases?
-How long until you start noticing symptoms of sickness and what are typical symptoms?
-What are signs of a infected tick bite look like?
-Should you get checked out immediately after getting a tick bite?
-What type of medical treatments are there?
-What type of test did you take?
This picture is the actual tick that bit me & has nearly taken my life every single day the past 1.5 years. It is smaller than the size of a poppy/mustard seed.
This is no joke. From this little tiny tick, it put deadly diseases into my body such as: Lyme, Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichiosis, & Tick Borne Relapsing Fever.
I share this not to scare you, but because knowledge is power. And had I known what I know now back then, this may never have happened to me. It is my sole duty to educate you & you can make your own informed decisions. I have much more info to share. Check out my website. Podcast coming soon on all this too!
Prevent this from happening to you. Ticks are at an all time high! They are in your grass in your front yard & they are definitely ALL over the fields especially this year more than ever.
Lint roll yourself all over after being outside!
Wear essential oil on you and your clothes!
Spread clove around the perimeter of your house (doorways/windows).
Get dog mints and clean your fur babies, especially inside their paws
and ears
Ticks LOVE crevices!
They only need to literally bite you to give you deadly diseases. The 12 hour myth is a MYTH!
