Bedbugs bite .. don’t panic!

Lately disease 'Lyme' caused by bedbugs and can cause fever, chills, headache, and other complications get much attention. But not all bugs cause of this disease and not all bugs cause Lyme which will give it to you when bitten. Typically, a chinch to be at the skin for 24 to 48 hours in order to move the organism that causes Lyme disease was. We suggest you check yourself every day when you are in a place that may be inhabited by flea-rot. If you take this tick from your skin (by using the following instructions), you should preserve in a small jar of alcohol, so if a suspicious infection develops, lice can be investigated against the possibility of carrying Lyme disease. You do not need to see a doctor unless suffering from swollen or red-red around the bite (a sign of infection), ring-shaped rash (usually symptoms of Lyme disease), fever, or hives on the skin.

Take bedbugs carefully
To retrieve the bedbugs from your skin, insect mouth parts of these pins with clamps as close as possible to your skin, then slowly lift straight up. Do not try to pinch the body or head, because this section can be broken and his mouth was left under your skin. Use tongs to remove this other parts of the lice that area and rub antiseptic, such as alcohol or antibiotic ointment, to the bite marks.

Stop bleeding
If an animal bites cause severe bleeding, press the area with the palm of the hand. If the wound is large, tie a handkerchief, towel, or t-shirt tightly around the wound to put pressure on the area (not too tightly so that hinder the circulation). Do not move the area. When there are bitten on the legs, lift the foot so that is above the location of the heart. Meet the doctor as soon as possible.

Do not treat the bite like a pit scratch
A bite that leave scratches but did not penetrate the skin can simply be washed with soap and water, then smeared with antibiotic cream or ointment. Not so for a bite to penetrate or pierce the skin. This type requires a doctor's care. You need to see if the animal was sick or not. Notice of the animal. In wild animals, if he did not say anything (for example you can get close to a squirrel and give him food), then there must be something in the animal. The animal was sick. You can contact a doctor or veterinarian to determine if there is outbreak of rabies in wild animals or homes in your area.

Get anti-tetanus injections
If you are bitten or wild animals and pets that bite through the skin, you are advised to see a doctor to find out whether you need an injection of anti-tetanus or not (usually depending on the type of injury and time of your last tetanus shot). Animal and human bites become infected very easily because all these creatures have a lot of bacteria that live in the mouth. Also worth noting signs of infection, such as swollen and red.

Do not bite
Perhaps the best way to treat the bite is, before being bitten, avoid wild animals, although closer to you and do not touch the snakes, spiders, bees and anything that seems dangerous. Most animals and insects will not attack if not disturbed. Any animal that seems benign, such as squirrels, can carry ticks that cause disease. Anti-insect drug can also prevent you from being bitten when you are outside the home long.
