Inform and Prepare Yourself
Tracking Lyme disease is challenging. There are difficulties with tracking prevalence. However, data collected over the past three decades suggests that the disease’s prevalence is rising. One of the most effective ways of protecting yourself from Lyme disease is informing yourself and preparing adequately.
You should pay special attention to public advisories concerning deer ticks and risk areas. You shouldn’t stop at that. Prepare accordingly when you receive information. For instance, you should wear appropriate clothing, use repellants, inspect your body thoroughly, shower frequently when you come out of high-risk areas, learn the proper technique for removing ticks, etc.
You should know the symptoms of Lyme disease-like rashes. Ideally, you should be able to spot a rash or bite caused by a tick easily. It’s also recommendable to familiarize yourself with the treatments that work. Knowing that Lyme disease is easy to treat should offer a lot of comfort to many.
