In Mathews and across the country, people are dealing with the consequences of serious illnesses transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks.

Mosquito bites may result in any of the following:

• West Nile Virus (WNV): Most human cases are asymptomatic, but severe cases can result in permanent neurological damage or death.
• Zika Virus: Aside from birth defects like microcephaly, it is associated with other neurological conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome.
• Heartworm: This disease primarily affects dogs but can also infect cats, ferrets, and wild mammals; it damages the heart muscles and major blood vessels.
• Malaria: Caused by parasites, it is transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes, with symptoms including severe shaking chills and high fever.
• Chikungunya: Known for causing debilitating muscle and joint pain, which can persist for weeks or months, often resulting in significant disability.

The following diseases are associated with ticks:

• Lyme Disease: Transmitted by deer ticks, it can cause long-term joint inflammation and neurological symptoms if left untreated.
• Babesiosis: Sometimes misdiagnosed as malaria, it can cause severe complications such as organ failure in individuals without a spleen.
• Ehrlichiosis: This bacterial illness is often marked by low white blood cell counts, elevated liver enzymes, and anemia.
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: Distinguished by a sudden onset of fever and a rash that often starts on the wrists and ankles before spreading centrally.
• Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI): Results in a rash similar to Lyme disease, though it's generally less severe and resolves quickly with antibiotics.
• Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever: Characterized by cycles of high fever followed by periods of remission, it is known for being transmitted in rustic, rodent-infested environments.
