Tucked between the Atlantic coastline and the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, South Carolina is a region of stunning natural beauty. However, for residents of this scenic state, the threat of tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease is a growing concern. At Mosquito Squad of Greenville, we are committed to providing the community with robust tick control solutions, designed to help safeguard you and your loved ones from Lyme disease.

Lyme disease South Carolina: A silent scourge

Transmitted by the bite of infected black-legged ticks, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that can have serious long-term effects if left untreated. The symptoms can be easy to miss or misinterpret. They usually start with flu-like signs such as fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, and sometimes, a distinct 'bullseye' rash around the bite site. If undiagnosed or untreated, Lyme disease can progress to more serious symptoms, including severe headaches, heart palpitations, facial paralysis, and episodes of dizziness or shortness of breath. In some cases, it can also lead to chronic joint inflammation (Lyme arthritis), neurological disorders, and cognitive defects.
