(517) 798-8681It's been noted that some people are more prone to mosquito bites than others due to the composition of their sweat. Additionally, some people are more prone to tick bites based on their blood type. However, even if you don't have the blood or sweat composition that these blood-sucking nuisances have, you're not immune, nor are your family and pets. These insects will feast on just about any blood when they're hungry enough. Fortunately, home mosquito treatment in Bath can decrease the population of these known disease-carrying pests to keep you and your family safe.
Backyard mosquito control in Bath is imperative for the safety and well-being of your family and pets, especially if you're all outside frequently.
First and foremost, mosquitoes in Michigan may carry the West Nile virus. It's the most common tick-borne illness in Michigan as well as the US. West Nile may cause you to vomit or have diarrhea. You might also experience headaches, joint pain, fatigue, body aches, or rash. Symptoms can last for weeks or months in some people, and there's currently no cure or vaccine to prevent this infection.
If you or your family sustain a bite from a mosquito in Bath, you could also develop eastern equine encephalitis -- a viral infection that can spread to the brain and cause swelling. In the more serious cases, you may experience a high fever, headaches, vomiting, chills, disorientation, and seizures. The infection may lead to dead or permanent mild to severe brain damage.
Both of these viruses may also affect your pets. Eastern equine encephalitis may be deadly to a pet in a serious case. The same applies to West Nile in pets.
Ticks are also vessels that can transport disease to humans and pets in the region. Two of the most common illnesses spread by ticks in Michigan include Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Lyme disease is usually not life-threatening in people. A person may initially have flu-like symptoms from this bacteria infection. Some people will develop a bull's eye rash around the bite If the condition progresses, you may develop the rash on other parts of your body as well. When not treated early, you could develop chronic Lyme, which could cause severe headaches and facial palsy. Some people also experience organ problems and Lyme arthritis from untreated Lyme. Keep in mind that pets are also at risk for Lyme.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a bacterial infection like Lyme. It causes a fever, rash, headache, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Typically, the rash appears within four to 10 days after the fever, if you develop the rash. Like Lyme, it's a commonly misdiagnosed issue because symptoms can mimic other infections, such as the flu. When you chalk the symptoms up to another issue or the doctor misdiagnosis it, it could cause life-threatening issues. Dogs and cats are also at risk for this infection.
You can, however, prevent these infections by seeing out the assistance of the best tick and mosquito control company in Bath.
