As a resident of the Northeast, you know how pleasant the outdoor living season can be. Spending time out in the yard, as simple as it is, can be one of summer’s most enjoyable pastimes, allowing us to gather with friends and family as well as nurture our yards. A common downside of wandering our yards, however, is the pests that like to hide around the property. Mosquitoes are one of the most annoying insects around, but they aren’t the most dangerous insects in your yard. Ticks take that title. So, how can you tell when you’ve been bitten by a tick, and how can you keep most of them off your yard in the first place?
Living in our region means you need to stay aware of the risks associated with ticks. Lyme disease, in particular, is a huge concern throughout much of the Northeast, and for good reason. The CDC estimates that nearly 500,000 people in the U.S. contract this disease each year from tick bites, so it is vital that you see the warning signs. Lyme disease isn’t transmitted immediately. It can take 24-48 hours for an attached tick to pass the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease into your bloodstream. Ideally, you’ll be able to sense a tick much earlier than this time frame, but many ticks can go unnoticed due to their small size. So, one of the clearest indicators of Lyme disease transmission is a bullseye-shaped rash at the site of your bite. However, this warning sign doesn’t always appear. Lyme disease, in its early stages, can resemble the common cold by causing fatigue, fevers, and muscle soreness. In long-term cases, Lyme disease can start to cause memory issues and swelling of vital organs, meaning you should always check with a doctor if you think you may have been bitten by an infected tick.
