Lyme Disease at Epidemic Levels; Trust Amherst Tick Control for Defense

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 20, 2023

As we find ourselves in the heart of spring, moving steadily towards the inviting warmth of summer, it's an ideal time for outdoor activities. However, there's a tiny menace we can't overlook. Yes, ticks! They're not taking a break; their activity level increases as the weather heats up. It's important to note that these resilient pests can thrive until the temperatures dip to near-freezing levels - a climate shift that doesn't typically occur until late in the year.

Spring and summer tick control in Amherst is vital

While tiny in size, ticks pose a significant threat as they can transmit multiple diseases, a potential risk to our health that should not be underestimated. Lyme disease, which is highly prevalent in our region, is particularly concerning. Although a typical Lyme disease case is treatable with a standard course of antibiotics, it's notoriously difficult to diagnose initially, complicating effective treatment. In some instances, even after the clinical treatment, patients could experience post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. This condition could result in persistent pain, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties for more than six months post-treatment. Given the ongoing research into Lyme disease, its complexities, diagnosis, and treatment, the disease becomes particularly unsettling. The mere thought of contracting Lyme disease from an outdoor excursion is distressing. The optimal defense strategy is proactive tick prevention, which is achievable with professional tick control services.
