DEER TICK_BRADY TURNER
Text z Príbehu
- I am Walter a tick from Wallburg, NC and I carry the RICKETTSIAE microorganism
- The Environmental Protection Agency is not happy with me!
- The residents of Wallburg, NC have notified the EPA to report cases of hunters that are very sick with similar symptoms.
- EPA
- Two weeks after the start of Deer Hunting Season and with so many hunters sick, the EPA decided to interview the hunters and provide testing.
- Well it looks like I have caused some trouble! The RICKETTSIAE has caused multiple systemic infections
- Hi Doc, recently I have had hives, itchy skin, swollen face and shortness of breath. I also have a bad reaction to red meat.
- Well Chris, it looks like you have a systemic infection from direct contact with a tick.
- How could 1 bite from me cause so much sickness?
- With collaboration with the EPA we have determined you were bit by a Lone Star Tick. These ticks live in the woods and feed on the deer.
- We did see a lot of ticks this season, and it has been a very unusually hot season.
- The hot summer has been good for us to repopulate and spread the RICKETTSIAE organism.
- The tick hosts on the deer and the RICKETTSIAE organism (bacteria) grow and are transmitted by the ticks
- The Lone Star Tick causes a Exogenous Infection - an infection that enters the body from the environment
- You have Rickettsial disease which can be life threatening, but since this was caught early the symptoms should be limited and mild. Antibiotics should do the trick.
- Great! I will follow the instructions, but I will be ready to hunt next season!
