BABESIOSIS
PREVENTION |
|
|
|
The only prevention for babesiosis is to
minimize exposure to ticks by staying on the trail when walking
through the woods, avoiding tall grasses, wearing long sleeves and
tucking pant legs into socks, wearing insect repellent, and checking
for ticks after an outing. Remove a tick as soon as possible by
grasping the tick with tweezers and gently pulling. Splenectomized
people should avoid northeastern coastal regions during the tick
season. |
