The Dangers of Tickborne Illnesses
In most cases, the wide majority of tickborne illnesses will share similar signs and symptoms, making a diagnosis more difficult. If symptoms occur in you or your pets within a few weeks, it is important to visit a healthcare provider or veterinarian for proper treatment. Some tickborne illnesses that may be obtained after attachment include:
- Powassan (POW) Virus
- Lyme Disease
- Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF)
- Ehrlichiosis
- Anaplasmosis
There is no way to tell if the tick attached to your pet is a carrier of these diseases until symptoms appear. Because these diseases are zoonotic, both humans and their pets can contract these illnesses from the same tick. For this reason, proper prevention and control of ticks is an absolute necessity.
