Family alert to dog tick
If you think you have a virus as we head into
warmer weather, and you suffer from chills, fever,
vomiting, headache, and muscle pain, be certain yn
are not suffering from an occasionally fatal case
of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Spotted Fever is carried by the dog and wood tick.
So Mom and Dad, be alert Chock your rhlliiw
often for tiny ticks. If you find one firmly
attached, don't Jerk ft off tearing the skin. This
increases the likelihood of contracting the fever.
Rather, dislodge the tick very gently and slowly with
tweezers, perhaps assisted by ice or a hot match tip.
