Netizens shot the whole process of eliminating ticks

I kept three dogs in the second half of last year to guard against thieves. After the dog is a little bigger, I found that their body is covered with ticks, small such as sesame, large such as soybeans, the big is mainly sucking a lot of dog blood belly swelling up. There are two types of ticks. One is a cylindrical type with feet under the body and not beyond the body, as recently reported in the newspaper (mainly this type); One kind of tick is flat, feet open outward, somewhat similar to spiders, but the small one is only larger than sesame, the big one is not more than mung bean, because this type of tick media has not introduced, it does not seem to be lethal, I will not introduce it. For the ticks on my yellow dog, I used to catch them manually in the early stage, and then crush them to death with my fingernails, which is the same way as the lice caught from the head and the fleas caught from the body when I was a child. Later also used some drugs, mainly two kinds of drugs, one is refined trichlorphon tablets, mainly used for cleaning, to wash the dog many times, found no effect. The other is a spray of lice mites, which is sprayed on the dog's body. The drug has some effect on ticks that can be sprayed, but less so on ticks that hide deep in hair bushes. All this time, I relied on only these two drugs and did not completely remove the ticks from the dog. I heard that a pet shop in the city has an imported medicine, the effect is very good, decided to buy it in the near future.

In July this year, I went back to my hometown for half a month, and when I came back, I found three dogs had been bitten by ticks. Ticks are mainly biting dogs in four places: First, ear holes, countless ticks fill the ear holes, mostly the size of mung beans, each one is fat and full of blood, I wonder if the dog has lost hearing; The second is between the toes, break two toes, see dense ticks in the red swelling between the flesh; The third is the neck, most of them are large, the hand touched the past, even through the thick hair, you can feel the soybean size tick; The fourth is the outer edge of the ear (pictured below), where the ticks are particularly small, but the number of clumps is surprisingly large.

Felt that it could not be removed artificially, I sprayed with lice mites once a day, for several days, and finally the ticks that could be sprayed were basically removed.

So far, my ticks are not as deadly as the media claims. Because, my town, and fruit fields have the habit of keeping dogs, and dogs are covered with ticks is not a new thing, I have not heard of anyone because of the bite of the tick fatal. I once heard a fruit farmer say that before, he had a thing behind the ear root, a little pain, he thought it was sarcoma, every day with his hand, want to have time to go to the hospital. One day, he told his relatives about this, and the relatives took a look for him, and it turned out to be a large tick full of blood, and they caught it and trampled it to death. Of course, it is a hard pull to catch down, no cigarette hot.

I wrote this post with these images for several reasons:

(1) It has been several days, and the words "anaplasmosis" and "fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome" have filled the media, and there have been no reports of substantive significance to the people.

Second, I did not find articles detailing the origin of ticks, which are widely available, and I do not know why they are not in the press.

Third, whether ticks on animals need to be completely eliminated, and how to eliminate them?

IV. Is there any difference between common ticks and toxic ticks? How to prevent them? What should governments do?

Yesterday, I used refined trichlorphon tablets to clean three local dogs, but today I saw no effect. There were small ticks crawling on the floor where the dog had been lying. In the morning, I manually removed ticks from three dogs, and probably eliminated more than 500 ticks.

We call the tick a grass tick, and those who have cattle at home are used to calling it a cow tick. Of course, I didn't know if the cow tick was a grass tick, and I didn't feel that the tick was so scared, perhaps because the disaster was still relatively far away. As long as the disaster does not engulf me, I feel very peaceful, which is the degenerate view that I have constantly honed.

The big ones were cleared, only the small ones were found

Manually clear

The whole ear can not be completely removed

If you can't catch it, crush it with the fingernails of both thumbs
