Dealing with a Tick-Borne Disease
There are many so-called natural cures for the symptoms associated with tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, but medical studies do not back these options. Instead, it is typically necessary for a tick bite victim to receive antibiotics in order to fight off the illness. Therefore, prevention is truly the best method for dealing with a tick-borne disease, especially during a disaster situation. If you have been bitten at any other time, it is best to keep the tick in a plastic bag if possible so that it can be identified. The deer tick is the main carrier of Lyme disease, so a positive identification can help your doctor determine which steps to take next.
