Chelan Trail上有響尾蛇和蜱(ticks), 不要穿短褲,赤裸上身. 晚上用塑料袋包著你的登山靴, 防止響尾蛇走進你的靴子睡覺.
被蜱咬傷的症狀:
If you have the following symptoms within days or weeks after being bitten by a tick, please report them to your family doctor immediately. Tell your doctor when and where you were bitten by a tick. If possible, keep any removed ticks and take them to your doctor who may need to have the ticks identified. Ticks can be stored in any sealed container in a fridge or freezer.
1. General symptoms of fever headache, muscle and joint pains, fatigue or weakness of the muscles of the face.
2. Skin rash, especially one that looks like a "Bull's Eye". It may or may not be where the bite was.
3. In some cases paralysis may occur. The paralysis usually starts in the feet and legs and gradually works its way up to the upper body, arms and head. This paralysis can develop from within a few hours to several days.
預防蜱咬傷措施:
The following precautions will decrease the likelihood of tick attachment.
1. Wear high boots or tuck pant cuffs into socks. Tuck shirt into pants. Do not wear short pants. Application of commercial insect repellents containing diethyl toluamide (DEET) to the pants may assist in repelling ticks.
2. If possible, avoid game trails or old roads overgrown or closely lined with vegetation. Tick levels may be high in areas frequented by animals.
3. When resting, sit on a bare rock, a ground sheet, or a vegetation-free area instead of stretching out on vegetation.
4. Make daily examinations for ticks, paying particular attention to the pubic region, the base of the skull, and the scalp. Check the backs of everyone in the group and carefully inspect any children. Clothes should be closely examined for ticks, especially near the collar, after they have been hanging overnight.
