If you find that your feet are infested with ticks, you should take immediate steps to remove them as quickly as possible to avoid infections and other health problems. Here are some treatment options:
Use gloves or fine forceps (tweezers): Place the glove or fine forceps tightly against the tick's head and gently pull out. Never pick or twist the tick with your fingers, as this can leave the chelipeds lodged in the skin. Also, be careful not to crush the tick to prevent it from releasing pathogens.
Clean the affected area: Clean the affected area and disinfect the skin. Disinfectants such as alcohol, iodophor or hydrogen peroxide can be used. At the same time, before handling the tick, it is recommended to wrap it in a towel or paper towel to prevent it from escaping during treatment.
Observe closely: If you do not remove the tick for a long time, or if the tick transmits pathogens, you may develop symptoms such as fatigue, fever, headache, joint pain, and shortness of breath. At this time, you need to seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment from a doctor.
Preventive measures: Ticks are common parasites that are usually found in forests, grasslands, grass and other environments. It is recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants when traveling in these areas, apply insect repellent, and frequently check your skin and clothing to remove potential dangers in a timely manner.
