ticks - annoying small creatures
Friday, 3. July 2009, 20:50:50
Yesterday I was jogging in the evening. For me jogging is really good to calm down after the whole day in front of the screen.
Normally my "jogging route" is a small way to the neighbour town and back to home. The way is alongside a railroad. In the neighbour town I cross that railroad on a level-crossing and ran back.
But yesterday I decided to run on an other way. Near my home is a beautiful forest where you can see very often other joggers.
Through the forest there is a very nice pathway with some branching paths. It's really cool there and of course not so hot like directly in the sun. The floor cover is also good to run because I usually used to run on asphalt.
Well I did one big round on the big pathway through the forest and decided to run a smaller one again. So after the big round I chose an other smaller pathway. Well the smaller pathway I chose was not a good choice I realised later. At the end of the small round the path became more and more overgrown.
When I came back after the second round I immediately checked if I have some ticks on my cloths. Well I found two ticks there. Just three minutes later the first one crawled on my arm. It seems that small creature crawled to my arm when I had the hands on my legs.
Really strange. But I blowed it away. The other one I found on my t-shirt. In this case I was glad I usually use long jogging trousers.
Well when I came home I checked again if I have some ticks on my body because these small creatures are often vectors of a number of diseases and the area where I live is a region at risk in this
case. I didn't found others there. Well I really don't like these small creatures.
I will go jogging there again, but next time I will definitely choose the normal pathway. Because there you don't have such problems in normal case.
Best wishes,
Heiko

Yeah, I prefer not to have contact with ticks, because I live in a region at risk here. Unfortunately it's not seldom people become a very bad disease from that. So I really try to avoid it.
Hmm I don't remember I had a tick bite so far.

you really don't care? Well much people became a disease from ticks. The problem was not the bite. But very much people noticed it too late. An common disease from ticks can be Borreliosis or TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) here.
I often hear people cannot really walk anymore, because of Borreliosis.
Well therefore it's better to take care.
Best wishes,
Heiko

it's a pity you got lime disease. I also hope it's not so bad.
I read about there is a antibiotics therapy because the disease is caused by a bacterium. But I don't know so much about.

Lyme disease is the same as Borreliosis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_Disease
"Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is an emerging infectious disease caused by at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia.[1] Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is the predominant cause of Lyme disease in the United States, whereas Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are implicated in most European cases."
That's ok Heiko, I'm just glad I could clear it up.

I think this is not good when the doctor said this. Maybe you can contact an other doctor? Well I would ask an other doctor when the first one tell me don't treat it.
I really hope the disease is not so bad.

thanks a lot. I also checked German Wikipedia. An other word in German is "Lyme-Krankheit" which means "Lyme disease".
Thank you very much, Carol.

Zum joggen komme ich leider nicht mehr viel, da ich so viel zu tun habe. Aber wenn ich wieder joggen gehe, dann werde ich auch wieder mehr im Wald joggen gehen. Dort macht es viel Spass.
