Just make sure that the water temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit or lower and limit use to 15 -20 minutes at a time.

Question: Where do cases of Lyme disease happen?
Answer: â It won't stop in the foreseeable future.â Most cases are clustered in 14 states in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, but Lyme has been reported as far south as Mexico, and increasingly, in Canada.
Question: What is the best way to prevent a tick bite to avoid Lyme disease?
Answer: Ticks can't fly or jump, but instead live in shrubs and bushes, and grab onto someone when they pass by. To avoid getting bitten: Wear pants and socks in the woods, areas with lots of trees, and while handling fallen leaves Wear a tick repellent on your skin and clothing that has DEET, lemon oil, or eucalyptus. For even more protection, use the chemical permethrin on clothing and camping gear. Shower within 2 hours after coming inside, if possible. Look at your skin and wash ticks out of your hair. Put your clothing and any exposed gear into a hot dryer to kill whatever pests might remain.
Question: What do I do if there's a tick under my skin with Lyme disease?
Answer: If parts of the tick remain in the skin, also try to remove them with the tweezers. After everything is out, clean the bite area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Mead says you're not likely to get infected if you remove the tick within 36 to 48 hours. Some people have an allergic reaction to ticks, so they'll notice a bite right away.
Question: How is Lyme disease diagnosed?
Answer: Doctors diagnose it based on symptoms and a history of tick exposure. Two-step blood tests are helpful if used correctly. But the accuracy of the test depends on when you got infected. In the first few weeks of infection, the test may be negative, as antibodies take a few weeks to develop. Tests aren't recommended for patients who don't have Lyme disease symptoms.
Question: What affects the prevalence of Lyme disease?
Answer: In some cases, symptoms can appear months after the bite. But the deer population has rebounded as reforestation took place over several decades, meaning the tick population has risen and expanded as well. Deer and white-footed mice, which transmit Lyme disease to ticks that bite them, are moving closer to humans as their habitats disappear, says Taege. Another reason: Warmer weather and mild winters may bring more people outside, raising their chances of being bitten, particularly in Lyme-prone areas, Taege says. â We've seen an expansion [of ticks] in areas in which the vectors live, and we've slowly seen more Lyme disease.â That doesn't mean you should be afraid of outdoor activities, as long as you take precautions to avoid tick bites, Aucott says.
Question: How prevalent is Lyme disease?
Answer: The CDC estimates there are more than 300,000 cases of Lyme infection in the U. S. each year -- or 10 times as many as what is reported. Infection is more common in males up to age 15 and between the ages of 40 and 60, says Taege. â These are people who are more likely to play outside, and go camping, hunting, and hiking,â he says.
Question: What areas have the most cases of Lyme disease?
Answer: Cases of Lyme disease -- traditionally more prevalent in the Northeast -- have now been found in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, a new study from Quest Diagnostics found. The CDC says 95% of confirmed cases in 2016 were in 14 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In the Southern U. S., which is more prone to hot weather, ticks tend to stay under leaf litter and don't come up higher to feed much, Aucott says -- âticks don't like to dry out.â This means Southern ticks don't transmit Lyme as frequently because they don't tend to feed on humans.
Question: What symptoms does Lyme disease cause?
Answer: â Ten percent of people don't get better after antibiotics,â Aucott says. Scientists point to a variety of causes for the spread of Lyme infection.
Question: What are the early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease?
Answer: Early signs and symptoms include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and swollen lymph nodes -- all common in the flu. In up to 80% of Lyme infections, a rash is one of the first symptoms, Aucott says. Heart palpitation or an irregular heartbeat Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord Shooting pains, numbness, or tingling in the hands or feet About 20% to 30% of Lyme rashes have a âbull's-eyeâ appearance -- concentric circles around a center point -- but most are round and uniformly red and at least 5 centimeters (about 2 inches) across, Aucott says. â Most are just red,â he says. â They do not have the classic ring within a ring like the Target logo.â The rash expands gradually over a period of days and can grow to about 12 inches across, the CDC says. It may feel warm to the touch, but it rarely itches or is painful, and it can appear on any part of the body.
Question: What should I do if a tick with Lyme disease bites my dog?
Answer: The more ticks in your region, the likelier it is that your furry pal will bring them home. â On the flip side, low rates of exposure in dogs is a good indicator that Lyme is not a problem in the area.â And they can get sick. About 10% of dogs with Lyme disease will become ill. Common symptoms, which may show up 7-21 days after a tick bite, are lameness -- your dog will appear to be walking on eggshells -- a fever, lethargy, and enlarged lymph nodes. Dogs also get antibiotics for treatment.
Question: What are tips to help me recover from oral surgery?
Answer: After your appointment, plan to spend the rest of the day resting. Bottom line is to follow directions and keep the area clean of food bits to prevent infection. For the first 24 hours, apply ice to your jaw for 30 minutes, remove it for 15 minutes, then do it again. Call your doctor or oral surgeon right away. Gently bite on folded gauze for a bit to help slow the flow. If the bleeding continues for more than 24 hours or is so heavy that the gauze needs to be changed more often, call your dentist or oral surgeon. Cool, soft foods after surgery are good. Look for infection, fever, swelling that lasts more than 2 days, and trouble swallowing or breathing.
Question: How does a food diary help track allergy triggers?

Chewing gum and sucking on lozenges can help you make more saliva.

Question: What is a dental cap?
Answer: If a large piece of tooth breaks off or the tooth has a lot of decay, the dentist may grind or file away part of the remaining tooth and cover it with a crown, or tooth-shaped cap, made to protect the tooth and improve its appearance. Permanent crowns can be made from metal, porcelain fused to metal, all resin, or all ceramic. If the entire top of the tooth is broken off but the root is still intact, the dentist or an endodontist (a dentist who specializes in root canals) may perform root canal therapy and place a pin or a post in the canal, and then build up enough of a structure onto which a crown can be made. Later, the dentist can cement the crown over the pin or post-retained restoration. If a front tooth is broken or chipped, a dental veneer can make it look whole and healthy again.
