Ticks are parasites feeding on the blood of other organisms and thus spreading a variety of dangerous diseases. If a tick bites you, you are at risk of contracting one of the dangerous tick-borne diseases such as

• Lyme disease,
• tick-borne encephalitis (TBE),
• human granulocytic anaplasmosis,
• babesiosis (piroplasmosis),
• and many others.

If you haven’t sent the tick for examination, get tested for the above-mentioned diseases immediately. During the visit, the doctor will order diagnostic tests. The results will help choose the right therapy and medications that will not tax your body or immune system too much. Centrum dr Ozimek is a full specialist practice for patients previously diagnosed with tick-borne diseases.
