with your family scattered across the globe. to do to keep. trying to get a minimum of the. bush family from somalia live around the world. needed urgent assistance. starts october. welcome to you in good shape coming up on the show vacation time how long do all parties need to recuperate. no more nail biting how best to quit the habit. close to the dangers that could be lurking in the grass. and here's

your host dr custom like a top. hello and welcome to in good shape a walk through the great old dogs can be fun but it can be big injuries too because there are predators they are snakes and there are ticks. that for up blood as ticks burrow into our skin to get it they can infect us with viruses and bacteria one common disease transmitted by ticks is lyme borreliosis or lyme disease a typical sign is a red to bring that forms on the skin in the days after the bite. ticks often found in tool. and white. that's true the typical carriers of lyme disease

like that it. the taiga tick and the cost of. which white spread in northern latitudes were by contrast. live in areas of europe asia and africa. just wait for that victims to come along. the distances of several 100 meters. they can transmit spotted. the often fatal crimean. migrating. human. and climate change populations to expand into regions where they didn't live in the past and with them carrying numerous dangerous pathogens. luckily they're not only dangerous treaters lacking but interesting people like dr

howard on and he's the right person to talk to today. your. doctor how to get on your from the robot call in situ it from believing. in the words nature and you're running around with the wife like collecting ticks while you're doing that too why we are doing like this in the last year groups were often drawn the more exotic ticks people. wanting a vault and we want to know what it's procedures to make into me and the 2nd reason is to see when the ticks are active or how all the proton of security is changing by the climate change because the. last 2 years of extreme

and we have seen that. some ticks peace has been gone and security. experience is increasing q to cutie souls that you want to have an overview of all just a committee or sticks and there are more than 900 different species of ticks some of them opposing this and others are transmitting diseases after mosquitoes takes other most dangerous victor for diseases. ticks can be found all around the world there's a range of different species but they all drink blood while males are simply sink their own appetite females need larger quantities in order to form a. biologist hans doubtless spent years examining takes in germany. the higher lama ferrante is a relatively new. arrival with research showing the ticks of spent the winter in germany for the 1st time ever they could well become native to the country.

the higher lama is very large compared to other tick species and has clearly different behavioral patterns it is a relentless hunter. even if of site. it's a very active pursuer there is film footage of them covering up to 500 meters while following a host for up to a quarter of an hour there as fast as would have. the higher nama is already a known menace in other countries. this take originates from the eastern mediterranean word spreads crimean congo hemorrhagic fever. this i know it's a really nasty you'll know some can be fatal and so the fear now is that this could bring the virus with it over here. but the high lama specimens discovered so far in germany have not carried the

highly dangerous fever. in to get them in all the documentation we have on high or low magicks not a single case of crimean congo hemorrhagic fever was found but we need to be vigilant. in the northern hemisphere takes a primarily associated with another illness lyme disease or borreliosis it's pathogens are spiral shaped bacteria called borrelia kind of the really a can lead to inflammation and cause arthritis for example link and they can cause my account itis inflammation of cardiac muscle and they can lead to information in the brain and trigger a neurological manifestation of lyme disease and so on and off for what's the. most takes here wait on bushes and long grass to latch on to hosts if they go unnoticed and on to removed. use that saw like teeth to make an incision into the target skin it takes another 12 hours for the bacteria to be transmitted.

done kind of. might manifest in the skin in the 1st stage. and the whole next you see an expanding rash calderas the migrants. if you detect that in time and take antibiotics then you're pretty safe. but in some cases there is no rash and the disease remains undetected. a rare a disease is a tick borne encephalitis t b e which can affect the brain and central nervous system it's more difficult to treat the only real protection is vaccination. it's important to weigh up the risks for yourself depending on how often you come into contact with ticks. you might live in germany and also travel frequently to other places in europe also it might make sense to get a tb vaccination for them in for. whatever the species of tick the best

protection against the diseases they transmit is to avoid getting bitten in the 1st place. it makes sense to cover up and also to use a tick repellent. if you do get bit remove the take without delay to reduce the risk of infection but careful so you don't squash it. so we keep running of it and we're looking for takes actually so this is the right place to find ticks it's a small like a meadow where you can. normally have a tick. tick so it is endemic and it's. forest. crossland best. but for. some exotic tics it's coming from areas where it's we try and.

hot and therefore all. problems to lucinda and yes it's normal to just not mimic and sort of area of attics. existing is wider than before so now we're looking for ticks and we're using this way track so how do you do that if you take it in your very thoughts that take in the ambush no you know so you are morally simulating someone who is going through the forest basically so let's take a look actually caught something. like that ok what we've got here i mean if you look like in the book we start on the left and we don't lose any take in if you look for example you do that is the most flawed and tick stage because it's more and you don't if i if it's biting but it can feel all diseases.

and. so they can feed from $5.00 to $7.00 days and in this time it's either victoria. they can transmit a lot of but it genes and the infection rate is. so what kind of disease is transmitted by ticks i mean the most important one the most important. to keep borne disease enjoy means it's lyme disease so it's caused by a bully boy able to awfully into sick and come to see us in germany is tb that is transmitted mainly in. the souls of drum which is a virus this is our city and so we have but tell you to. put it genes that most important is boy was in the word and. diseases one of them is to be does important in most important poured into it but worldwide it

can cause a market so most plants but the disease protocols ok so if i take a look here at the ticks and if some of them would sting me or if they bite me how long would it take for m.b. to share transmission of the pathogens it depends on the part of being carried. genes normally needed time to one of the body of the tick in the most part and then this transmitters this can need to for 24 hours in journey book a year for example needs at least 67 hours to 2 goals and to be dangerous for effecting that but this would mean if i would realize that there's a tick on me and i would just simply remove it that there's no risk of getting this infection then there's at least to this is we could use it as it's very important for me to remove the tick as fast as it was 1st as possible and not seeing

a doctor just read it out in if you know that you are was in. some moss at home you can do it at home with forceps of a certain tot about in the forest if you know you need to vent your last food to a home you do it immediately and for good things is that i am always close to a doctor just so what you see here is. a. source which will stick this vent if it's biting you realised quite fast because its core and up to one centimeter and. it's quite prominent and paul you knew who it was in the one to 12 days it was feeding and. this is not a dangerous stage of the team and the industry. one of a more danger is diseases is the line disease transmitted by ticks which is kind of

the dangerous disease and you cannot always heal it especially if it's not diagnose properly to taking the dog out for a walk has become a rare pleasure for car hall a yessing she needs painkillers to bat even a 15 minute stroll sanct fonda tarkus it's different from one day he to the next sometimes i am able to do a quick round with my dog i maybe 2 or 3 kilometer is there then there were days when the pain in my joints a so severe that i just can't go out every a step is painful see it us at care whole a yessing suffers from chronic lyme disease a single bite from a tick turned her life upside down and she can't even say when a happened side runny steer borger i don't know how long i've had lyme disease can with and crime i have no recollection of any by age and that's a never found a take mr it hand i didn't have the typical red rash their form the

ring shape drash is often the 1st indication of having been bitten the ticks a live or that causes a reaction contains a natural an ascetic that prevents the host from feeling the by eats once infected with line do seems you probably start getting headaches with in a few days and pains in you were joints that spread through your body length maths and us is hads all stationed it's a stabbing pain in my shoulder and so it's is it is someone is stabbing me was a knife or from my here at the frank which upon and stays to order on the muscle ache in my shin also fields like someone's trying to 7 the muscles that looked at a mall school from so i'm by sometimes it might only last a few minute or munt on norm that sometimes it goes on for our heads score know it's often misdiagnosed as with cover all a yes saying for a long time i'm doctor suspected arthritis but the pain intensified and seemed atypical for that diagnosis. on

a much less like condition worsened as the night he says started to become extremely tired. and you praised as well. be stitches dancing hiking and cycling were no longer possible the slightest jolt could become unbearable her old life was gradually disappearing. on come down then my g.p. had an idea that she asked whether i'd been checked for line disease and 10 years later pretty tough. test showed she had the corresponding antibodies and that led to the right diagnosis but a course of antibiotics failed to bring about long term relief she has to live with the pain which she's only able to ensure with strong medication and the support of a self-help group. anything i can do to prevent being bitten by

a tick because i love to be outside here in the nature and i don't want to miss it out from wards to conform or fall all over and to be bitten by a tick for example to all those on the person that i was. the fix for the pigs are not able to and of course picks are not able to bite you or in the margins of the purse 1st they're often this awful cross and on the grass of course there can be pics you have to prevent to go inside the high grass and. to go in areas where the ticks are quite common and the. point is to your your colson's for short. shorts. protecting your food and long pauses. yes and long sleeves i even see sometimes people going around and in the

forest and they put their trousers into their socks so it's a great way to protect yes it's a great day but it's important because. normally it takes away from downstairs upset if an instinct to go up and so they go inside the trawlers and. climb up to us and to the head if you want what about those chemicals the palings you can buy they have. the i had food you have 2 types of character the police one that you can put on the skin into another type to put it on have told us that protect the poison to take the ones that you you put on the skin is smelling really that. for the take and for this reason they don't come to you and they don't bite you and if i've been bitten might do i just pull it out but we have to twisted out the pigs no schools so you gone to school you put them all

to study. movement and. this is most sure a message to get them out even not. that something is remaining inside the skin but even if something is remaining it's not dangerous you put in all you do disaffection and then you also place here that to get bitten and in case of changing in the biting side you go to a physician and to see him even if you rip off the head and the head state stays inside the scheme there's no danger attached to that knowledge is no danger only the. skin themself is putting it all out and there's no more but a gene inside the head so that there's no high office of addiction i think it's you know. what about children the most important. see you have to do is

to to look out of all sides whether there were a bit but things or the us to. fix on the skin and the reality could buy and. it's easy if you do or show off for the roadside and be social or even takes it looking for foreboding side washed away so that. this is show you have 2 things you can do you can. push pics of a bike you can even look in the places where you don't normally see. but they're close with by the ticks and what about pets i mean i have 2 dogs i can see dogs they're doing have to take a look at the pets when i'm home if there are some ticks on them because it's really important docs and also suppose i were to get lyme disease and even t.v. so that is bought and controlled for ticks after you leave your outside in the

nature and to come back to home thanks so much as interesting talk and if you know scared of nature and you want to stay inside use your time right turn on the computer and write your questions to expres by. on an upcoming show you will be talking about choosing the right kind of support some physical activities are better than others and helping us deal with particular illness is sending your questions to you in good shape d.w. dot com just write sports in the subject line we look forward to hearing from you. off to new health issue maybe humans are doing the biting on eco fadia that means made by taking. it's not really disease but it can lead to infections off the skin so you should kick the habit. even the simplest things can be difficult when you've bitten your fingernails right

down it's an annoying habit but there are ways to quit. it starts with analyzing when you tend to do it could be the trigger noting your own behavior is the 1st step towards changing it. is claimed to have a typically it can happen when the person affected is in a stressful situation or bored so a negative context that's when someone might start chewing their nails as a way to relax or feel less bored one day as. a substitute has to be found something to keep you otherwise occupied. special nail polish from the pharmacy can also help it contains better substances that discourage you from biting your nails but some people forget to apply the
