1 Ticks and Lyme Disease Know the Bug Know the Bite Know What To Do Dr. Paula Stewart Medical Officer of Health Leeds, Grenville Lanark District Health Unit June 5, 2015
2 Know the Bug Black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis) Likes sandy soil, bushy wooded area, hardwood trees, rivers, boggy areas May carry bacteria that causes Lyme disease American dog tick Likes long grassy areas May carry organisms that causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Tularemia
3 Ixodes scapularis Black Legged Tick
4 Tick Activity in Ontario Ixodes tick established along the northeastern seaboard of the United States, and New York State Long Point and Point Pelee areas of Ontario (since the early 1990s) Identified in the 1000 Islands region of Eastern Ontario in 2006 Expansion in Eastern Ontario All phases of life cycle
5 Surveillance of Ticks About 20% test positive
6 Tick submissions by home address. The red dots are ticks that tested positive for Borrelia and the yellow were negative. A total of 102 tested positive out of 448 submissions (22.8%), Red dot positive tick Yellow dot negative tick
7 Know the Bug: Migration
8 Know the Bug Lyme Disease Transmission Cycle Larvae and nymphs become infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease when they feed on infected small animals (reservoir for bacteria) The bacteria remain in the tick as it develops from larva to nymph or from nymph to adult Infected nymphs and adult ticks then bite and transmit the bacteria to small rodents, animals, and humans
9 Lyme Disease Transmission Cycle
10 Know the Bug Ticks cannot fly, they do not jump and do not move large distances along the ground Typically seek a host by climbing vegetation (such as grass, bushes or shrubs along forest edges), and wait for a suitable host to come in contact with them Most ticks require from 3 to 7 days to feed fully Once engorged, they drop from the host (animal/person)
11 Know The Bite Ticks attach to a host via their mouthparts and slowly feed upon their blood for several days When ticks bite, they may secrete or regurgitate small amounts of saliva that contain neurotoxins (anesthesia) Bacteria in gut changes so it can survive the tick s saliva Takes at least 24 hours Bacteria cannot be passed to host until this occurs through saliva regurgitation
12 Fed vs. Unfed
13 Health Unit Prevention Strategies Public Education Communication with area Doctors and Hospitals Press releases Posters Advertising (print & radio) Tick ID cards
14 Know What to Do Protect yourself from tick bites Stay on paths in brushy, wooded areas In areas that are known to have ticks: wear light-coloured clothing easier to see ticks wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, high socks (with pants tucked tightly under the socks) wear boots/shoes, not sandals Use a repellent Icaridin or DEET no more than 30% for adults and 10% for children around your pant legs and shoes, and re-apply every 2 hours (avoid your face and any cuts)
15 Know what to Do Protect Yourself from tick bites Tick check Take a quick shower which may help to remove a tick that hasn t attached itself Put clothes in hot dryer Check and remove ticks from pets
16 Reduce Ticks Around Your Home Ticks prefer to live in humid, wooded areas. Keep the grass in your yard mowed. Remove brush and fallen leaves from the edges of your property, especially if your yard is bordered by woods or fields of tall grass. A border of gravel or wood chips that creates a physical separation between lawns and wooded areas will help reduce the movement of ticks from their natural habitat into your yard.
17 Reduce Ticks Around Your Home Clean up areas under and around bird feeders, to reduce the attraction of small critters such as mice and voles. These mammals help to transport ticks and are necessary hosts for ticks to complete their life cycle. Place children s play structures away from wooded areas to avoid exposure to ticks
18 Know What To Do If You Spot a Tick Don t squeeze the tick or try to burn it off or put anything on it Grasp the tick by the head as close to your skin as possible. Pull it straight out, gently but firmly. Use tweezers or tick twister if possible Clean and disinfect the bite area
19 Know What to Do Complete Removal of Tick Incomplete Removal of Tick Ensure you remove the tick completely
20 Know What to Do Consult health care provider if the tick has been on for > 24 hours and is engorged may recommend prophylaxis Mark the date when tick removed and monitor for symptoms within three days to a month or so after the tick bite
21 Know What to Do Reduce your risk of contracting Lyme Disease Not all tick bites will result in disease It is not the bite of the tick, but the bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi) in the tick's saliva that causes Lyme disease The tick must attach and feed on a human for hours before the organism is transmitted (this amount of time is needed for the bacteria to travel from the tick s gut to its salivary glands). Consult your health care provider if the tick has been attached for 24 hours or longer Checking yourself when you come in from the outdoors and prompt removal of ticks will reduce your chances of contracting Lyme Disease
22 Lyme Disease Early localized disease (less than 30 days from exposure) Early disseminated disease (weeks to months after exposure) Late disseminated disease (weeks to years after exposure)
23 Lyme Disease Suspect and confirmed cases of Lyme borreliosis must be reported as soon as possible on the appropriate form which can be faxed to LGL Public Health. See the notification form on the Reportable Disease Toolkit (Health Professional/Toolkit- Lyme Disease)
24 Prophylaxis One dose of doxycycline 4mg/kg to 200 mg. age 8+ Recommended in LGL with > 20% prevalence of bacteria in ticks Tick engorged, attached for >24 hours Within 72 hours of tick bite
25 Early Localized Lyme Disease Three to 30 days, usually 1 to 2 weeks, from exposure Erythema migrans (EM) greater/equal to 5 cm in diameter, fever, Malaise, Headache, Myalgia, Neck stiffness, Fatigue, Arthralgia Differentiate from early redness at bite site < 5 cm Treatment see RD Toolkit
26 Early Disseminated Lyme Disease Weeks to months after exposure Multiple EM, cranial nerve palsies (Bells Palsy), lymphocytic meningitis, conjunctivitis, arthralgia, myalgia, headache, fatigue, carditis (heart block) Treatment see RD Toolkit
27 Late Disseminated Lyme Disease Weeks to years after exposure Arrhythmias, heart block, myopericarditis, peripheral neuropathy, meningitis, encephalopathy (i.e., behavior changes, sleep disturbance, headaches), recurrent arthritis affecting large joints (i.e., knees), fatigue Treatment see RD Toolkit
28 Diagnosis and Testing Diagnosis of localized Lyme Disease based on clinical symptoms, and the likely hood of exposure to risk factors i.e., ticks Laboratory testing of a persons blood plays a role in supporting the diagnosis highly sensitive if arthritis present Antibodies appear 2-4 weeks after the bulls- eye rash Blood tests performed by the Public Health Lab include ELISA test then Western Blot if ELISA positive No benefit to testing tick
29 Statistics for Reported Lyme Disease Reported Human cases of Lyme Disease in LGL confirmed and 24 probable
