Ticks, Tick bites and Tick realted Illness, part 3

  • feature photo

    This is the third and final part of the series with Dr. Marcia Herman-Giddens D.P.H., adjunct Professor of Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  We finish our discussion about TIC-NC, tick removal, prevention of tick related illness and when is it safe to go into the woods.  This section experienced a technical malfunction right at the end of the section and the final 30-60 seconds may have been cut off. The picture to the left is Dr. Herman-Giddens and to the right are dog ticks. The larger ticks are engorged females. At the end of this podcast Dr. Herman-Giddens reminded people that prevention of tick bites was very important and that the chemical Permethrin (made for the Chrysanthemum plant) can be applied to clothes or bought already in clothing. It is know to slow tick movement and can cause tick death if they stay on the material.Marcia Herman-Giddens
