ʻO ka hoʻoilo mahana ʻole i ka wā hoʻoilo he mea hoʻomaha maikaʻi ia mai nā ʻino ʻino iwi, akā hele mai ia me kahi ʻano haʻahaʻa nui, nui loa ʻo nā kuʻi. Ua wānana nā ʻepekema i ka makahiki 2017 e lilo i makahiki moʻa no nā mea kolo kolohe ʻino loa a me nā maʻi āpau e hele pū ana me lākou.

"Ke piʻi aʻe nei nā maʻi maʻi maʻi, a ʻo ka pale ʻana i ka manaʻo o kēlā me kēia kanaka, ʻoiai i ka wā o ke kauwela a me ke kauwela, a me ka hāʻule mua ʻana i ka wā e ikaika loa ai nā ticks," ʻo Rebecca Eisen, Ph.D., he mea noiʻi noiʻi ma nā US Centers no ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi a me ka pale ʻana (CDC), haʻi ʻia i ka ʻO Tribune ʻo Chicago.

Ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻoe i nā ticks, manaʻo paha ʻoe i ka maʻi Lyme, kahi maʻi bacteria i ʻike pinepine ʻia e kona ʻano "bull's-eye rash." Ma kahi o 40,000 mau kānaka i loaʻa iā ia ma 2015, e like me ka CDC, he piʻi o 320 pākēneka, a he nui nā hihia i wānana ʻia. Akā ʻoiai ʻo Lyme ka maʻi nui loa e kūkākūkā ʻia, mahalo i nā mea kaulana e like me Gigi Hadid, Avril Lavigne, a me Kelly Osbourne e ʻōlelo nei e pili ana i kā lākou mau ʻike, ʻaʻole ia ka wale ma'i hiki ke loaa mai ka nahu mai.

Ua papa inoa ka CDC ma luna o 15 mau maʻi i ʻike ʻia i lawe ʻia ma o ka nahu tick a uhi nā hihia i nā US āpau, e like me ka ʻike ʻia ʻo Rocky Mountain a me STARI. ʻO ka makahiki i hala aku nei he maʻi hou i kapa ʻia ʻo babesosis i poʻomanaʻo. Aia kekahi ma'i ma'i ma'i e hiki ai ke ma'i 'oe i ka 'i'o (ko'iko'i!).

I kēia manawa, hopohopo ka poʻe e pili ana i ka piʻi ʻana o kahi maʻi maʻi maʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo Powassan. ʻO Powassan kahi maʻi viral i ʻike ʻia e ke kuni, ka ʻeha poʻo, ka luaʻi, nāwaliwali, huikau, ka hopu ʻana, a me ka nalo ʻana o ka hoʻomanaʻo. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka kakaikahi ma mua o nā maʻi ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka ʻino. Pono pinepine ka poʻe maʻi i ka halemai a hiki ke loaʻa nā pilikia neurologic lōʻihi-a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, hiki ke make.

Akā ma mua o kou makaʻu a hoʻopau hoʻi i kāu piʻina hele a pau, kahi hoʻomoana, a me nā holo waho i loko o nā māla pua, he mea nui e ʻike he maʻalahi ka pale ʻana i nā ticks, wahi a Christina Liscynesky, MD, kahi loea maʻi maʻi ma The Ohio State University Wexner Medical. Waena. No ka laʻana, e ʻaʻahu i nā lole paʻa e uhi i kou ʻili a pau, a e koho i nā lole kala ʻulaʻula e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike wikiwiki i nā mea ʻino. Akā, ʻo ka nūhou maikaʻi loa, ʻo ka kolo maʻamau i kou kino a hiki i ka 24 hola ma mua o ka noho ʻana e nahu iā ʻoe (ʻo ia ka nūhou maikaʻi? E hōʻoia i kou kino holoʻokoʻa, e komo pū me ka wahi kiko e like me kou poʻo, kou ʻāʻī, a ma waena o kou manamana wāwae. (Eia nā ala ʻeono e pale ai iā ʻoe iho mai nā mea ʻino.)

"E nānā i kou kino no nā ma'i i kēlā lā i kēia lā i ka wā e ho'omoana ai a i 'ole ka hele wāwae 'ana a inā 'oe e noho ana i kahi wahi pa'a kaumaha a e ho'ohana i ka mea ho'olei pepeke maika'i," wahi a Dr. Liscynesky, me ka ho'ohui 'ana he mea nui e kau i ka pehu a i 'ole ka lotion. ma hope kau paku lā. (ʻAʻole ʻoe e poina i ka pale lā, pololei?)

E ʻike i hoʻokahi? E pulupulu wale ia mea a e oki ina aole i pili, a i ole e hoohana i na tweezers e wehe koke ia mai kou ili ina ua paa ia, me ka maopopo e wehe i na waha a pau, wahi a Kauka Liscynesky. (Gross, ʻike mākou.) "E holoi i kahi kahua nahu kikiki me ke kopa a me ka wai a uhi ʻia me kahi kaula, ʻaʻohe lāʻau ʻaila antibiotic e pono ai," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. Inā ʻoe e hemo koke i ke kikiki, haʻahaʻa ka manawa o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi mai ia mea. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe maopopo i ka lōʻihi o kou ʻili, a i ʻole e hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻike i nā hōʻailona e like me ke kuni a i ʻole ka ʻūlū, e kelepona koke i kāu kauka.
