How is it that a man in Nanjing was bitten by a tick in the abdomen and caused myocarditis as a result?
This patient in Nanjing was bitten by a tick in the abdomen. Because tick bites can spread Bunia virus that causes myocarditis, patients did not care about infection after being bitten by ticks, and symptoms of myocarditis appeared.

Small ticks are painless when they bite, but they will always bite and suck blood, and will spread the virus into the human body through blood. In severe cases, it will lead to organ failure and eventually death. Because I have a dog at home, I have always known this bug, because when I have a dog, the pet doctor will tell me that I must remember to deworm on time, otherwise my pet will probably be bitten by ticks when running in the grass. In fact, whether people or pets are bitten by ticks, they must be removed in time. This bug has just been bitten, and it is only the size of a small fat particle when it is in the body, but as he continues to suck blood, the stomach leaking from his body surface will become bigger and bigger. There will be slight ulcers and inflammation after biting. These are small things. The key is that there are many viruses in his body, which can spread many serious diseases. In the process of biting and sucking blood, he will send his saliva and gastrointestinal contents into human blood.

However, not all ticks can spread diseases, and the diseases spread by different species are different, and only when it has this pathogen in its body will it cause disease when it bites people. So when we get it out in time after being bitten by ticks, there won't be much problem, but once we find fever, fatigue or muscle aches, and some special abnormal reactions such as erythema appear on our bodies, we need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, if bitten, how to take it out also needs attention. Because sometimes people may just pull out its exposed stomach, and its mouthparts are still stuck in the human body. In order not to be infected by the mouthparts stuck in the skin, we should try our best to pull out the whole worm, anesthetize it with alcohol, and then lift its abdomen smoothly with tweezers later, or go directly to the hospital for medical treatment and ask the doctor to get rid of the ticks.
