Overview
Primary Prevention
Since transmission of borrelia infection occurs by ticks, mosquitos and horse flies (also known as tabanid) bites, primary prevention could be achieved by the following instructions:[1][2]
- Using insect repellants (Such as DEET)
- Stay indoors during dusk and dawn
- Reduction of tick population around your residence by using biodegradable cardboard tubes stuffed with permethrin-treated cotton (also known as Maxforce Tick Management system). To learn more click here.
- Avoid tick-infested regions
- Wear long sleeves and pants
- Wear light color cloths
- Examine the body for ticks when returning to home
