The little critters are certainly not harmless. Ticks are a difficult type of insect to see outdoors, but these little pests can be very harmful. Mites are very small arachnids, usually 3-5 mm long.
They have been around since ancient times and are related to ticks. External parasites are also called ectoparasites, including mites. They consume the blood of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and sometimes humans to survive. Stephanie woke up one morning, walked into her child’s room and realized something was wrong.
Her son, Collin, is energetic and enthusiastic throughout the day. Usually during this time he was running around in his room or playing in the yard. But he quickly realized that this day was no ordinary day. As she lay on the bed, Colleen looked at her. She quickly called her husband, Dillon.
Dillon and Stephanie were told their son was paralyzed overnight. They couldn’t believe what had happened. Instead of going to the doctor, the parents decided to take their child to the emergency room. At first, I thought my brother had accidentally hit his head before a baseball game and suffered a concussion. But doctors said there were no symptoms of a concussion. Even after the incident, he still communicated well and expressed no complaints.
Colin underwent a series of tests and his condition rapidly deteriorated. Dylan was shocked to see his son struggling. He said his only choice was to breathe. Colin didn’t move. Has problems with eating and drinking. Doctors continued to run tests to diagnose the problem because they were strong. When his oxygen levels began to drop, they transferred him to a larger hospital.
Stephanie and Dillon realized that every moment counts and that Collin needed the best medical experts and equipment to solve his problems. After Colin was taken, her parents were shocked to hear doctors say that if they had arrived just 30 minutes later, little Colin would have suffered a heart attack and her tiny body would not have been able to cope.
Soon after, doctors determined the problem was a small mite behind Collins’ ear. The poor thing eventually died from these mites. He missed everyone, including his parents and doctors. When the tick was immediately removed, it quickly returned to its previous state. Based on the emergency room doctors. Although tick bites are common, paralysis is a very rare disease caused by the insect’s saliva.
Doctors said that the tick’s salivary glands contain neurotoxic substances. This suggests that during the tick’s feeding, Colleen got a neurotoxic substance into her blood and became paralyzed.
Parents should take a lesson from Colleen’s case to take care of their children’s health. Always check for other pests such as bugs or mites.
