Hi everyone!
Can you believe our long weekend is over? It went by too fast. The four year old was lots of fun and the time went by much too quickly! Now that the summer season is officially here, we can expect warm weather and a rise in the humidity. Another problem we are seeing is bugs. Mosquitoes, ticks and fleas are bad. If you have pets or service animals please be sure you are keeping them protected from fleas, tick, and heart worms. These pesky little varmints carry all kinds of bad things and many people are allergic to the bites. If you find a tick, be sure you remove the entire insect. If the bite does not heal within 3 days, check with your doctor or have someone look at the bite site. Remember, Arkansas ticks are famous for carrying Rocky Mountain Spotted fever.
Mosquitoes cause a terrible reaction in many folks, including myself. Please be sure you cleanse and disinfect the bite and keep an eye on it. Again, if it is not healing in three days, get to the doctor!
Until tomorrow,
Dr. Janet
