Ticks adhere to the host skin outdoors. Methods for tick removal without causing skin damage are controversial, and surgical excision along with the skin is mainly performed. A 6-week-old infant who lived indoors with a family cat contracted a tick bite. Tick killing before removal by injection of carbocaine into the tick led to successful removal without damaging the skin. This method can be useful for preventing damage to the skin during tick removal. A pet that roams outdoors can be a transmitter of ticks. We should be aware that this risk of tick bites can be hidden indoors.
蜱虫在户外附着于宿主皮肤。不造成皮肤损伤的蜱虫清除方法存在争议,主要采用连同皮肤一起进行手术切除的方式。一名6周大的婴儿与家中的猫一起生活在室内,被蜱虫叮咬。在移除蜱虫前通过向蜱虫注射卡波卡因来杀死蜱虫,成功实现了移除且未损伤皮肤。这种方法对于防止蜱虫移除过程中皮肤受损可能有用。在户外游荡的宠物可能是蜱虫的传播者。我们应该意识到,蜱虫叮咬的这种风险在室内也可能存在。
