Amaqanda ezibungu angatholakala otshanini nasenhlabathini yegceke lakho. Ukusuka lapho, bangena endlini ngenja yakho, behlezi kukhaphethi kanye nefenisha. Amaqanda abe eselala amasonto ambalwa ngaphambi kokuba abe madala. Umjikelezo wempilo yamazeze mude; Izeze elivamile elivamile liphila phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-60 neziyi-90, kodwa uma linomthombo wokudla, lingaphila izinsuku ezingafika kweziyikhulu.2
Amathikithi
Imikhaza yizilokazane ze-arachnid ezicasha ezindaweni ezinotshani noma ezinehlathi bese zinamathela ezinjeni, amakati noma abantu abanezidladla zabo zangaphambili lapho okuhlosiwe kudlula khona. (Lokhu kuziphatha kubizwa ngokuthi “ukusesha.”) Umkhaza uvala ikhanda lawo kancane ngaphansi kwesikhumba sesilwane esifuywayo, ngokuvamile emadlebeni nasentanyeni, lapho udla khona igazi. Izibungu ezindala zingahlala izinyanga zingalali bese zizalela izinkulungwane zamaqanda.
Ngaphezu kokucasula, izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zomkhaza zisakaza izifo eziningana ezithinta kokubili izinja nabantu, kuhlanganise nesifo i-Lyme, i-ehrlichiosis, ne-Rocky Mountain spotted fever.3 Ezinye izinja ziyakwazi ngisho nokungezwani namathe emite, okungandisa ingozi empilweni yesilwane sakho esifuywayo. Kubalulekile ukuthi abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo bazi ukuthi bawukhipha kanjani umkhaza ekatini noma enjeni.
