萊姆病(Lyme disease)是由蜱蟲(Tick)傳播的疾病。預防核心是「避免叮咬」與「及時發現」。戶外活動時穿著長袖長褲、將褲管塞入襪子(阻隔蜱蟲接觸皮膚)、使用含 DEET 防蚊液均是物理與化學屏障。返家後檢查身體是否有蜱蟲附著極為重要,若發現蜱蟲,應立即用鑷子夾住頭部移除,降低病原體進入人體的機率。
Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks. The core of prevention is avoiding bites and detecting ticks promptly. During outdoor activities, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, tucking pant legs into socks (to block ticks from contacting the skin), and using DEET-containing insect repellent serve as both physical and chemical barriers. Performing a full-body tick check after returning home is also essential. If a tick is found, it should be removed immediately by grasping the head with tweezers, which reduces the chance of pathogens entering the body.
萊姆病在美國東北部與中西部屬於流行病,護理師衛教時常會提供如何辨識「牛眼狀紅斑(Erythema migrans)」的圖示,這是萊姆病最具特徵的臨床表現。
