The initial symptoms were like a cold, suspected to have been bitten by a tick
The victim posted an article on the mainland social platform “Little Red Book” to share the recent death of his mother due to illness. She said her mother, who was in her 50s, started getting sick in the middle of this month (12). That night her mother suddenly had chills, vomiting and diarrhea. She also said she had no appetite. The victim didn’t pay attention, thinking that her mother just had a common cold and fever, so that night she took medicine and went to bed.
The next day, the mother began experiencing other symptoms, such as pain in her waist and feet, which continued to worsen, so she sought medical attention. After a series of tests, it was discovered that her mother’s white blood cell and platelet counts were low, but the cause could not be determined. The next day a bone marrow puncture was performed and abnormalities in the blood were found. It was suspected that he had been bitten by a tick. The female victim did not realize the seriousness of the matter at the time and she thought that the insect bite was a minor matter.
Hearing this statement, I thought there was a glimmer of hope. At the time, I didn’t realize how serious tick bites could be, because many people have been bitten and I have been bitten before.
My daughter died after staying in hospital for 7 days and regretted delaying treatment.
Unexpectedly, my mother’s condition worsened. She “began to feel confused and writhe in pain.” The victim saw her mother being tortured and said frankly: “I am heartbroken and I don’t know how to help her.” At that time, a nurse on duty told the victim: “It doesn’t seem like your mother is actually in physical pain, but that it’s caused by a neurological problem.”
I don’t understand either, I always thought he just had back pain.
The mother was hospitalized for observation, but her condition did not improve even after taking the drugs. The doctor told the victim and her family to prepare mentally, saying that her mother’s life was in decline and “the chances of survival were very low, almost non-existent” and suggested taking her home to spend her last days her. Ultimately, my mother died of illness 7 days after seeking medical attention.
I feel like my mother took too long because she didn’t know she was bitten. I’m sorry I thought you were liver-brain or COVID-19. It would have been better if I had paid more attention earlier…
6 tips to prevent tick-borne spotted fever
According to the Department of Food and Environmental Hygiene, ticks are parasites of mammals such as dogs and rats. The larvae of most ticks gather on the tips of grass or leaves. When animals pass by, they jump on them and pierce deeply the skin of animals or humans to suck blood, thus spreading the disease. Tick-borne spotted fever can also be contracted by accidentally touching the remains or feces of an infected tick in a wound or eye. In this regard, the Department of Food and Environmental Hygiene recommends 6 tips to prevent the infection of spotted fever transmitted by ticks:
1. Apply insect repellent to clothing or skin as directed on the label
2. Wear light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and pants
3. Avoid sitting or lying in the jungle
4. Avoid contact with roadside grass
5. Worm your pets regularly
6. Don’t feed stray dogs
