What Is Anaplasmosis?
9. Prevention
We can’t completely prevent the chances of being bitten and eradicating the ticks responsible would be a near impossible task. This means that bites, and infections, are likely to occur, but we can at least reduce the chances of it happening.
One way to achieve this is to avoid long grass and other areas where ticks are likely to be staying. It is also advisable to wear long, loose clothing should you be venturing into areas where ticks are likely to be. If you have already caught the disease, then you can help prevent it from developing into something serious by getting medical assistance as soon as possible.
