Umkhaza wenja - ama-Ixode, i-Dermacentor noma i-Rhipicephalus - yisibungu esikhulu esine-hematophagous, okungukuthi, esidla igazi ukuze siphile. Inamathela otshanini obude ngenkathi ilinde ukudlula kwesisulu. Inamathiselwe yinhloko esikhunjeni, umkhaza wezinja ungahlala lapho izinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisikhombisa ngenkathi uqeda ukudla kwegazi. Ngalesi sidlo, ikhipha amathe emfudlaneni wegazi wesisulu sayo.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, izokhula ibe nkulu ize ifinyelele usayizi wepea omkhulu. Lapho eseqedile ukudla, uqhephuka esikhunjeni senja bese ewela phansi ukuze ancibilike noma akhiphe abeke amaqanda.

Imikhaza isebenza kakhulu entwasahlobo nasekwindla.

Imikhaza inesimo esithile esishintshayo kuye ngokuthi zitholakala nini.

Banekhanda elincane kakhulu elizungezwe imilenze eminingi (eyi-8 isiyonke), okuvame ukuba nzima ukubalwa. Ngemuva kwemilenze kunomzimba womkhaza, mkhulu kunekhanda. Ngaphambi kokuluma inja noma ekuqaleni kokudla kwegazi, umzimba womkhaza mncane futhi awulingani ulingana nekhanda lephini. Umkhaza ungabonakala umhlophe noma umnyama.

Lapho igcwala igazi, ubukhulu besisu sayo bukhuphuka kancane kancane bese buguqula umbala: iba mhlophe noma ibe mpunga.

Susa njalo imikhaza enjeni yakho ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngempela, imikhaza yizifo ezithwala izifo eziningana ezibucayi nezibulalayo izinja, njenge-piroplasmosis, isifo seLyme (Borreliosis) noma i-ehrlichiosis ngokwesibonelo.

Kunemithi yokugoma emelene ne-piroplasmosis nesifo seLyme ezinjeni. Inja yakho ungayigoma ngazo zombili izifo uma ihlale ivezwa obala. Usengathola esinye sezifo ezimbili kule mithi yokugoma, kepha kungasindisa impilo yakhe uma engenwa yileli gciwane.

Vikela inja yakho nge-antiparasitic yangaphandle esebenza ngokumelene nemikhaza yenja. Ngokuvamile ziyasebenza ngokumelene amazaza ezinja. Sebenzisa le mikhiqizo ngisho noma egonyiwe, kuzokwandisa ukuvikeleka kwakhe futhi imigomo ayivikeli kuzo zonke izifo ezidluliselwa umkhaza wenja. Udokotela wakho wezilwane uzokweluleka ngemithi engcono kakhulu ongayifaka isicelo senja yakho (i-pipette noma ikhola yokulwa nomkhaza).

Bheka ingubo yesikhumba sakho nesikhumba sakho bese ubheka imikhaza njalo lapho uhamba khona futhi ikakhulukazi uma uhamba emahlathini noma emahlathini. Ungangena kulo mkhuba noma ngabe inja igonyiwe yelashelwa imikhaza.

Akuwona wonke amakhizane athwala amagciwane, ngakho-ke uma uthola umkhaza enjeni yakho uyisuse ngengwegwe, okungcono ngaphambi kokuthi igcwale igazi. Bese ubheka amasonto amathathu alandelayo umchamo, isifiso sokudla, isimo esijwayelekile futhi uma ucindezelekile, i-lokushisa wenja. Uma umchamo uphenduka ubumnyama, unemfiva, noma ngokuzumayo uqala ukuxhuga, bona i-vet yakho bese umazisa lapho ususe umkhaza.

Ukususa umkhaza, akufanele usebenzise i-ether noma udlawana.. Ungashiya "ikhanda" lomkhaza esikhumbeni senja yakho bese udala ukutheleleka. Futhi kungakhuthaza amathe omkhaza ukuba abalekele egazini futhi kwandise ingozi yokungcola komkhaza uma kungabathwali begciwane le-piroplasmosis ezinjeni, ngokwesibonelo.

Ukususa kahle umkhaza, sisebenzisa i-hook hook (noma i-tick puller) yobukhulu obufanele isimo se-engorgement yomkhaza. Ayatholakala ukuthengiswa kubo bonke odokotela bezilwane. Ingwegwe inamagatsha amabili. Kufanele ulayishe ingwegwe phezu kwesikhumba bese ubeka amagatsha ngapha nangapha komkhaza. Ngemuva kwalokho kufanele ujike ngobumnene futhi udonse ingwegwe phezulu. Hlala eduze kwesikhumba. Izinwele zingaphazamiseka ngesikhathi sokuzihambisa ngobumnene. Ngemuva kokushintshana kaningana, umkhaza uyahoxa uwedwa bese uwuthatha ngehhuku. Ungambulala. Khipha amagciwane esikhunjeni senja yakho. Ngokushesha lapho umkhaza ususwa, ubungozi obuncane lapho bukhona bokungcola kwenja.
