This doesn\u2019t mean that the virus isn\u2019t dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>Powassan is a disease transmitted by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/tag\/deer-ticks\/\">deer ticks<\/a>. It&#8217;s symptoms are worse than Lyme Disease and there&#8217;s no cure. One property that makes Powassan more problematic is that the virus can be passed from a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/01\/new-disease-transmitted-by-deer-tick-found-in-new-jersey-part-1-of-2\/\">deer tick<\/a> to a human in less than 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>For some, Powassan has the potential to result in long-lasting neurological damage or even death. Symptoms are similar to those of meningitis or encephalitis and can take anywhere from one week to one month for symptomatic signs to develop after you&#8217;ve been bitten.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms to look for include headaches, fever and vomiting, along with weakness, loss of memory, and impairment of speech and coordination. The Powassan virus can also lead to swelling in the brain.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re in need of getting your home free of pests, Allison Pest Control in NJ can help create a healthier environment.
