Five kinds of poisonous insects should be guarded around the Dragon Boat Festival
At the turn of spring and summer, the climate is warm and moderate, and all kinds of snakes and insects have entered an active period. If they happen to meet with poisonous insects in a narrow way, how can they help themselves?
Fire ant
The most profound feeling of the victim to the fire ant attack is the burning pain in dozens of places, forming a large number of pustules and blisters.
The body size of fire ant is only 3mm-6mm, and its appearance is not noticeable. Therefore, people and pets often accidentally intrude into their territory, and the invaders will be attacked by fire ants
Fire ant venom contains alkaloids, proteins and various enzymes. In addition to severe pain, it often leads to anaphylaxis and the risk of shock and death. If the pustule is broken, it is easy to cause bacterial secondary infection. The best way to deal with it is to rush to the hospital as soon as possible.
Whitehead
Leeches, also called leeches, live mostly in fresh water, and some are terrestrial and amphibious. The public should check carefully after camping by the water or swimming on the shore. If it is found that the leech is adsorbed on the skin, it must not be forced to pull, so as to prevent the leech suction cup from breaking into the skin and causing infection. You can use your hand or sole to pat hard, and wait for the suction cup and jaw piece to release automatically.
In addition, with vinegar, salt water, tobacco oil to wipe the bite, leeches will also relax the suction cup and fall off.
Scorpion
Immediately tie the wound near the heart with a strap, and cold compress the affected area with ice or ice bag to reduce the absorption and diffusion of toxin, and try to suck out the venom.
At the same time, wash the wound with soapy water, apply alkaline liquid such as sodium bicarbonate solution to the affected area, neutralize the acid poison, relieve the pain, and send to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible.
Centipede
From March to May every year, between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., centipedes come and go more frequently.
After being bitten, the public should wash the wound with alkaline liquid such as soap water, lime water and bicarbonate water to neutralize the acid venom of centipede. Do not use iodine wine or disinfectant water. Send to the doctor for treatment immediately after washing and bandaging.
Tick
The active period of ticks is from April to October every year. When going out for outing, people can apply mosquito repellent water to avoid sitting on the grass.
Because there are barbs in the front of the tick, do not drag the tick when it is found on the body. Use alcohol to smear the tick, and then use tweezers to remove it.
It should be noted that ticks have a certain probability of causing fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, which can be fatal in severe cases. The disease has a incubation period of 1-2 weeks, so it needs close observation after being bitten by ticks. Once high fever and other symptoms appear, seek medical treatment immediately.
A box at the head of the bed
Open cool oil to repel insects
Residents living in damp places can put some calamus and Wormwood Leaves, one or two basins of blooming evening primrose, mint, etc., or several boxes of uncovering cool oil or essential balm. Poisonous insects will avoid because they can't bear their smell.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. It is also a big festival for the whole people to prevent disease, avoid plague and expel poison, and pray for health and longevity. Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, mosquitoes and flies are breeding. There is a tradition of hanging calamus and mugwort leaves around the Dragon Boat Festival, which is proved to have the effect of insect repellent by modern times.
