Awareness and selection of mosquito repellent products
Indoors we can choose screens, mosquito nets for isolation, or mosquito shoots to eliminate mosquitoes, while outdoors we need to use chemical methods to repel mosquitoes. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Center for Pesticide Information (NPIC) recommend the following three chemical repellent compounds: DEET, Icaridin, and IR3535.
DEET：
Chemical name: N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide, also known as toeto, commonly known as deworming amine, deeteridine, is currently the world's largest amount of repellent chemicals. Although popular around the world for more than 50 years, BUTT is not perfect, it has a certain degree of solubility in plastic products, but after more than 10 billion people around the world to use testing, DEET safety has been recognized by all countries around the world, less than 30% of the content of DEET mosquito repellent products is absolutely safe, but not recommended for babies under 2 months of age.
Icaridin：
Chemical Name: 1-(1-Methylpropoxycarbonyl)-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperidine, with many trade names, is the most effective insect repellent besides DEET certified by the CDC. Chinese named Ekaridin, also known as Picaridin Paikaredin. It was officially launched in the new century. Overall, Icaridin is not much different from DEET's mosquito repellent effect, but the safety improvement is great, not only solves the problem of DEET dissolving plastics, but also has less irritation to the skin after testing, and then it is also not recommended for babies within 2 months.
IR3535：
Chemical name: 3-(N-n-n-n-acetyl)-ethyl aminopropionate, commonly known as mosquito repellent or mosquito repellent, many components are marked with ethyl butylaminopropionate, Chinese imenine is used less. IR3535 is a compound invented by Merck, Germany, and the biggest advantage is safety. Among the mosquito repellents recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), IR3535 is the only product that can be given to infants, pregnant women, and lactating women.
Use of mosquito repellent products
1. Allergy test should be carried out before use, especially for special groups such as children, pregnant women and lactating women.
2. Most mosquito repellent products contain alcohol and should be used away from the source of fire.
3. Do not apply mosquito repellent products to the wound, do not spray directly on the face, especially avoid contact with the eyes and mouth.
4. It is recommended to use physical mosquito repellent for pregnant women, lactating women, infants under 6 months old and other special groups.
5, usually the effective protection time of class A mosquito repellent products ≥ 6 hours, and the effective protection time of class B is ≥ 4 hours, but the effect of mosquito repellent will be affected by temperature, sweating, contact with water, etc. Parents should give the baby protection in time.
Treatment after mosquito bites
1. Wash with soapy water, scratch less, do not irritate the bite part.
2. If there is local redness and itching, you can wrap ice cubes with a towel, or put a wet towel into the refrigerator and apply it to the bite site, every 2 to 3 hours, most of the lumps will subside within a few days.
3. If the redness, swelling, itching continue, and the cold compress is ineffective, you can apply local mint cream (suitable for babies over 2 years old) or calamine lotion to relieve itching.
4. If the bite is broken, a little antibiotic ointment, such as mopirocin ointment or erythromycin ointment, can be used; when the exudate stops, apply calamine lotion.
5, if the eyelids are bitten, avoid scratching, do not use cool oil and wind oil for the baby, other parts of the age of 3 can not be used, the above products on the skin irritation is larger.
6. After the baby is bitten by a mosquito, if there is fever, headache, continuous redness and swelling in the ulcer and itching symptoms, he should seek medical treatment in time.
