Seeing that the weather is getting better and better, and it is the season to take the baby out to high, Wen Wen's father is ready to take the child to outdoor camping. Then, after everything was prepared and the itinerary was arranged, a short video on the Internet quickly extinguished the enthusiasm for wanting to go to the wave.
01 and 2-year-old children were sucked by ticks for many days, and the doctor took it out and was still alive
The general content of this short video is: a family of three goes to the forest park to play, and the 2-year-old child always scratches the back of his head after returning home. At first, the parents did not pay attention until 4 days later, when the mother noticed that a small ball of meat had grown on the back of her son's head.
After taking the child to the hospital, it was found that the tick had burrowed into the child's skin and needed to be removed surgically. Through surgery, the doctor removed the tick, which had been sucking blood for 5 days, and the tick was not only alive, but also enlarged dozens of times.
According to doctors, the biggest feature of ticks is that they will burrow into the skin to suck blood, and at the same time release toxins, and in severe cases, their lives will be dangerous.
In Xinyang, Henan Province, 5 people were directly or indirectly infected with the virus carried by ticks, thus suffering from "tick disease", resulting in the death of 4 people.
Wen Wen Dad wants to remind everyone that summer is the season when ticks are active, and everyone must pay attention to ticks when playing outdoors. Once bitten, the wound needs to be treated promptly and correctly.
How? This mother's "two decisiveness" saved the baby, or worth learning.
5-year-old Linlin, when she went camping outdoors with her parents, she accidentally got bitten by a tick on her left leg. When the mother found out that her daughter had been bitten, half of the tick's body burrowed into the body.
Because my mother often pays attention to hot searches, she knows that it is the season when ticks are active, and she also knows the harm after being bitten by ticks. So he shouted to Linlin's father, who was playing with his mobile phone: Come quickly, my daughter has been bitten by ticks.
When Linlin's father ran over, he looked at the ticks on his daughter's legs and wanted to reach out and pull them out;
Mom decisively stopped: Can't pull out! Now that the tick's head has burrowed into the skin, forcibly pulling out will leave its head stuck in the skin, which will be more dangerous.
At this time, Linlin's mother, while comforting her daughter, took out the spare alcohol in the bag and dripped a few drops of alcohol on the head of the tick. For a moment, the tick's head seemed to come out a little, but it still bit Linlin's calf deadly.
Looking at the crying daughter, the mother picked up the daughter and asked the father to start the car and go to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor quickly pulled out the tick through professional tools. The mother also gave the doctor a detailed explanation of her emergency measures, and after the doctor listened, he praised him one after another: You did the right thing, "two decisive" saved the baby! After being bitten by a tick, it cannot be pulled out hard.
"Two decisiveness" refers to:
(1) After discovering that her daughter was bitten by ticks, she decisively stopped Linlin's father from pulling it by hand;
(2) When I can't pull out, I resolutely choose to go to the hospital and seek the help of a doctor.
02, what is a tick, what happens after being bitten?
Wen Wen's father had a detailed review of the tick's "past and present lives" and found that it may be a "distant relative" of the spider, a small animal that can suck blood.
Ticks like humid environments, such as woods, grass, bushes, etc., which are the "base camp" of its life. Therefore, parents should beware of ticks when taking their children to parks, lawns, and camping.
Ticks are very cunning, unlike mosquito bites, the skin will itch, red pimples. After being bitten by a tick, it is generally painless or itchy at first, and it is difficult to detect.
After it sucks blood to a certain extent, red envelopes and black moles will appear on the skin, and some people will also have fever, rashes, headaches, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Therefore, when taking children out to play in the summer, be sure to pay attention to ticks!
03, after being bitten by ticks, don't pull hard
Seeing this, many people may say: ticks are so dangerous, after being bitten, what should be done? Can you slap it to death like a mosquito?
Stop, you certainly can't shoot it directly!
Ticks have barbs in their mouths, and when you slap them, the barbs may pierce into the skin and cause infection.
You can't slap it to death, and you can't pull it hard and pull it out hard! If the pull is not clean, leaving some "souvenirs" in the skin, it will be troublesome.
This correct "tick removal" strategy, parents can put away:
Step 1: Remove using forceps
When going out to play, it is recommended that parents prepare a small tweezer in the bag, if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten by ticks, you can use tweezers to clamp the head of the tick, do not clip the abdomen.
After firmly grasping the head of the tick, do not rotate, twist or shake your hands, and directly pull it out vertically upwards. Then disinfect the wound with iodine or alcohol, and put the tick in a sealed bag or bottle to avoid wound infection and deterioration, so that the doctor can refer to the diagnosis and treatment.
If the tick's head is not pulled out, the next step is still needed.
Step 2: Remove the tick's head
First clean the wound with alcohol, and then use a sterilized needle to pick out the head of the tick. If you can't handle it on your own, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and seek the help of a doctor.
It is worth noting that do not pull, hard, crush, burn ticks, otherwise it will only stimulate ticks to secrete more saliva and increase the possibility of infection.
04, if you want to defeat ticks, prevention is the key
If you want to take your baby out to have fun in the summer, you still need to master the pre-"tick" strategy!
Before you go out, you can do this:
(1) As far as possible, do not go to places where ticks often appear, such as woods, grasslands, bushes, etc.;
(2) If you want to go, adults and children wear light-colored long clothes and trousers as much as possible, and tie into the legs of the pants, and then choose a pair of high-top shoes, wear a wide-brimmed hat at the same time, and then go out after being fully armed, so that ticks have nowhere to bite.
When you get home, you'll want to do this:
First of all, change clothes in time, some cunning ticks, may attach to the child's clothes. So, the first thing to do when you go home is to change your clothes in time and wash them with hot water.
Secondly, check the child's whole body, especially the arms, ears, navel, armpits, neck, back of the head and other parts, whether there are traces of tick bites.
Finally, within 2 hours of going home, take a hot shower, which is both comfortable and can check the whole body for bites.
All in all, ticks are small, but they really can't be underestimated! On the basis of prevention, understand this "tick" strategy, in case of bites, it will not be busy.
