Tomb sweeping and outing on the Qingming Festival should pay attention to the ticks entering the active period!

He Gang, a senior pest control worker, said: "In our south, ticks begin to appear in April when the peak of activity begins, ticks have a very sensitive sense of smell, especially the smell of carbon dioxide exhaled by the human body or animals, sweat glands, about ten meters away can smell this smell, the tick climbs up, climbs to the tip of the grass, when people or animals pass by, it is easy to attach to the body." ”

Ticks are so ferocious

What should I do if I am accidentally bitten?

Expert tip, don't shoot!

The correct way to do this is to apply alcohol to the tick first, then gently clamp the head of the tick with small tweezers close to the skin, pull the tick out vertically in the direction of the skin, and then disinfect the bite area with iodine or alcohol.

He Gang, a senior pest control worker, said: "If it is just bitten, we try to gently pull it away with our hands, but if it is found that when it bites, half or one-third of the body has entered the skin, at this time, do not slap, hard pull out the mouth spine of the tick, may remain in the body, thus causing infection, if you find that the bite is deeper, you must go to a regular hospital, through a professional way to deal with." ”

How to prevent tick bites

The scary thing about ticks is that they can transmit a wide range of diseases. After a tick bite, the tick's saliva causes peripheral vasculitis to cause local congestion, edema, bleeding, and thickening of the stratum corneum. If there is an insect-borne infection, symptoms such as high fever, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur, and many people will mistake it for a cold and fever, and as a result, treatment will be delayed. It should be noted that ticks generally live in parts of animals with thin skin that are not easy to be scratched, such as the scalp, waist, armpits, groin and ankles of the human body, and it is necessary to pay more attention to protect these places when going out.

Tips

1

When you go out, you can wear long sleeves and long pants and high-cut socks to minimize the exposed parts of your body.

2

Apply herb oil to the face, neck, and hands, and apply it to areas that are prone to bites before putting on clothes.

3

Try not to go outdoors in a grassy place or in a dark, damp place.
