Spring flowers bloom, grass grows warblers fly
It is a good time to go out and look for spring
Many citizens go to the riverside to play
Chun Xiaomei reminds you
It's fun to go out
But health and safety are more important
At present, it is the vigorous period for the reproduction of snails, the intermediate host of schistosome, and if we are not careful, we may become the next target of schistosomiasis! At the same time, the whole city is also carrying out large-scale snail extermination, and if citizens pick wild vegetables and beat rice dumpling leaves by the river, they may not only be "targeted" by schistosomiasis, but also have the risk of coming into contact with snail killing drugs. In order to make the trip more secure and enjoyable, Chun Xiaomei has prepared a few safety tips for you to play by the river, let's learn together!
Go out to the riverside and pay attention to personal safety
The vegetation along the river is luxuriant, the wetland is full of silt, and the environment is relatively complex, so it is very dangerous to accidentally fall into the quagmire or fall into the river. Chun Xiaomei hereby appeals to citizens and friends to stay away from the river, move in a safe area, and pay attention to personal safety when visiting the riverside.
Go to the riverside and pay attention to prevent the invasion of schistosomiasis
Schistosoma is a parasite parasitic in humans or mammals, most of the eggs produced by adult worms enter the liver with the bloodstream, causing liver damage, and the other part of the eggs are excreted with feces, the eggs hatch out of the larvae in the water and invade the body of the snail to develop into cercariae into the water body, once humans and animals come into contact with the infected water, it only takes 10 seconds to drill into the body through the skin and be infected.
Citizens must pay attention to the warning signs along the river, and do not graze or play in the water on the river beach with snails, so as not to come into contact with the infected water and cause schistosomiasis infection.
Go to the riverside to play, pay attention to the pollution of snail drugs
The snail is the only intermediate host of schistosoma parasitism, it is a female and dioecious, aquatic and terrestrial amphibian snail, which is a right spiral conical shape, composed of two parts: snail shell and soft body. Snail eradication is an important measure to control schistosomiasis. In order to control and block the spread of schistosomiasis and prevent human and animal infection, the city's blood prevention department will organize and carry out drug killing snail action in key environments every spring.
↓ The appearance of some snails in the picture below is similar to that of snails, please pay attention to distinguish them, do not confuse them~↓
The Nanjing Center for Disease Control and Prevention once again reminds the general public:
Please pay attention to the warning reminders by the riverside, do not go to the river beach to graze, dig wild vegetables, beat dumpling leaves, play in the water and swim during the snail eradication period, so as not to come into contact with snail killing drugs and infected water;
Personnel who really want to go to the riverside for production and construction should do a good job of protection, such as wearing gloves and rubber boots;
If you accidentally come into contact with a suspicious water body, you can consult the local disease control department, and if you feel unwell, you should seek medical attention in time.
