Recently, the temperature has gradually risen, the vegetation is lush, the tick activity has gradually increased, and the fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome caused by tick bites has also entered the high season.
The health science popularization experts of Luoshan County Maternal and Child Health Hospital introduced the situation of tick disease prevention and control, the characteristics and hazards of ticks, the symptoms, transmission routes, and precautions of tick diseases to the students in detail during the high temperature period in the form of PPT, so as to improve everyone's awareness and attention to tick diseases. In particular, students are reminded to pay attention to daily protection, try to avoid sitting and lying for a long time in grassy woods and other environments, do not go to weeds, and do not touch wild animals. If you are entering a wild environment such as grassland, farmland, or forest, or when you come into contact with domestic animals, take personal protection, do not wear sandals, apply insect repellent water to exposed skin, and make sure that there are no ticks attached when you leave. Once a bite is suspected, do not rush to remove the insect body to avoid remaining in the body, and should seek medical attention in time.
In the last part of popular science, our popular science teacher told the students to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially hand hygiene, in the spring and summer, and taught the students the seven-step handwashing method in the form of nursery rhymes, so that the students can be the first responsible person for their health from an early age.
