What is Cryptoptera?
Cryptoptera is a kind of beetle that looks a bit like an ant, with a body length of no more than 1 centimeter, and at first glance it looks like it has no wings, hence the name "Cryptoptera"
Deng Wanying, a dermatologist at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University, said that the large-scale appearance of cryptopteryx is from June to September every year, especially during the rainy season. They are usually found in wet grass and can be seen circling around the lights at night.
Being bitten or scarred
Yang Meng, deputy director of the Department of Dermatology of the Second People's Hospital of Nanning City, Guangxi, said that after being bitten by cryptopterus, there will be edematous erythema, and there will be some small blisters or pustules on the erythema, accompanied by a sharp stinging sensation.
Rinse with soapy water or baking soda
The doctor told reporters that cryptoptera insects generally do not bite the skin directly when they fly to people, but if they squeeze and rub the insect body, the insects will secrete a strong acidic toxin, causing damage to human skin. If the cryptoptera lands on the skin, it can be blown away, or it can be waved away.
In addition, because the venom of Cryptoptera is strongly acidic, it can be neutralized with an alkaline liquid after being bitten. If you're at home, you can rinse with soapy water or 4% baking soda.
