Cryptoptera: "Flying Sulfuric Acid"

Each segment of the body of Cryptoptera contains toxins, which is a strong acidic poison juice (pH 1~2). The end of the worm's abdomen secretes venom, also known as "flying sulfuric acid".
If you pat the cryptoptera directly with your hands, once the skin is stained with venom, it will occur Cryptoptera dermatitis, and there will be cord-like, punctate edematous erythema, or pimples, blisters, pustules and even burning, itching and other symptoms.
If it occurs on the eyelids or vulva, it will be significantly swollen, and in larger cases, it will be accompanied by fever, dizziness, regional lymphadenopathy and other symptoms.
What should I do if a cryptoptera falls on my body?
How can it be prevented?
If a cryptoptera lands on the skin, do not pat or rub it with your hands, blow it off lightly, or remove it with other objects.
If your hands have touched the insects, do not touch the other parts of your body where they have touched the venom. Immediately wash your skin with alkaline soapy water, seek medical attention and explain the situation to your doctor.
Keep the room clean and reduce weeds and garbage around your home to avoid the breeding of poisonous cryptopterus.
When outdoors, try to wear long clothes and trousers, avoid going to grass, rice fields, vegetable gardens, etc., and remember not to slap if you encounter cryptopteras.
When sleeping, turn off indoor lights, close screen doors and windows, and hang mosquito nets to prevent insects from entering the living environment.
