Next, it's the season of mosquitoes and flies.
The appearance of these pests will inevitably induce infectious diseases such as malaria and filariasis, endangering the physical and mental health of the general public.
In particular, a class of insects known as "flying sulfuric acid", once close to the human body, the skin will be burned, causing redness, swelling, ulceration and other symptoms.
What species is it? What should I do if I am unfortunate enough to be hit?
Reference: On June 5, 2023, Huanqiu.com released a report on "Don't shoot with your hands! It is "flying sulfuric acid", and its venom is so dangerous that people are disfigured and blinded".
"Flying sulphuric acid"
In fact, its scientific name is Cryptoptera, because it has its own venom and the ability to fly, and it is so unexpected when it falls on people's bodies randomly.
Cryptoptera has a wide range of distributions, and can be found all over the world, with a population of nearly 60,000 species.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that its living environment has become complicated, and mountains, lakes, seashores and farmland may become habitats for cryptopteryx.
Despite their ubiquity, the good thing is that they don't have a strong ability to expand and won't cause a certain amount of devastating damage.
However, Cryptoptera does not refer to a specific category, but can be divided into five types according to the different inside, which are carnivorous, herbivorous, flower-eating, saprovorous and fungivorous.
On this basis, there are about 20 species in the world that can secrete venom, and the continental cryptoptera occupies three of them, namely yellow-footed poison, black-footed poison and strange poison.
It is reported that the following June to September is the season when these cryptoptera appear frequently.
However, when people encounter different degrees of bites, there will inevitably be different degrees of redness, swelling and pus ulceration in their parts, which is simply unpreventable.

The "tragedy" caused by the cryptoptera
With the increasing popularity of the dangers of cryptoptera on the Internet, people are no longer ignorant of it, but even so, it is still impossible to completely avoid the occurrence of "tragedy".
Recently, a woman from Hunan was tragically killed by its "poisonous hands" and deeply understood the ruthlessness of its methods.
According to relevant media reports, the woman had already understood the harm of the cryptoptera long before this, so when it landed on the eye position, she only gently patted it off.
But what she didn't expect was that even if she was so careful, her eyes would inevitably be hit the next day, and the middle of her upper eyelid would gradually rot.
As soon as this matter was reported, it directly topped the hot search list, causing heated discussions among the majority of netizens.
A netizen shared his personal experience and strongly emphasized that the disfiguring effect is comparable to sulfuric acid, and it must not be careless.
Reference: Guangming Network released on May 12, 2024 about "Don't shoot! "Flying sulfuric acid" is about to enter an active period, and someone has been hit by a rotten neck".
Fortunately, at the moment when the netizen took the photo, he realized the seriousness of the matter and bought the corresponding ointment to apply it as soon as possible.
It is relatively timely, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.
However, some have made it a priority issue, while others have clearly missed the spotlight.
Like this netizen shared his experience of being hit, using a similar ironic expression, once bitten, the stopwatch has double eyelids.
The most unexpected thing is that some netizens expressed "envy" for this.
A sting turns into double eyelids? It's too cost-effective, even if you go to the hospital, it doesn't necessarily have a good effect, where to recommend it!
Needless to say, the extent of the girl's injuries is an isolated case, not everyone can imitate it, and don't look at it, she did get a double eyelid, but if there was a choice, how would she want to do it again?
People who have not experienced it do not have back pain when they stand and talk, and only when they have experienced it themselves can they know how painful the process is.
If this girl who likes to mention "double eyelids" is lucky, then this one who was stung to the neck is really suffering from an old sin.
I thought it was just a small flying insect, but I subconsciously reached out and pinched it, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a cryptopteryx, even if it was disinfected with alcohol for the first time, it still didn't help.
The redness and swelling that should have appeared the next day were still expected, and accompanied by bursts of burning sensation, the torturer was in pain, but he didn't want to go to the hospital for this.
However, the above is only possible to carry out remedial measures in a short period of time when the "culprit of the crime" is known, and it does not really cause unimaginable consequences.
But there was one who was not so lucky, and was burned without realizing it, because he didn't care about it at first, causing the wound to further fester, which spread to the entire back of his neck.
Therefore, it took a whole year to treat the stunned, and during this period, the back of the neck was really strong and "rotten".
Don't look at the size of the cryptopteryth, only a few millimeters, but its "energy" should not be underestimated.
People really need to be cautious and cautious about their upcoming active period.
Especially at night, the cryptoptera likes to go where there is light, and when you turn on the light, it will break in and spin around the top of your head.
The brighter the light, the more cryptoptera will like it, and the more likely it is to attract them.
So, if you're unlucky, be "polite" to it, because it's really not good.
You give it a "slap", it "pours sulfuric acid" on you, why is that?
Because of the "venom" in the body of the cryptopteryx, the pH value has actually reached the range of strong acid, which is almost the same as the ordinary concentration of hydrochloric acid.
When the human body is contaminated, it is very easy to be "burned", and the symptoms of the above cases appear.
Especially if it breaks out into the eyeball, it will inevitably burn the cornea, so you must seek medical attention in time, otherwise it is not impossible to cause blindness in severe cases.
It is worth mentioning that even if the burned area is well treated, the residual scar is not so easy to disappear and may stay with you for a long time.
Then, if you want to avoid "getting into trouble", you must do these things.

How can it be effectively prevented?
Because cryptoptera is a nocturnal species, it is best to turn on the lights when playing with your phone at night.
Avoid the light only appearing around you, so that the probability of the insect flying to your side will be much reduced.
Or when you open the window for ventilation on weekdays, you must remember to close the screen window with your hand, which not only avoids mosquito harassment, but also eliminates the invasion of cryptoptera to a certain extent.
If you still accidentally let it in, you can use mosquito repellent lamps to physically sanitize, but if you don't have it, don't touch it directly with your hands, and throw it away with a paper towel.
If you still encounter "venom", don't take it seriously, let alone apply drugs and scratch with your hands, and be sure to seek medical attention in time.
In addition, when going out to a denser place in the woods, try to wear long sleeves and long pants, and it is best to be equipped with some mosquito sanitizing agents in case of emergency.
