Recently, a woman in Hunan
The Eye tribe has a cryptoptera
Because I know it's dangerous
Just gently rub it off with your hands
I didn't expect to be recruited the next day
The middle of the eyelids festered
As soon as the news came out
It attracted the attention of the majority of netizens
This is not the first time that cryptoptera has been on the hot search
Cryptoptera
Some people also call it a green-waisted insect and a flying ant
It is the "little influencer" of the insect world
Many people have been tricked!
Some people have double eyelids because of it
Someone rejoiced a second ago
The next second suffered
What kind of bug is Cryptoptera?
June to September is the active period of Cryptoptera
Don't look at its small size, most of them are only 7~13 mm long, but their family is quite large, in the family of cryptoptera, there are more than 63,000 species combined!
Every year after the rain from June to September, it is the active period of this large family.
They survive in weedy, damp places, and the hotter the weather, the more frequent they are. I like to fly to a bright place, especially at night, and fly around the lights in your room, the stronger the light, the easier it is to attract it.
Guangdong also has this bug
Don't shoot when you encounter it!
It will "pour sulfuric acid" on you
Cryptoptera contains an acidic liquid with a pH of 1-2. This is already in the range of strong acids, which is about the same as the pH of ordinary concentrations of hydrochloric acid.
Zou Yang, chief physician of Beijing Friendship Hospital and Beijing Institute of Tropical Medicine, introduced, "Each segment of the body of the cryptoptera contains toxins, which is a strong acidic poisonous juice, which flies into the room at night and falls on the surface of the human body to secrete poisonous juice, or the insect body is smashed and releases venom, which can cause dermatitis within 2-4 hours, also known as cryptoptera dermatitis." ”
After exposure to Cryptoptera secretions, the following changes are usually experienced:
Burning sensation
↓
The skin is reddened and fades purplish-red
↓
Grayish-white pustules of varying size
↓
Expand into patches or strips of pustules
↓
Blistering
↓
scabby
↓
After healing, the damaged skin leaves brown spots
If it gets into the eyes, it will burn the conjunctiva and cornea, and if not treated in time, it will even cause blindness in severe cases.
What should I do if I encounter a cryptoptera?
"When you find a cryptopteryx, don't beat or rub it with your hands, but gently blow it off or shake it off." Zou Yang said, "If you accidentally come into contact with the body fluids of Cryptoptera, you should wash the damaged skin repeatedly with soap in time, and wipe the damaged skin repeatedly with 4% soda solution or 10% ammonia to neutralize the toxins." After the appearance of herpes, analgesia and itching, anti-inflammatory and astringent drugs are used to reduce irritation, and severe cases should be treated in the dermatology department of the hospital in time. ”
At home
You can tape it or use a tissue to catch it and throw it away, but don't touch the venom.
on the body
Remember the 4 words: "blow the bomb can be broken", and blowing like a lung capacity test will definitely send it away.
If it doesn't work, use the "finger magic skill", and hit it while it is unprepared, and remember not to bounce it on other people.
Venom has been touched
Where you touch the venom, don't touch the rest of your body. After washing your skin with water or alkaline soapy water, seek medical attention and explain the situation to your doctor.
Symptoms are suspected
Doctor! Don't apply the ointment yourself or scratch it with your hands to prevent secondary infection.
These methods reduce the chance of encountering it
1. Don't play with your phone in the dark
Play with your phone on the lights, but also be careful not to turn the lights on too brightly.
2. Keep a snack before bed
Many times, Cryptoptera has already "warmed" you in bed, so check more before going to bed to avoid being pressed.
3. Regular "cleaning"
Keep the indoor and outdoor environment clean to prevent the breeding of cryptoptera.
4. Install window screens in your home
Cryptoptera are phototaxis, and when there is a light in the room, the bugs will try to enter the room, and screen windows and doors can act as a good barrier.
5. Wear long sleeves when you go out
When you go to parks, suburbs, and villages, you should wear long sleeves and long pants, and carry mosquito repellent and insecticides with you.
Poisonous insects are active in summer
A bite is susceptible to a variety of diseases
Severe can be life-threatening
Please keep the most complete insect control manual and how to deal with it
