It's summer, and it's hot and muggy
Will you notice
In the bathroom
A small black worm often emerges
It looks like a fly from a distance and a small moth up close
Lie quietly on the wall
That's the gnats
"Shoot dead mosquitoes"
A man was forced to remove his eyeball
Previously, a small flying insect flew down the lower eyelid of Mr. Wu's left eye, and he casually slapped the insect to death, but it didn't take long for his left eye to start red, swollen and painful.
After seeking medical attention, he was diagnosed with seasonal conjunctivitis, which became more severe after eye medication, his visual acuity decreased from normal to 0.02, and he developed symptoms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, which ulcerated in and around his eye, and eventually had to remove the entire eyeball of his left eyeball.
The doctor reminds that once a flying insect enters the eyes, do not rush to rub it, be sure to stay calm, and ask for help from people around you or use the natural wind to blow the insects away. If the insect still feels eye discomfort after leaving, it can be rinsed immediately with saline or purified water, and anti-infection eye drops can be used. Once it is in the depths of the eyeball, it is difficult to deal with it on your own, so you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
A small flying insect is in big trouble
Many people should have seen this little flying insect in the toilet.
Although adult gnats do not transmit deadly germs through blood, they can be like flies, with various germs in the filthy environment on their legs, and then fly to other appliances, bringing risks to human health. The scaly hair particles that fall from them can also cause respiratory diseases.
In addition, the eye is a good natural "culture medium" for bacteria. Many insects carry a large number of germs themselves, and their hands will carry a lot of bacteria after "intimate" contact with them, and when their eyes feel uncomfortable, many people will inadvertently rub their eyes with their hands, which will bring bacteria from their hands into their eyes, resulting in infection.

In addition, gnat larvae can also parasitize the human body.
Although they do not need a parasitic host to grow, larvae or eggs that accidentally enter the human body can parasitize the mouth, nose, tear ducts, genitourinary system, etc., and cause infection.
How to avoid the "attack" of gnats?
In the comment area, many netizens left messages to share their own tips for dealing with gnats.
Night Feather: Insect repellent floor drains can't protect against such small bugs. Pour five yuan of sodium citrate water (about 600g) into the toilet sewer pipe every month. Don't flush. Just let it spread slowly. It is best not to flush for more than 10 hours.
Wan Xin: My toilet has always had the problem of gnats and odor return, buy a rubber for three yuan, and cover the floor drain after taking a bath to solve the problem.
Jiang-yz: When we first find it, we usually wash all the water that can be stagnant and then flush it down the drain. The first wave of drains and washbasins is filled with unclogging agent and allowed to stand. Then rinse. The second wave is filled with insecticide and let stand. After the last wave of rinsing, pour boiling water. Generally, if there is not too much intersection with other residents. You won't see this bug for at least a year or two. (The roof water tank is cleaned regularly on our property.) ）
A: Insist on checking all walls every day to see if there is a little black fly, and if there is, wipe it away with a paper towel, less than a week, to ensure that there is no little black fly. After that, one or two will appear once in a while, just wipe them away in time.
So, how exactly to control this little black worm? The solution of the gnats in different places needs to be adapted to local conditions and the appropriate control method should be selected↓↓
