Recently, the newspaper sister found that there is a small bug that has landed on the first hot search.
The cause is that a netizen told his own experience: when turning off the lights and playing on the mobile phone, he encountered a light-oriented insect crawling on his face, because he was worried that it was a cryptopteropsis that he had seen before, so he did not shoot it to death, but gently stroked it.

Although the way of handling is very correct, it is still tricked because of a certain amount of contact. The skin darkens and becomes reddened when exposed to it, and it can hurt if it is not touched.
Many netizens in the comments said that they had also been attacked by this insect, and it was really scary to see the injury.
There are also people who are enlarged by edema without seeing the bug itself, and the skin color change disappears completely for a whole year.
And even more frightening, the whole skin is corroded...
Cryptoptera, some people may not have heard of it, as a common insect in the southern summer, many people have been tortured by it.
Many people shared their experiences, and they can see that encountering cryptoptera is indeed a more frequent and dangerous thing.
And the more terrible thing about it is that when it flies to a person, you may not have much time to react, and it is easy to think that it is a mosquito or other small insect, directly shot to death.
The moment you shoot it to death, the acidic toxin in its body will come into direct contact with the skin, causing an inflammatory response to the skin, a symptom commonly known as cryptoptera dermatitis.
Even if it is not directly slapped on the body, if the hand that has touched the body fluids of the cryptopter is touched and scratched other body parts, it will be hit.
So, if you find yourself with inexplicable spots, flaky or cord-like erythematous papules, blisters, pustules, and sometimes itching or burning pain, you have to consider whether it is a pot of cryptoptera.
Because many times the strokes occur in sleep or unconsciously, the cryptopters have the meaning of mysterious killers.
However, the name Cryptoptera refers to the family Cryptoptera, and there are 30,000 to 40,000 species found worldwide, of which more than 200 are really harmful to humans.
What we see on the Internet are mostly the three types of yellow-footed poisonous cryptoptera, black-footed cryptoptera and strange poisonous cryptoptera distributed in China.
What should I do when I encounter Cryptopterynges? The first thing to understand is that unlike insects such as wasps, cryptoptera itself does not bite or sting people.
The venom in its body is essentially a strong acid with a pH value of 1 to 2, and students who have studied chemistry should know that this level of acid is already more dangerous.
So the marks left after fighting with cryptopters are generally more tragic, if they are slapped on the face... I can't even think about the consequences.
The best way to deal with it is to see cryptopters not flap directly, but blow it away with force.
In addition to cryptoptera, we usually hear of some other scary bugs. For example, last year, a 5-year-old boy drank raw water, which caused live ants to remain in the body for more than a year.
However, this kind of parasitism in the body is still a minority, in general, when encountering ants, we can handle it ourselves.
As a well-known "vampire", after being bitten by an ant, there is usually no pain, and it does not transmit diseases, and we have to face more wound management problems.
For example, you can try soapy water and salt, alkaline substances and substances containing strong electrolytes can quickly kill ants. Or you can try slapping the skin around it so that its suction cups come off naturally.
The greater threat is ticks, which secrete harmful substances while sucking blood, causing various diseases, so it is more necessary to guard against the degree of danger.
Every year, you can see reports of tick injuries, and if you don't deal with it in a timely manner, if you don't respond properly, you may even die.
To prevent ticks, we should pay attention to check the situation around you when you contact grass, woods, deciduous piles and other places for a long time, try to wear long-sleeved pants, avoid lush grass, and remember to clean it when you go home.
If ticks are found on the skin, be sure to remove them as soon as possible and check for traces of them in other parts of the body, clothing, and pets.
If the tick has begun to bite and penetrate the skin, it can be pulled out with forceps at a vertical angle and then disinfected. Be careful to try to pinch the tick's mouth, not the body.
If you have symptoms such as headaches, physical paralysis, and breathing difficulties afterwards, do not take any chances and seek medical attention immediately.
Looking at these examples, I feel that there will still be many unknown risks in life, and we may rarely think about them before encountering specific things.
Therefore, I hope that everyone can remember the basic handling methods when encountering these situations, and do not let their bodies suffer avoidable harm because of insufficient knowledge reserves.
