If it occurs in the eyelids or vulva, it is obviously swollen, and if the reaction is severe or large, it will be accompanied by fever, dizziness, and local lymphadenopathy.
Zhang Li said that Cryptoptera does not bite people, and people suffer from Cryptoptera dermatitis because the skin is exposed to a strong acidic venom in the body of Cryptoptera. Therefore, when encountering cryptoptera flying to the skin, do not shoot it directly with your hands, the correct way is to gently blow it away or use other items to drive it away.
