Mosquito bites can be killed!700,000 people are killed every year, especially in summer

The shortcomings of summer, in addition to being hot, are also annoying mosquitoes.

They seem to be everywhere, relying on taking our blood as a living and being bitten, it will itch for several days.

Most people may think that the biggest harm of mosquitoes is this.

However, a data released by the World Health Organization is shocking: about 700,000 people die every year due to mosquito bites!

01

Mosquito bites can cause death

On June 14, in a video program of CCTV, Wang Chuanlin, chief physician of the emergency department of the People's Hospital of Peking University, also said:

Mosquito ranks first among animals that cause human death in the world, and about 700,000 people die each year due to mosquito bites.

This is mainly because when mosquitoes are bitten, they will not only suck human blood, but also spread the pathogens carried in its body to a healthy human body, causing people to be infected, and even cause death.

Whether mosquitoes are infected with diseases are related to the following factors:

1. Mosquito's sensitivity to pathogens, that is, whether mosquitoes can carry certain pathogens.

2. Mosquito's affinity to people, that is, mosquitoes that are like to take people with blood are more likely to spread diseases.

3. The number of mosquito, the more mosquito the pathogenesis carrying the pathogenesis, the more likely to spread the disease.

4. Mosquito carries viruses and onset seasons, that is, the season when mosquitoes are reproduced with a large amount of reproduction with the pathogen is susceptible to the disease season, which is more likely to spread the disease.

Be wary of these diseases

Summer is a high incidence season for mosquito breeding. It should be particularly alert to the following diseases that can be transmitted by mosquitoes.

1. Dengue fever

The typical manifestations of dengue fever are the sudden fever, joint muscle pain, and rash. The onset time is usually only one week, and the mortality rate is about 1%.

However, there is also an atypical dengue fever. When it occurs, there is bleeding, and the tendency to develop into shock syndrome. In severe cases, the mortality rate is as high as 15%-50%.

At present, there are no special effects on the prevention and control of dengue fever.

Therefore, everyone needs to raise awareness of prevention, so as to be early, early isolation, and early treatment, and in addition to symptomatic treatment, coupled with preventive treatment to prevent bleeding and shock.

2. malaria

Infectious parasites caused by malaria are caused by malaria. There are still malaria in more than 100 countries and regions in the world, especially in Africa. Each year, millions of children die from the disease.

The symptoms of malaria incidence include cold, fever, sweating, spleen and anemia, and severe illnesses can appear in severe illnesses.

For infants and young children infected, delays infected people, and infections with a variety of anti -Plasmid plants, the mortality rate is higher.

For malaria, the most important thing should be treated as soon as possible, and the most important thing is to control the source of infection.

Fortunately, the World Health Organization announced in 2021 that China has eliminated malaria.

3. Popularized encephalitis

Summer and autumn is a high-incidence season for epidemic encephalitis (referred to as B-brain), and 80%-90%of cases occur in July, August, and September.

Children under the age of 10 are high incidence of the brain, and the mortality rate is also high. Some patients with severe patients will have sequelae after illness.

The main symptoms of the brain are high, coma, coma, convulsions, meningus stimulation signs and neurological symptoms.

In addition to the treatment of medical treatment as soon as possible, the most important thing is prevention, especially for children's mosquito prevention.

Anti -mosquito is the key

The most important thing for mosquito may spread, the most important thing is to prevent it. In summer, we must do a good job of mosquito preventing mosquitoes.

1. Clear the breeding ground

Wet and poorly ventilated places are easy to breed mosquitoes. Pay attention to mosquito extinguishing mosquitoes in these places in the home.

For example, the floor drain of the kitchen and bathroom is regularly inspected, and there is no stagnant water at the floor drain, and the pesticides are sprayed regularly to eliminate the living space of mosquitoes.

For those who have vases and water in the home, they should be replaced once a week and carefully clean up the accumulated water at the flower pot.

2. Install the screens of the screen window

When there are more mosquitoes, strengthening physical mosquitoes can also achieve good results.

The room can be installed with gauze and screens to prevent mosquitoes from invading the room.

When there are more mosquitoes, you can also apply the screen window with insecticide to play a better anti -mosquito effect.

The mosquito net can also be installed on the bed, and the room at night was attacked by mosquitoes.

3. Wear long -sleeved and trousers outdoors

There are many outdoor mosquitoes, it is best to wear long -sleeved trousers with light -colored clothes.

Because mosquitoes like darkness and no light, light -colored clothes have better reflective effects and are not suitable for mosquito stays.

04

These mosquito -proof sayings are not reliable

Eat garlic or indoor garlic

No scientific trials have confirmed that mosquitoes will have a significant response to garlic odor.

Vitamin B1 can carry mosquitoes

No sufficient data shows that vitamin B1 mosquito repellent is effective.

Alkaline water basin method

The aroma emitted by laundry powder and soap can attract mosquitoes to lay eggs here. This statement has no scientific basis.

Mosquito repellent grass can mosquito

The mosquito repellent substance contained in the mosquito repellent grass will be volatilized only after being physical damage. The smell exuding mosquito repellent emitted by the leaves alone is not enough.

Mosquito repellent software for mobile phone can be mosquito repellent

The effect of ultrasonic mosquito repellent is small, and most mobile phone mosquito repellent software cannot emit ultrasonic waves.

Finally, if you are bitten by mosquitoes, symptoms such as fever and rash occur. In addition to medical treatment in time, mosquito -resistant isolation measures (such as wearing long -sleeved trousers, mosquito repellent, etc.) should be taken. friend.

Of course, although mosquitoes can be infected with diseases, you don't have to panic. As long as you do daily mosquito prevention and hygiene, the chance of infection is still very small.Reference
