Be careful!This fatal little worm does not do it after being bitten into the active period!

Recently, there are reports that Mr. Zhang, Jiangsu, was bitten by a tapeworm while camping with his family, and half of the worm drilled into his body. The doctor reminded that being bitten by tapeworms may cause forest encephalitis and Lem disease. Previously, patients had been reported to death after being bitten by tapeworms.

Terrace bite can occur throughout the year, and from April to September each year, there is a period of active tapeworm. During this period, people's outdoor activities increased. Especially children who like to play with grass and woods, they are easily "stared" when they are not careful.

So what exactly is a tapeworm? What should I do after being bitten by a tapeworm? A reporter from the Science and Technology Daily interviewed relevant experts.

Hedu animals living with blood -sucking

Ricknivals are a dangerous vampire nodular animal. It is also called grass climbing, dog beans, and ticks, which are divided into hard ravioli and soft pupa. Data show that tapeworm lives in forests, bushes and grass, and often parasitizes on some animals to live with blood sucking.

Wang Yang, a dermatologist in Beijing Children's Hospital, said that tapeworms especially like to bite the body's skin that is thinner and easy to be ignored, such as scalp, behind the ear, underarms, groin, under ankle, toes, etc.

The tapewed mouth is complicated and has some "piercing", which can be buried in the skin of the human body and suck blood. It is difficult to remove it directly. Wang Yang said that when not blood -sucking, tapeworms are like sesame grains, attached to the surface of the human body or animal skin, like a "small mole". The volume of tapeworms can be increased by dozens or even 100 times.

In the process of blood -sucking, the saliva of tapeworms will also secrete neurotoxin, leading to dysfunction of sports fiber conduction in the human body, which can cause respiratory failure and even cause death.

According to the "Classification and identification of important medical insects in China", the blood absorption of ticks causes great harm to humans and animals, which will not only cause blood loss of the host, but also cause an allergic response to the host, and ulcers are often formed. What's more serious is that ticks can spread the diseases of people and animals.在虫媒传染病中，蜱虫传播的病原体种类最多，仅我国目前就发现了巴贝虫病、森林脑炎、克里米亚-刚果出血热、北亚蜱媒斑点热、Q热、土A variety of diseases such as Rafobacteriosis, Lym disease, fever, human Eric's disease, etc.

It is reported that after being bitten by tapeworms, the shortest person can occur after 2 to 3 days, usually after 1 to 2 weeks, and some may occur after about 1 month. The common symptoms after being bitten by tapeworms are fever, fatigue, muscle soreness, chills, etc. The parts that often affect the lesions are lung, lymph nodes, liver, skin, and central nervous system. Severe patients may have conscious abnormalities.

Can't force it out after being bitten

Experts remind that after being bitten by tapeworms, do not pull it out forcibly pulling it out, because the tick's head has a "pouring thorn", and forcibly removing the tick's head in the body. It cannot be squeezed, crushed, or pierced the body, and it cannot be crushed or patted. Once the tick's head is broken in the body, the venom is piled up in the wound, and the person may be poisoned.

Li Jian, deputy chief physician of the third affiliated hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, suggested that after being bitten by tapeworms, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time. , Then disinfect the local. If patients have symptoms of poisoning, they need to be treated according to the doctor's advice.

If you need to enter such areas, you should pay attention to personal protection, try to wear long -sleeved clothes, trousers, and do not wear sandals. Pay attention to tightly pants legs or stuffed the legs in socks or shoes to minimize the naked parts as much as possible. In addition, wearing light -colored clothes can be easy to find tadpoles on the body, and try to choose smooth surface knitted clothing, so that tapeworms are not easy to adhere.

Wang Yang reminded that in order to prevent mosquitoes from biting, some people will use deworming spray containing dewormyamine on the exposed skin, but it should be noted that newborns under 2 months should not use any mosquito repellent The agent can use the mosquito net for physical obstruction.

Experts said that after returning from the grassland, forests and other places in the suburbs, pay attention to checking all parts of clothes and body, especially armpits, groin, scalp, and behind the ear to ensure that there are no tapeworm attachments. Pay attention to checking equipment and pets. If you find that tapeworms should be cleared immediately.
