This year's Chengdu people are either camping or on the way to camping ...

And every summer, it is also a season when there are various insects.

When a mosquito falls on the body, everyone's subconscious movement must be to shoot, but there is a kind of worm falling on the body, and it must not be taken, because a venom it secretes not only burn the skin, but also causes skin ulcers.

1. This kind of worm

What kind of bug is it?

Consolidating worm, also known as "Flying Ant". It looks like an ant has wings, yellow and black. Because its body fluid is acidic, the pH value is between 1 and 2, and it is also measured as 5-6, which is known as "flying sulfuric acid".

From June to September each year, large -scale appears. If it is contaminated by its venom, it will appear red, swollen and painful, and even purulent erosion.

After the rain in the summer and autumn, it is a period of active wings, and generally appears in humid grass.

According to Dr. Li Mengmeng at the Department of Dermatology of Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University: Every year, she encounters patients "burned" by hidden wings in the clinic.

Curiciditis refers to contact dermatitis caused by the skin in the internal venom of the skin in the skin.

The clinical manifestation is several hours to 2 days in contact with the exposure to the poisoning solution. Burning sensation.

The symptoms of shingles also have symptoms of pain, redness, and long blisters, so people often confuse them.

So how can the two be different?

Dr. Li Mengmeng said: Zospellings are caused by chickenpox-shingles virus infection. It is distributed according to the nerve section, that is, each nerve segment has its specific parts, and often has obvious lightning sample neuralgia.

In addition, the infectious blisters caused by the burns of the winged wingworm are generally thin, and it is easier to ulcerate. Secondary infections are also easy to form pustules. Blossom blisters with herpes zoster are often clusters of blisters. So this is also the difference between the two.

How should we prevent "burns" by hidden wings?

Consolidated wings are shining and fly to the lights at night. Therefore, the lights should be turned off in summer and autumn. It is best to install the gauze door and screen window to prevent insects from flying at night.

In addition, avoid near the woods when going out, and keep environmental hygiene to clear the weeds and garbage around the house in time. When unknown flyworms are attached to the skin, do not rub and beat. It dials and sticks it with a tape.

Finally, Dr. Li Mengmeng reminded:

This summer, there are higher temperatures in Chengdu, and there are more people going out. In addition to beware of drowning, you must also prevent this creature in the water -the bite of the grasshopper.

Elophard erythema is often caused by the biting part of the grasshopper, and it does not hurt when the first bite.

When the ants are adsorbed on the skin, they should not be pulled strong, otherwise the anthrae suction cup will break into the skin and cause bleeding.

You can use your palm or sole to continuously shoot the insect body. After severe hitting, the suction cups of the grasshopper will be released naturally.

If you have any discomfort, please seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
