Aphids can cause Lyme disease mosquitoes or carry Zika virus. Both types of bites can't be ignored
Summer is approaching, and it's time to go out and bring back the extra 'trophy' - 'a pack'. It's time to stay with us not only with family, friends and pets, but also with various mosquitoes. Dealing with humans The longest and the most 'blatant' are mosquitoes and other flying insects, so that they will become the target of publicity as soon as they appear; also some insects are quite 'low-key' and are not easy to find, and are not easy to prepare for, such as lurking in the grass. Locust. The Daily Mail reminded everyone that summer itself is the season when mosquitoes are raging. Locusts may come and go this summer. Unfortunately, after dealing with wounds, how to deal with wounds in a timely manner is also Compulsory homework to go out to play.
Two types of mosquitoes that need protection
In recent years, the “photographing rate” of locusts has become very high. It has become a “nightmare” for dogs and dogs. It is not just the nausea after being bitten, the terrible wounds, and the possibility of contracting diseases. Much disease. This infectious disease with aphid as a medium may lead to persistent rash and painful life-long inflammation, mainly based on nerve damage, such as meningitis, cranial neuritis, myocarditis, arthritis and other diseases.
On the other hand, mosquitoes are familiar old faces to people. As temperatures rise, mosquitoes become active. For people who plan to 'hike' to warm and humid areas, mosquitoes exist. It is not just a matter of increasing the burden of tickling your hands. Some mosquitoes carry the Zika virus and infection with this virus may cause microcephaly in newborns.
The frustration is that even if we think that we are prepared for everything, we can't escape the episode of being bitten one or two. Since the 'enemy' is difficult to prevent, it is necessary to learn how to deal with it. The following is a summary of the experts The good way to effectively alleviate the bite is simply divided into four steps. With this 'instruction', whether mosquito or aphid, heaven or earth, we have a way to deal with it.
Get away bugs, clean and cool skin
When we are bitten by insects, the first thing we must do is to do everything we can to bombard it or remove it so that it will not be subject to constant stimulation. Once we have found a bite, we should first observe the surroundings. This process is especially suitable for dealing with bites of aphids. Because most bugs don't usually wait for us to 'fly to the knife' to fly away, but some bugs will be 'unforgettable', such as parasites such as maggots.
The ways that locusts bite people are very subtle. They will slam into our skin without knowing how we would carelessly. We will drill in. If we don't realize that, they will stay inside and suck blood engrossedly. When we When found to be bitten, the other person is usually 'only see the buttocks but not the first', it is imperative to put your hand close to the skin, gently, firmly grasp it, and let it slide out as smoothly as possible. The reason to keep it gently This difficult motion is firmly grounded because we want to ensure that the locusts come out intact, rather than leaving part of them in the skin.
The head of aphid carries bacteria, if it is unfortunately left in our body, this part may cause us further irritation and infection. If it happens to carry the pathogen, we may also be infected with Lyme disease. If the body is 'conscious' However, if it is indifferent, we should go to the doctor promptly to remove it in a sterile environment as much as possible.
Special Note
Experts remind us that no matter what insects bite, when it leaves, the first thing we need to do is to “cleanse the bitten area thoroughly.” This step does not require any big detergent, use a mild cleansing soap can.
Ice and anti-inflammatory drugs
When leukocytes are washed against any infection that may come from a mosquito bite, the tiny wounds may also be swollen or even exudate, further irritating the wound. We can use ice packs in the bite area every 10 minutes to help ease, Control inflammation.
If we have symptoms of inflammation soon after being bitten, and if the condition is severe, such as bee sting or spider bite, anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen should be taken immediately. This drug helps to reduce the number of Inflammation. We can also apply non-prescription drug 'Hydrocortisone' directly to the bite to reduce inflammation.
Special Note
Dermatologists suggest that in order to relieve the burning sensation and redness of the itch after being bitten, the simplest method is often the best.
Relief inflammation with spices
Lemons, vinegar, oranges, basil, salt, onion battles... It's a good place to talk about the kitchen. There's already a “pharmacy” posture. And these spices aren’t all that. They have their own unique qualities for healing.
Salt can take away water and help reduce swelling. So to see, 'sprinkle salt on the wound' is actually the prescription of the agent. Apply salt to a paste and apply it to the skin, it can make the swelling disappear, and then the nerve in this area Can relax a little, no longer in a high alert state, the discomfort of the skin near the bite will be weakened.
The basil leaves, like aloe vera, contain chemicals that produce a cooling sensation on the skin, one of which is anthrone, similar to menthol. Both of these compounds are incorporated into the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved antibiotics. In the stimulating formula, we don't need any complicated formula. Just use a mortar and pestle to grind a few basil leaves, and simply sprinkle the crushed leaves on the bite, and then just wait for the appearance of 'miracle'. That's it.
In addition to salt and basil, we can also use some chopped onions to ease swelling and itchiness caused by bites. Many studies have documented the anti-inflammatory effects of onions. Some scholars even believe that onions can help relieve arthritis. Onions contain a name It is a flavonoid of quercetin that can fight against many inflammatory factors including histamine.
Histamine is associated with swelling and inflammation in arthritis and allergic reactions, just as the body reacts after being bitten by a mosquito. Even the most diligently cleaned, pressed, and soaked with herbs and vinegar, it is difficult for us to get rid of mosquitoes completely. Itching and scratching. Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must 'appease' as much as possible to treat our skin.
Special Note
According to experts, chronic itch sometimes destroys the skin barrier and causes inflammation. Vaseline-based moisturizing creams can be used. They can establish a healthy barrier and leave a protective mark on the skin, which is beneficial to skin restoration.
Using kitchen ingredients to balance pH
One of the key factors to protect the skin is to maintain the pH balance. According to hormone levels and the environment, our skin will become acidic or alkaline. When the pH reaches equilibrium, the skin can resist infection and environmental stress factors , such as chaos into the insects.
However, when we are bitten and can't help scratching, the damaged skin can make the pH value abnormal. Fortunately, even if we don't have a family medicine kit, if we have a 'fully equipped' kitchen, we can find Treatment of wounds, so that the pH value of the tool.
Vinegar is one of the most common seasonings. At the same time it is a natural preservative and antifungal agent. To our surprise, acidic substances actually help to restore the pH balance of pruritus skin. Compared to other species The vinegar, apple cider vinegar contains more enzymes, helps the skin heal and accelerates the recovery process of the skin's pH. The most thorough use of vinegar is to add two and a half cups of vinegar in a tub filled with hot water. 4. Soak yourself in a bathtub as you soak in a bath.
Baking soda is also a common 'pharmaceutical' in the kitchen. Adding baking soda to the water can calm the mosquito bites. We can use a mixture of water and baking soda to spread the paste and apply it to stubborn, non-healing wounds. , Let stand for 10 minutes, then rinse with water.
In addition to the above-mentioned 'condiments', some fruits can also help our skin to restore its pH, such as lemons. In addition to its acidic characteristics, the lemon can also affect the pH value, there is also a benefit - to help kill those because of us Scratching and other movements may shift to bacteria in the itching area.
In addition to lemons, citrus is a kind of fruit that can be used as a 'handle'. It has a gentle numbness effect that can help us temporarily relieve the irritation of bitten parts. Of course we can also use lime.
Special Note
It is important to note that we use lemons, limes, and citruses. These sounds of fruit with inverted teeth are to relieve irritation and should be used 'as appropriate'. If we have already scratched the skin, use it again. These high-acid juices are undoubtedly worse, and they feel particularly sour when you think about it...
