As summer comes, a new round of "concerts" begins to play, "Buzz, buzz--" The melody of summer lingers in my ears.
What are the dangers after mosquito bites?
The lethality of mosquitoes is divided into two types:
The first type is to absorb blood, which is less harmful.
Many people will have allergies in their local skin after being bitten by mosquitoes, such as redness, swelling, pain, and unbearable itching. After scratching with their hands, the skin will also experience severe conditions such as ulceration and infection.
The second type is to spread fatal diseases and has great lethality.
Mosquitoes top the list of 15 most deadly animals to humans, and their number of harms to humans each year exceeds the sum of all other animals on the rankings.
There are three generas that are closely related to human health, namely Culex (family mosquito), Anopheles (malaria mosquito) and Aedes (Aedes mosquito) each in my country.
When mosquitoes suck human blood, different categories of mosquitoes will cause different diseases and clinical characteristics.
Usually Anopheles mainly transmit malaria, and its clinical characteristics will be manifested as fever, sweating and intermittent chills; Culex mosquitoes spread by bites humans are unclear consciousness and high fever; Aedes mosquitoes can spread a variety of diseases by smoking human blood, such as dengue fever, yellow fever and chikungunya disease. The main transmission vector is Aedes mosquitoes.
The bigger the mosquito bag, the more toxic it is?
After being bitten by a mosquito, the size of the mosquito bag on the body is closely related to the strength of the individual's immune system mechanism and has nothing to do with the toxicity of the mosquito.
For people with strong immune systems, they can be unscathed after being bitten, but most people will have physical reactions, mildly showing raised mosquito bags and obvious itching, and the skin lesions are manifested as erythema, papules, wind balls and other symptoms.
For people with weak immune systems, especially those with sensitive constitutions, after being sucked in blood, a large amount of histamine and cytokines will be released, and blisters, plaques, ecchymosis, swelling and pain will appear. Due to the intense reaction of symptoms, it will take a long time to completely relieve it.
In addition, scratching with hands will increase the release of histamine in the organic nitrogen-containing compound, resulting in tissue damage or inflammation, resulting in local tissue edema.
When you feel itchy, you can apply mint cream and floral water in time to relieve it, instead of choosing to scratch.
