For post-80s and post-90s, there are such childhood memories: every year, , , in order to avoid the summer heat and cool off, they will come to the lakeside, streams, and parks with their family and friends to spend the hot summer. But I don’t know when people dared to go outdoors to escape the summer heat and shade again, because the famous flower mosquitoes occupied these places, and no one dared to go to the shade wherever they were. So, where is the flower mosquito? Why are people so afraid of it?
Which is the king of mosquitoes?
This flower mosquito is also called "tiger mosquito" and " Aedes mosquito ". Because there are some black and white patterns on the body and its legs, it is named "flower mosquito". This kind of mosquito is native to Southeast Asia and likes to survive in humid environments. It has a history of more than 50 years in our country. It is not only larger in size, but also very aggressive than the flower mosquitoes we see in our daily life. The flight speed is also very fast, especially when you encounter a turn, the turning speed is much faster than in the blink of an eye.
Because they have thick mouthparts, they will penetrate people's skin very easily. If the red envelope bites by ordinary mosquitoes is just itchy and will heal itself in one or two days, then the red envelope bites by spending is not only itchy, but also painful, and it is prone to infection. It takes four or five days to heal. In severe cases, it will endanger life.
Why is it intolerant of the bite of flower mosquitoes? In fact, the reason is very simple, because flower mosquitoes are foreign species, and our Chinese immune system is intolerant to its invasion and is not suitable for the substances they secrete. Moreover, as a member of the mosquito family, flower mosquito has also inherited the gene of greed. As long as it does not disturb it, it will continue to suck human blood. Moreover, flower mosquitoes are not easy to be beaten to death. Their biting mode is to "play guerrilla warfare" with you, repeatedly bite them, and shoot one shot and change the place. The digestive ability is also stronger than other ordinary mosquitoes.
In addition, there is another difference between flower mosquitoes and ordinary mosquitoes, that is, in the hot summer, ordinary mosquitoes will not come out to move during the day because they are afraid of light. But flower mosquitoes are different. flower mosquitoes not only like to go out at night, but also can be seen everywhere during the day. , especially some humid places, such as the common lakeside, shade, pavilions, etc., are places that mosquitoes like to go. It is precisely because of this that people dare not go out to cool off in the hot summer.
In response to this, many netizens left messages saying: "This kind of flower mosquito is very big and has strong toxicity. Generally, electric mosquito coils do not work for them at all." "There are many flower mosquitoes now, and they even lose black powder when they hit it, which makes people itchy." "I have swollen bags when I get bitten with a pattern on my belly, which is extremely itchy." "There are more and more mosquitoes like this, and I don't say hello if I bite people, and I don't have martial ethics."
Flower mosquitoes have high tolerance, and the infectious diseases are very harmful
Because flower mosquitoes come from Southeast Asia, they are mainly concentrated in Yunnan and Guangdong when they first came to my country. These 8 mosquitoes have very strong adaptability to the environment and have high tolerance. They can reproduce even in sewage. The reproduction speed of mosquitoes in this population is very strong, and the probability of gene mutation is also very high.
They will spread many diseases, such as dengue fever , yellow fever , secka virus and other dozens of diseases. Especially for dengue fever, once a flower mosquito sucks blood from the body of a dengue patient and bites it, it will cause infection to other people. As of now, the death toll caused by the flower mosquitoes has reached thousands.
Speaking of this, some people can't help but question: "Can flower mosquitoes spread the new coronavirus?" Academician Zhong Nanshan responded to such a question very early, and there is no relevant evidence to show that mosquitoes have the ability to spread the new coronavirus. Therefore, based on this view, we believe that flower mosquitoes will not spread the new coronavirus and do not meet the relevant transmission conditions.
How do I invade my country's
Since flower mosquitoes are an invasive alien species, how did they invade my country? Experts have not given a clear explanation for this issue at present, but we have made the following related guesses for your reference only:
1.
. As , the global climate warms , extreme weather has occurred in many places. Because flower mosquitoes like hot flashes, their habitat has gradually become larger. my country is very close to the tropical rainforest areas in Southeast Asia, and with the abundant water sources in our country, this paradise-like living environment is very attractive to flower mosquitoes. In the case of the fittest, flower mosquitoes migrate to China in large quantities. Because of their strong adaptability, they survived by reproduction and survival here.
2. As migratory birds and other animals migrate,
In the wilderness, without humans, flower mosquitoes will rely on some mammals to survive. They suck mammal blood, especially migratory birds become their best blood-sucking objects. At the time of seasonal alternation, migratory birds and other mammals have the habit of migration, which means that as long as they are attached to these animals, flower mosquitoes will migrate to China.
3. Take transportation to China
my country trades with Southeast Asia very frequently, especially when major ports are transported in and out. Whether it is a ship, an airplane or a train, as long as mosquitoes follow the cargo and board these means of transportation, it is very likely to invade China.
Mr. Wang, who has been engaged in trade for a long time, introduced: "I have imported some rubber products from Southeast Asia, and there are corpses of flower mosquitoes. At first, I didn't care. It was my colleague who introduced that this kind of mosquito is flower mosquitoes. I guess they died because of lack of oxygen. This kind of mosquitoes has strong biting ability and cannot be underestimated."
In daily life, we must effectively prevent flower mosquitoes, especially when we install more screens at home. It is best to put mint, a smelly plant, to avoid getting close to wet places such as lakes and ponds when going to the wild. Once you are bitten by a mosquito, do not scratch it too much. You can apply disinfectant and anti-itchi medicines. I believe that it won’t take long to get the flower mosquitoes caught in one go, and we will return to the summer outdoors to enjoy the cool air.
