His body has “grown” worms
“Recently, we have received quite a lot of insect bites.” Professor Sheng Jifang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhejiang University First Hospital, introduced that the department had received a patient with myiasis not long ago.
This 30-year-old man loves nature and loves adventure. This time he even went to the prairie adventure alone. He set up a tent to camp at night. Before the trip was over, he had red spots on his neck and back. At first, he thought it was mosquito bites , and he sprayed some mosquito repellent water and didn't take it seriously. It was not until after returning to Hangzhou that the erythema on his neck and back developed swelling and pain, and he also had a fever, so he rushed to Zhejiang University First Hospital for treatment.
After excluding the possibility of new crown , he was admitted to the ward of the Infectious Disease Department. After being diagnosed with myiasis by the medical team led by Director Sheng Jifang, he was diagnosed with myiasis.
"We took out a lot of maggots from the erythema on his body and judged that he was accidentally bitten by gadfly while camping, causing the worm eggs to parasitize in the body, thus suffering from myiasis." Director Sheng Jifang said that after a period of anti-infection and other treatments, the patient has recovered and discharged from the hospital.

Wild camping, do this, beware of insect bites
In recent years, camping and camping have gradually become popular, especially now is the time to go out for a cool autumn and go out for fun, but it is also the peak period of insect activities. Professor Sheng Jifang reminds that when you go out for a wild trip, you should be careful of insect bites. In Zhejiang Province, you should especially prevent tick bites. Since the summer and autumn, the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhejiang University First Hospital has received many patients infected with the new Bunia virus due to tick bites, and there is still a certain risk of infection. If you feel uncomfortable after being bitten by insects, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
The tick removed from the patient
was infected with the new Bunia virus in , and the patient often developed symptoms such as fever, bleeding, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, poor appetite, bloating and diarrhea. Ticks are common as a transmission medium in forests, shrubs, open pastures, grasslands, mountains and other environments.
Experts remind that when traveling outdoors, try to avoid sitting and lying on grass, woods and other places for a long time. It is best to wear long-sleeved clothes, tighten your pants, and not wear sandals when traveling. If you are bitten by a tick, do not forcefully pinch and pull out the tick, apply alcohol, etc. to the tick's head, so that it can loosen its mouth and fall off, or go to the hospital for treatment.
Therefore, it is recommended to bring disinfectant alcohol when traveling, which can not only be used for epidemic prevention and disinfection, but also for some emergency situations.
Beware of diarrhea among travelers. These habits should not be
In addition to insect bites, you should also pay attention to diet and drinking water safety caused by poor hygiene conditions when traveling in the wild, especially at the turn of summer and autumn. You should also prevent digestive tract diseases caused by rotavirus , norovirus , etc., and beware of "dirty travelers".
The so-called traveler diarrhea, in layman's terms, refers to intestinal disorders that occur during or after traveling, or symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, etc. "Most of the diarrhea are contagious, and the pathogens are bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, etc.." Sheng Jifang said that this disease is different from ordinary diarrhea. When it occurs, it will not only cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, fatigue, muscle pain, etc., but some young patients are also prone to dehydration. Most people cannot move normally within 24 hours after the attack and have to cancel or adjust the itinerary.
Experts remind that there is a lack of clean water sources and cooked food in the wild, so when traveling in the wild, you should avoid drinking some stream water and spring water directly, try to bring your own clean water, and do not drink raw water or undercooked food.
Take personal protection and say "bye" to flu
The scent of autumn is already strong, and a hint of coolness is coming. Whether you are staying at home or going out for a trip, respiratory diseases should be prevented, especially influenza.
Influenza is more common in autumn and winter, and people are generally susceptible to it. It is different from the common cold. It is an acute fever respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza viruses. It is transmitted through droplets such as sneezing and coughing. It can also be transmitted directly or indirectly through the mucosa such as the mouth, nasal cavity, eyes, etc., and can manifest as sudden high fever, cough (often dry cough), sore throat, runny nose or nasal congestion, headache, muscle and arthralgia , general discomfort, etc.
"The flu is highly contagious. If one person gets caught, the whole family may be infected." Sheng Jifang reminds everyone to prevent influenza from daily life, such as opening windows frequently and washing hands frequently, strengthening outdoor physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, improving the body's ability to resist diseases, quit smoking and drinking, drinking more boiled water, bring enough clothes when playing outside and add and reduce clothes in time according to weather changes.
