Remember? My friends who lived in rural areas when they were young were afraid of the cold in winter, and they didn’t like taking a bath, and they didn’t like washing their hair. Especially female classmates with long hair always had lice in their hair. These lice will bite the scalp tightly, and over time, the scalp will itch and eventually ulcers will ulcerate, because this thing will eventually have to shave its long hair. This kind of picture is still fresh in memory!
I saw a similar problem on the Internet some time ago, but the part where the friend who was sick this time was bitten by lice was not the scalp, but the unspeakable private part. After going to the hospital for examination, I realized that it was " pubic lice ". The patient said that he had a history of travel and was obviously very careful, but somehow he was infected with pubic lice in the end.
What exactly is pubic lice? Is there any difference between this kind of thing and the lice that grows in the hair?
In fact, pubic lice is also a type of lice, which is a kind of small insect that is parasitic at the roots of human and animal hair. This small insect lives by sucking the blood of the host.
There are subtle differences in the name because of the different parasitic parts of lice. For example, we grow on the navel or armpits of the body, we are called body lice, we are called head lice, and we are called "pubic lice".
The lice in each parasitic site is called differently, and their size also has subtle differences. Among them, body lice and pubic lice are the most similar, while the head is even smaller. Not only are these insects special in their parasitic areas, but they also have very strong reproductive ability. One-adult female lice can lay ten eggs a day, which firmly adhere to human hair or clothes. The little lice hatched in about eight days and immediately bite people and suck blood.
No matter where the lice grows, it will cause discomfort to the host after being infected. In mild cases, the skin is itchy, and in severe cases, it may also cause local skin inflammation and ulceration, and even the spread of certain diseases.
Speaking of this annoying thing, I found that after careful discussion, many people said that they had been infected. So how did these things get them?
In fact, there are two main ways to spread this kind of thing:
The first way of spread is sexual transmission
Now people are becoming more and more open to the concept of sex, but excessive openness will also bring many inestimable problems. In addition to a variety of infectious diseases, pubic lice have also become an indispensable member. If one of the sexual partner suffers from pubic lice , the probability of infection to the other party can be almost as high as 90%. If you wear a condom in time, you will not avoid the risk of infection. So you must control yourself at any time, don’t mess around, and don’t be lucky. Once infected, it will bring you endless troubles.
The second transmission path is indirect transmission
What does indirect transmission mean? Usually, people have stayed in hotels or hotels when they go out, and if you accidentally stay in hotels with poor sanitation conditions, you may increase your risk of illness. The eggs laid by lice worms are completely likely to fall on the bed in a hotel or used towels. If the room you live in is not cleaned, then if you move in again, the lice from the previous patient will be transmitted to you indirectly. Therefore, when you go out, you must pay attention to your own protection. You must choose a hygienic hotel. It is best to check it carefully before staying. It is best to bring some towels for your own use.
What should I do if I get pubic lice disease?
First, be sure to remove body hair from parasitic areas in time to prevent lice from further reproduction.
Secondly, after removing the hair in the parasitic area, you can evenly apply 50% tincture or 25% benzoate emulsion to the affected area, usually once in the morning and once in the evening, or you can use Kangfuli Ning, which will have obvious effects after one week.
Finally, remind everyone some things to pay attention to during the treatment of pubic lice:
1. During the treatment of pubic lice, the underwear must be boiled in boiling water for a few minutes every day, and then exposed to the sun.
2. Personal bedding pillow towels, quilt covers, bed sheets, etc. should also be regularly washed with boiling water at high temperature or ironed with iron.
3. One couple must treat pubic lice disease at the same time. Although pubic lice disease is not an infectious disease, sex life is still one of the main transmission methods, so couples must pay attention to avoid cross-infection between the couple.
