Prevention Of Insect – Borne Disease

Pests

All kinds of insects and contaminated prey on humans. Mostly by those directly targeting body lice and scabies. Less common are insects and spiders. In the forest and in tropical areas and are angry bugs mosquitoes, ticks and biting flies humanity.

Chiggers

These insects are known scientifically as Trombicula irritans. Hook into the skin. The skin becomes irritated, and begins an unbearable itch. Red spots appear and bubbles form. Chiggers do not pierce the skin, they inject a substance that is soft and dissolves the tissues, causing it to itch.

Bedbug infestation is flour sulfur or sulfur powder in the socks or underwear when you are prevented in the tall grass or brush. The protection may have with the use of leggings and closing the bottom of the pants.

If you wash chiggers have been severely bitten, the skin thoroughly with soap and water and let the foam on the skin to be ten minutes before removing. Then, the fight against scabies preparations can be used to keep the itching under control until they are cured.

Insect repellents such as DDT, pyrethrum with Freon and similar compounds can be used to remove bugs from infected areas, as well as mosquitoes, moths and other insects.

Face

Head lice is an annoying residents in the human body. Lice are a common complaint, with children in schools, health departments usually provide special instructions for control. Several specific compounds have been developed for the removal of head lice, body lice and pubic lice.

A lice, kill ordinary oil or kerosene with sweet or half olive oil mixed and the other half to be well rubbed into the scalp. Then the hair with a cloth for a minimum of two hours or better overnight. Kerosene is toxic and flammable. Never let your hair get near open flames, like a gas burner or a lit match. When the muslin to wash your hair and scalp with hot soapy water and rinse well with clean water. Repeat this process for live insects, are always in my hair. Nits can be removed completely with hot vinegar and then wetting his hair combed with a fine tooth comb. Dry the hair completely after this treatment before leaving. For body lice, the body can all clothing, bedding and all the powder with a suitable powdered DDT.

Pubic lice are commonly called “crabs.” Ointments expertise, including the old “blue ointment” and “Gammexane” ointment is used, rub thoroughly into affected areas. When given as lice on the eyelashes, which must be removed, with his portraits, a pair of pliers. Itching of the bites of lice and other insects can be controlled by the creams or lotions containing small amounts of phenol or menthol and camphor, phenol, and 1 percent or menthol in calamine lotion or phenol camphor in mineral oil.

Spider Bites

The only poisonous spider in the Western Hemisphere is the black widow. If a man is the first step of a spider bite to stop recording the poison into the circulation. The wound with tincture of iodine can be disinfected or other good antiseptic. When a large amount of poison taken into the body, the bite area can be placed under suction.

After the bite of the black widow, feels a sharp pain. Then comes the swelling and redness at the bite site, and the whole body responds with dizziness, weakness, trembling of legs and abdominal cramps. Young children have difficulty breathing and dizziness or even seizures. The serum or antitoxin was developed, but in most cases to directly obtain health department or by the manufacturer.

Bedbugs and fleas

An insect bite usually appears as a blister with a red rose in the center. It itches, and sometimes a burning sensation. Errors do not live in the human body, but they infect, beds, bedding, upholstered furniture, walls, wood and drapes. They usually come at night, attracted by the smell of human body. When crushed, the error has a foul odor.

From insect bites itch, the bite area masked by the results of scratching and secondary infection. People bitten by bear in pajamas, if they are affected are usually in the areas around ankles, wrists and neck. The only treatment usually necessary for a bedbug bite is to apply calamine lotion with menthol and camphor or phenol to relieve itching. Each of the flea bites usually used for itching lotions to be applied.

The fleas that infect rodents can transmit diseases like the plague. Fleas are everywhere. You can go to humans by dogs, rats and pigs. When people are bitten by fleas, the source of contamination must be found and eliminated. Flea powders are readily available at any pharmacy.

Scabies

Scabies, scabies and seven-year itch, itching of Cuba, prison, and similar names, is caused by the scabies mite. It extends the midst of poverty, overpopulation and lack of cleanliness. Scabies is usually transmitted through body contact.

The scabies mite does not have the same habits as body lice. The body louse lives in clothing and RSS feeds on the body, but the scabies mite lives in the body under the skin. Each of clothing or bedding infested by the scabies mite is random. The tunnels under the skin itch mites. When the skin is cleaned of crusts and secondary schools free of infection of small spots of invasion can be seen. The female mite burrows into the skin through the hair follicle and goes through a tunnel that generates. In the inner end of the tunnel, she lays her eggs. Hatch, after three to five days, the eggs and larvae bore along the new tunnels, or come from the former.

The most common areas of infection are between fingers, on the back of the hands, elbows, arms, groin, under breasts, around the navel, genitals, shoulders and back.

After the body was washed thoroughly with hot water, the emulsion is applied with a brush or with a gun and insecticide used his body covered from the neck down. The emulsion is dried and then painted on, after ten or fifteen minutes, a second application. The patient is prepared and bath linen is provided twenty-four hours. Then it is to start a different image with the emulsion of benzyl benzoate. After twenty four hours of a second you need to bathe and put all the laundry. If you are carefully carried out these instructions, 95 percent of patients are cured. The errors are no other form of treatment. The ointment called Gammexane, the exachlorocyclohexane is also used effectively against scabies. New therapies tend to replace the early use of the ointment of sulfur, pyrethrum, rotenone ointment and ointment.

Mosquito bites

The mosquito is a test of Kipling’s famous phrase that “the female is deadlier than the male.” The male mosquito does not bite. The female mosquito out for blood. The mosquito does not hurt, but cutting through the skin.

Researchers have found that mosquitoes prefer to bite some people more than others. Also found that some people react strongly to mosquito bites, while others do not react at all. The attractiveness of a person for mosquitoes is occasionally. Biting mosquitoes prefer crowded places, rather than those with only a few people or places that are empty. Mosquitoes are the thresholds of many washes are considered by some people who are sleeping and, well washed and dressed. Clean thoroughly with soap and water reduces the attractiveness of individual mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are attracted to hot objects, with lights at night and dark places during the day. The dark clothes are more attractive than light clothing for mosquitoes and rough clothes are more attractive than plain clothes. Mosquitoes prefer the moist climate of dry weather, but prefers the cold season of rain, dry weather. Mosquitoes prefer adults, children and men to women.

Mosquitoes carry malaria, yellow fever, West Nile virus and a number of other diseases. The mosquito can be eliminated over stagnant pools in the area free of surface water spray with oil, with the widespread use of DDT and other health established engineering techniques. The itchy mosquito bites can be controlled through the use of one percent of menthol or phenol in the form of calamine lotion or by the application of ointments, such as antihistamines neohetramine, neoantergan, thephorin, pyrabenzarnine, Benadryl, diatrin and others.
