Shooting a mosquito that is sucking blood will kill people.
The cause of the incident was a report in the New England Journal of Medicine: A 57-year-old woman in Pennsylvania, USA, died of a muscle infection caused by a fungus of Microsporum. The researchers speculated that the woman shot the mosquito to death on the skin, and the smashed mosquito debris entered the skin, causing infection. Because the New England Journal of Medicine is the longest-running medical magazine in the world, this incident has attracted more attention from netizens.
It is almost shocking that killing a mosquito that is sucking blood will lead to death. Some experts have analyzed that mosquitoes will leave wounds on their skin when they suck blood. When it is sucking blood, if it is suddenly killed by a shot and the mosquito's mouthparts are too late to be pulled out, then the wound on human skin will not heal. The deadly fungi carried by mosquitoes may invade the body with the unhealed wound, causing bacterial infection and eventually leading to death. Of course, if people have wounds and are infected with fungi carried by mosquitoes that have been photographed, it will also be very dangerous.
The mosquito "bloody case" triggered a hot discussion among netizens.
Coyle of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in new york is one of the authors who wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine that killing mosquitoes can kill people. He seriously put forward a seemingly ridiculous suggestion: "If mosquitoes are biting people, it is best to bounce them off gently instead of slapping them to death."
Many netizens have had a heated discussion on the "bloody case" caused by mosquitoes. Many netizens shouted: "It's terrible. I won't dare to fight mosquitoes in the future." Some people said half humorously and half seriously, "That means you are either killed or itchy!" "You're kidding! I don't know how many bloodsucking mosquitoes have been killed since I was born. Isn't it a hundred times? Now I am dead! " A netizen thinks this kind of incident is incredible. More netizens questioned.
This kind of thing can't happen under normal circumstances.
Professor Li Pingfei, deputy director of the Pest Control Department of Changsha CDC, said that such incidents rarely occur and the probability of such incidents can only be said to be "very low". Although mosquitoes spread many diseases, whether people get sick depends on two factors: one is the virulence and quantity of viruses, and the other is the strength of human resistance. When the human body has strong resistance and the virus is weak, the virus is eliminated. On the contrary, people will get sick.
Li Pingfei said that the pathogens of most diseases transmitted by mosquitoes must first enter mosquitoes for proliferation and development, and then be released through saliva before they can infect people. This is an indispensable link in the natural circulation of pathogens. Mosquitoes are the most important vectors of insect-borne diseases. Therefore, the monitoring of mosquitoes in Changsha CDC is relatively comprehensive, including the methods of attracting mosquitoes by using their phototaxis, attracting mosquitoes to attract eggs and collecting water containers. Therefore, it is impossible to kill mosquitoes that are sucking blood in Changsha, and citizens need not panic.
There is a clever way to stay away from mosquito bites.
Experts gave us some suggestions on how to stay away from mosquito bites:
First, I also learned to shoot mosquitoes. Mosquitoes' flight path is S-shaped, and they usually fly zigzag from left to right. As long as you pat the mosquito hard, you won't miss.
Two, to prevent pots and pans, floor drains, sewers, flower pots and other water. At home, I often spray some pesticides. If there are aquatic plants at home, pay attention to changing water regularly.
Third, eat more vegetables. Some vegetables contain odors that mosquitoes don't like, such as vegetables containing carotene, garlic and other spicy vegetables. After people eat it, mosquitoes will stay away from you.
Fourth, wear more light-colored clothes. Aedes mosquitoes (also known as spotted mosquitoes) like to park on black clothes.
5. I can't catch it after being bitten by mosquitoes. After scratching, the tissue fluid and lymph in the skin ooze out and swell into blisters, which will become more and more itchy and will not fade easily. If you insist on not grasping, the itching will obviously subside after 10 to 15 minutes.
