What to do if your child is bitten by fleas

When we were in our hometown, we often thought that there were fleas on the bed at home. Fleas are insects that can jump very high. They usually grow in many corners. Generally, the wounds caused by flea bites are many small red dots, which make people feel painful and itchy. Many children are easily found to be bitten by fleas when they are with their grandparents. So what should we do at this time!

For people with allergies, flea bites may cause some skin diseases, especially in summer. If there are pets such as cats and dogs at home, if the pets are not clean, they will breed fleas and other parasites, which can easily cause seasonal eczema after biting the human body. Flea plague bacteria is a very small bacillus that causes plague. The bacteria is transmitted to humans through fleas (rat fleas) that live on rats. After fleas sucked the blood of plague patients, their stomachs were filled with plague bacilli and their esophagus was blocked by bacteria. Although they are rat fleas, they sometimes bite humans.

When this infected flea sucks in blood, the blood cannot enter the stomach because the esophagus is blocked by bacteria and flows back into the body of the bitten person from the mouth. The plague bacteria then enter the human body and cause the person to suffer from plague. When fleas suck human blood, they may also excrete feces on human skin, which also contain large amounts of plague bacteria. Because the bitten area is itchy, scratching will bring plague bacteria into the tiny wound, which can also cause people to be infected with the plague. Preventive and therapeutic drugs

Among pyrethroid insecticides, chlorfenapyr (Kung Fu) and deltamethrin (Kaisolin) have extremely strong contact and stomach poison effects, and they act quickly and last long, and can quickly reduce the free flea index on the ground.

It is easy to use and can be directly diluted with water to fully exert its efficacy. It has good dispersion, is safe for animals, has no irritating odor, and has no corrosive or destructive effect on the surface of objects. Cypermethrin also has a certain ovicidal effect. Among organophosphorus insecticides, chlorpyrifos (Lorsban) is a drug with better control effect on sanitary pests. Use dilution of chlorpyrifos emulsifiable concentrate and spraying it has a higher contact killing effect on fleas. Although dichlorvos is highly toxic to humans and animals and is corrosive to the surfaces of copper and iron products, it can also be used appropriately for large-scale indoor flea control because of its rapid knockdown and strong fumigation effect, as well as its low price. When spraying pesticides, it is most important to choose the dosage form, concentration ratio and correct method of use according to the actual situation. In addition, operators should pay attention to safety, wear protective clothing, hats, masks and gloves.

There is also a saying that the smell of sweet and sour garlic can drive away fleas, but it cannot kill them. A simple method is to use a glass bottle and place it in a corner. Put an appropriate amount of sweet and sour garlic and juice to cover the garlic, and then seal it with gauze or something breathable. To eliminate fleas, fill the holes in the walls and the ground with lime or mud, clean them regularly, and keep them dry and clean. You can also spray insecticide to kill them.
