Nowadays, many children born in the city actually grew up in the countryside when their parents were young, so they will take their children back to their rural hometowns during the holidays.
One is to look at the parents, let the children know that they still have grandparents, and let the children know by word and deed that they must be filial to the elderly.
The second is that children grow up in the city since childhood, and all they see are high-rise buildings, and when they return to the countryside, they can see all kinds of green plants in the countryside, and they can also see how rice grows, and they can also see how chickens, ducks and geese are like before they enter their mouths, and you can even see how sows give birth to cubs and hens to lay eggs.
This is actually very useful for expanding children's horizons, and when they go to the countryside, they can also eat natural vegetables and fruits.
It is indeed a good thing to take children to the countryside to experience life and eat some raw food, but there are also some potential dangers in the countryside.
A couple took their one-year-old child to the countryside to play in the water, the clothes were wet, the child had a very happy time, but when the child was undressed and ready to take a bath, he found that there was a black dot on the back of the child's left shoulder, and at first thought that something was sticking to it, but it turned out to be a tick when he looked closely.
Because my mother has read on the Internet that ticks can't be pulled out randomly, because the head of the tick will have mouthparts, which are relatively special and have barbs, if you directly pull it out rudely, it is likely to leave the head inside, and the child even has to undergo surgery to dig up this piece of meat in order to take out the head of the tick inside.
The parents had to take the child to the clinic in a hurry, but when they went to the clinic, the doctor did not dare to pull it out for fear that it would not be clean. The parents took the child to the hospital again, and the doctors in the hospital never dealt with it, and the child's father thought about it in the hospital, so he saved the child with one action.
Dad asked the doctor to get a syringe, removed the piston needle and protective cap of the syringe, and only the syringe barrel was filled with 75% alcohol, and then fastened the needle to the tick. That is, the alcohol in the entire needle tube soaked the tick, and the tick was too irritated by the alcohol, so it had to stick its head out, and when its head was stretched out, the whole worm fell off.
It can be said that this father saved the child with one action, which is more powerful than the doctor!
The doctor disinfected the child, and later told the mother to see if the child had a fever and a rash after returning home, and then suggested a blood test in the hospital to see if there was a virus in it, and the parents were also very concerned about taking the child to the hospital for blood tests several times, but fortunately it was fine.
Some parents may think that this couple is making a bit of a fuss, isn't this just a little bug? It's really a small bug, but it's a very powerful little bug, because this bug has mouthparts, and if we pull it out, the head of the tick will break inside, which will be very troublesome.
If you go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will have to anesthetize and cut the child's flesh to remove the head and mouthparts inside.
And this tick is not only very powerful mouthparts, it may also carry various viruses, a netizen in Guangdong, said that his father was bitten by this insect and lost his life.
Some netizens said that their husband was also bitten by a tick, and he had a high fever for a week and caused other viral infections, and he is still in the hospital, it is the 4th day, and he can't find out that he has a fever every day.
Therefore, as a parent, when taking your children out, try to wear long clothes and pants. You can also spray your child with some mosquito repellent water, which will repel some insects.
After finding that the child has been bitten by a tick, don't pull it hard, you can use a lot of alcohol to drip on the tick like this father, or you can use wind oil essence, cooling oil is also OK, if you have erythromycin eye ointment at home, you can also use erythromycin eye ointment.
Of course, if you are an adult, you can use a cigarette butt to burn it slightly, and you can also let the tick stick out its head by itself, so be sure to let the tick fall off by itself to avoid the head still being inside. After the tick comes out, disinfect the wound, which can be done with iodophor or others.
The last step is also very important, be sure to observe, if you find that the child has a fever or other symptoms, seek medical attention in time, and tell the doctor that the child has been bitten by a tick when you go to the doctor, so as to help the doctor determine the child's condition as soon as possible.
