Momwe mungapewere kulumidwa ndi nkhupakupa - ndipo, ngati kuli kofunika, thandizani

Ubwino

Chilimwe chatigwera, ndipo kusintha kwa nyengo kumakhala kosangalatsa padzuwa, masiku aulesi, ndipo mwatsoka, kulumidwa ndi nkhupakupa. Ngati mwawona kuchuluka kwa nkhupakupa m'dera lanu, simuli nokha-kuchuluka kwa nkhupakupa, ndi matenda omwe amafalitsa, ali ikukwera .

Izi mwina ndizokwanira kukupangitsani kufuna kukulunga ana anu kukulunga ndikukhala m'nyumba mpaka nthawi yozizira. Koma musataye mtima — kuteteza nkhupakupa kotheka nkotheka, ndipo ngati matenda angachitike, mankhwala alipo. Malingaliro akuti, akachiritsidwa msanga, ndiabwino, atero Dr. Sylvia Owusu-Ansah, dokotala wazachipatala ku Pennsylvania, dera lomwe limakhalapo Matenda a Lyme ku United States. Matenda ofala ndi nkhupakupa angathe kupita ku matenda omwe amakhudza mtima ndi dongosolo lamanjenje, zomwe zingayambitse matenda osokoneza bongo komanso kufa, koma [izi] sizichitika kawirikawiri.

Njira zothanirana ndi matenda opatsirana ndi nkhupakupa monga matenda a Lyme, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, ndi matenda ena osiyanasiyana opatsirana ndi nkhupakupa ndi awa: kupewa nkhupakupa, kupeza matenda msanga, komanso kuthandizidwa mwachangu.

Asanaluma: Momwe mungapewere nkhupakupa

Njira yabwino yopezera thanzi ndikukhala osaluma konse. Nkhupakupa zakuda (imodzi mwazomwe zimalepheretsa kufalitsa matenda) ngati malo amitengo / maburashi ndipo amakhala pazomera, kudikirira munthu kapena nyama kuti ikomane nawo, atero Dr. Curtis Russell, katswiri wamaphunziro ku Zaumoyo Pagulu Ontario , bungwe lotsogola lomwe likugwira ntchito m'dera la matenda obwera ndi vekitala ku Ontario.

Koma sikuti mukamapita kukakwera ndege zokha ndiye kuti muyenera kuda nkhawa. Maderawa atha kukhala ndi minda yamatauni ndi mapaki, malinga ndi Dr. Aileen M. Marty, pulofesa wokhudzana ndi matenda opatsirana ku Florida Yunivesite Yapadziko Lonse . M'madera ena, nkhupakupa zimapezeka ngakhale m'mabwalo ndi malo ena omwe amapezeka kawirikawiri.

Anthu ambiri amatenga kachirombo m'miyezi yotentha chifukwa ndipamene nkhupakupa za miyendo yakuda zisanakhwime kapena gawo la nymph zimachuluka, akutero Dr. Nkhupakupa ndi zazing'ono kwambiri, pafupifupi kukula kwa mbewu ya poppy, ndipo ndizovuta kuzizindikira. Ichi ndichifukwa chake ndikofunikira kusamala mukamapita panja.

Pofuna kuteteza mankhwala osagwiritsa ntchito mankhwala, Dr. Russell amalimbikitsa kuvala malaya owala, ataliatali ndi mathalauza omata m'masokosi kuti nkhupakupa ziziwonekera kwambiri ndikuyenera kukwawa patali musanafike pakhungu lanu. Amanenanso kuti muzisamba mukangobwerera kwanu ndikutsuka zovala zanu.

Ngati nkhuku yayikidwa, zimatenga pafupifupi maola 24 kuti nkhuku yakuda (ngati ili ndi mabakiteriya omwe amayambitsa matenda a Lyme) ikupatseni, akutero. Kusamba mukangobwera kuchokera panja kumawonjezera mwayi wosamba nkhupakupa isanakhale ndi mwayi wokudziphatika kwa inu komanso mwina kupatsira mabakiteriya. Kuyendetsa zovala zanu kudzera pouma kwa mphindi 60 kumathandizanso kupha nkhupakupa pa zovala zanu.

Ngakhale mankhwala ambiri ogwiritsira ntchito mankhwala opatsirana kunyumba amafala kwambiri pa intaneti, nthawi zambiri amakhala osagwirizana ndi nkhupakupa. Dr. Owusu-Ansah amalimbikitsa kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala othamangitsira omwe ali ndi 20% kapena kuposa DEET, picaridin / icaridin, kapena IR3535 pakhungu lowonekera. Amanenanso zakuchiritsa zovala ndi zida monga nsapato, mathalauza, masokosi, ndi mahema okhala ndi permethrin (0.5%).

Dr. Marty akugogomezera kufunikira koteteza ziweto ku nkhupakupa, paumoyo wawo komanso kuti zisatenge nkhupakupa kukumana ndi anthu awo. Wachipatala wanu akhoza kukupatsani zomwe mungachite.

Ngakhale kusamba, kuyang'anitsitsa nkhupakupa tsiku ndi tsiku ndikofunikanso, payekha kapena makamaka mothandizidwa, makamaka pansi pa mikono, mkati ndi kuzungulira makutu, mkati mwa batani, kumbuyo kwa mawondo, pakati pa miyendo, m'chiuno, ndi pa tsitsi ndi khungu, atero Dr. Owusu-Ansah.

Pambuyo poluma: Momwe mungachotsere nkhupakupa

Ngati inu kapena mwana wanu mutenga nkhupakupa, kuchotsa nthawi yomweyo ndikofunikira. Kuti muchotse nkhupakupa, Dr. Owusu-Ansah ndi Malo Otetezera Matenda lembani:

1. Gwiritsani ntchito zopalira zokhathamira kuti agwire nkhukuyo pafupi ndi pakhungu momwe zingathere. (Palinso zida zapadera zochotsera zida.)

Pewani kugwiritsa ntchito msomali, mafuta odzola kapena kutentha kuti muchepetse nkhupakupa pakhungu.

2. Kwezani m'mwamba mokweza, ngakhale mutapanikizika.

Osapotoza kapena kugwedeza nkhupakupa; izi zimatha kupangitsa kuti pakamwa pang'ambe ndikhale pakhungu. Izi zikachitika chotsani ziwalo zam'kamwa ndi zopalira zoyera. Ngati mukulephera kusuntha pakamwa mosavuta, asiyeni ndipo lolani khungu kuti lizichira.

3. Sambani bwinobwino malo olumirako ndi manja anu ndi kupaka mowa, mankhwala a ayodini, kapena sopo ndi madzi mutachotsa nkhupakupa.

Ngati kuli kotheka, yesetsani kusunga nkhupakupa kuti muzindikire kapena kuyesedwa pakabuka zizindikiro.

Ngati matenda ayamba

Sikuti kulumidwa kwa nkhupakupa kumafunikira chithandizo chamankhwala kapena kumayambitsa matenda, koma pali zizindikilo zofunika kuzisamala pambuyo poti nkhuku yaluma.

Zizindikiro zodziwika bwino za matenda ambiri omwe amabwera chifukwa cha nkhupakupa ndizofanana ndi chimfine, akutero Dr. Owusu-Ansah. Izi zingaphatikizepo kutentha thupi, kupweteka mutu, kuzizira, kupweteka kwa minofu, ndi kutopa.

Ndi matenda ena monga Lyme kapena Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), ziphuphu zitha kuwoneka kapena sizimawoneka. Kwa Lyme ndi Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI), kuthamanga uku kumayamba kuwoneka kwa diso la ng'ombe , ndipo itha kukhala chimodzi mwazizindikiro zoyambirira kuwonekera (masiku atatu kapena 30 mutadwala Lyme).

Kuthamanga komwe kumabwera ndi RMSF kumatha kusiyanasiyana. Kutupa kumayambira masiku awiri kapena asanu kuyambira malungo atayamba, malinga ndi CDC. Kutupa kofiira ndi kofiirira komwe kumalumikizidwa ndi RMSF sikuwoneka kawirikawiri mpaka tsiku lachisanu ndi chimodzi kapena mtsogolo, komanso mwa 35-60% ya odwala.

Njira yachizolowezi yothandizira matenda opatsirana ndi nkhupakupa ndi maantibayotiki. Ndi maantibayotiki ati komanso zimadalira wodwalayo, matenda, kuuma kwake, komanso zizindikilo zake. Pazotupa pakhungu, timayamba odwala azaka 12 [kapena kupitilira apo] kupitirira kutuloji koma adzagwiritsa ntchito amoxicillin monga njira ina, ndipo azithromycin ngati njira yachitatu, Dr. Marty akutero. Kwa ana, timayamba ndi amoxicillin.

Ngati muli ndi zizindikiro ndipo mukuganiza kuti kuluma kwanu nkhuku kungayambitse matenda, onani dokotala wanu kuti akuthandizeni.
