KMI, the risk of uninvited mosquitoes in summer

The KMI Korea Medical Research Scientific Committee (chairman, Shin Sang Yup, a specialist in infectious medicine) shared expert opinions on the risks and countermeasures of unaccompanied mosquitoes in the summer of the 20th. 19659002] According to KMI Shin Sang Yop,

▲ mosquito-borne mosquitoes are caused by poor management of mosquito-borne wounds, and mosquito-borne mosquitoes are caused by mosquito-borne diseases, (Cellulite ), sleep deprivation, etc.

Mosquito is now the most dangerous animal on the planet is known to humans. In fact, at least 72,000 people die each year from mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever and encephalitis, and more than 50% of the world's population is exposed to the danger of malaria. a deadly disease transmitted by mosquitoes.

It is also important to pay attention to the danger of a disease transmitted by mosquitoes caused by mismanaged mosquito worms.

Mosquito saliva contains "anesthetics" to protect itself and "anticoagulant" to prevent blood from getting stuck in vomiting.

When saliva from these mosquitoes enters the body, an immune response develops in our body, causing swelling, redness and tickling in the mosquito bite.

If you develop a fever, the infection spreads rapidly to nearby tissues, and severe immunosuppression such as sepsis occurs in immunocompromised individuals.

More than one million people are treated each year in Korea.

In mosquito bite, it is best not to touch where it is possible to bite, and if it is too steep, cold water is helpful.

The sound of mosquito flies flying to our ears during sleep may exceed the 40-dB inter-layer noise standard.

Sleep disorders can cause fatigue and disruption in our biological clocks, which can lead to a decrease in immunity.

The mood of mosquitoes and mosquito bites can cause sleep disturbances. "The best way to protect our bodies from the dangers of these mosquitoes is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes," said the chairman of the academic committee. "The best way to avoid mosquitoes is to use mosquito repellents." 19659002] "DEET is the most widely used mosquito repellent in the world." The mosquito repellent DEET is a major problem in Korea, which is also a major problem in the prevention of tick diseases, "

In general, the anti-mosquito product of DEET is effective depending on the concentration of DEET

If you need to apply a mosquito repellent and sunscreen, the order of application is important.

The new Academic President "In the summer, mosquito repellents and screens Solar need to be applied together, "he added." At this point, be sure to apply sunscreen and a mosquito repellent should be applied later. "

Also," In Korea , we mainly use mosquito nets that physically block mosquitoes, but in developing countries like Africa and Southeast Asia, when one goes to a dangerous area of ​​disease transmitted by mosquitoes, it is recommended to use a sifted insecticide treated with permethrin to block mosquitoes, mites, fleas, etc. "
