Discovering "8 -legged demon" nest in the boy's ear often heard strange noises
A 8 -year -old boy in Taichung (Taiwan, China) has recently been tinnitus and hears strange noises inside the ear.At first, family members thought that the baby had water in the ears when bathing but using a cotton swab, and still did not improve.They began to think that the boy was just nagging or was influenced by a certain movie and story book.A week passed, the boy started insomnia and fever was suspected to be an otitis media and went to the doctor.
Here, Wu Zhaokuan Ear Tai, Taiwan (Taiwan, China) discovered the unexpected truth, making the whole family panic and regret.It turned out that deep inside the boy's ear had a "8 -legged demon" that was sucking blood and producing a lot of eggs, sealing and causing inflammation of the ear canal.It was a tick.
Small ticks but when penetrating in some places in the body can cause dangerous infectious diseases
“Through the process of talking to our family, we learned that the patient recently played and slept with a cat's cat.The very high likelihood of this cat is the source of ticks into the ears of children.Because this insect often hides in pets like dogs and cats.
The ticks are an animal that burns with eight legs, capable of getting into discreet areas on the body such as ears, nape or groin to suck blood.In the process of blood suction, they secrete anesthetics that made people bite without feeling pain so it is difficult to detect.They not only cause itching, blood suction, causing inflammation, but it can also be the cause of dangerous infectious diseases such as Lyme disease, Q fever and Tularemia.
Fortunately, the boy's case was not detected too late, handled promptly and showed no signs of infectious disease.After treatment with antibiotics on the spot, he recovered completely.
Dr. Wu gives advice to parents and people who often come into contact with animals: Always check your pet after contact, especially in easy -to -hide areas such as ears or backs.When going out, if exposed to grass or environments with many insects, wear long -sleeved clothes and use mosquito repellent to reduce the risk of being attacked by ticks.
