10 kinds of insects to prevent when traveling outdoors

Many friends like to travel outdoors whenever they have a holiday. For example, when they go to mountains or forests, they will often see various insects and are easily attacked by these insects and mosquitoes. So, how should we prevent and control the damage caused by these insects at this time? What insect damage must be prevented during outdoor sports travel?

1. Centipede.

This kind of insect can also be found in the toilet, under rotten tree leaves, or when children are playing in the mud, there may be centipedes in the mud. The sting of centipedes is very painful and the damage is quite serious. Therefore, it is generally recommended not to turn over rotten leaves and decaying matter when you are outdoors. If you are bitten, be sure to suck out the venom with your mouth in time

2. Wasp.

Many people do not pay attention to hornets, especially when they go to play in the woods with better sunlight. They move around and run around, which can easily cause hornets to become agitated and thus get stung by them. Therefore, when you are outdoors, pay attention to the environment around you. If there are hornets, it is best to leave that area.

3. Caterpillar.

Caterpillars are very cute and furry, especially children like them. For example, there are caterpillars on pine trees or poplar trees, and some caterpillars spin silk and hang from the trees. When children encounter it, they will pick it up and play with it. Be careful, some caterpillars are poisonous. After biting, the skin will become red, swollen and infected. It is recommended to tie a handkerchief around the bite to prevent the child from scratching it.

4. Bees.

Although bees are non-toxic and not actively aggressive, children will want to catch a bee when they see it landing on a flower. Or if adults run around outside and anger the bees, they will sting. In this case, you must remove the bee stinger immediately. Just add some saliva and it will be fine.

5. Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are the medium that spreads diseases, so everyone must be careful, especially when you are outdoors. The mosquitoes you encounter are large and very harmful. Children must be more careful when they are outside to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Especially those mosquitoes with flower-shaped wings. When bitten by a mosquito, it is recommended to apply some medicated oil to relieve the pain.

6. Ants.

The ants we usually encounter are non-toxic and harmless, but there is a kind of large ant outdoors that can sting people and contains toxins. Generally, after being bitten, people will feel numb and the skin at the bite will be necrotic. It is recommended that when you sit on the ground outdoors, you should pay attention to whether there are large ants.

7. Bed bugs.

Damage from bed bugs has been reported recently. They also appear in some corners, dark corners. When we are cooling off in the summer, we should be careful. If you find any slimy crawling marks nearby, it is recommended that you do not sit there, or observe whether there are any bed bugs. If you are bitten, you can wipe it with saliva, but never scratch it, which may cause infection.

8. Ticks.

This kind of insect often appears on the grass, and when we are outside, we like to sit on the grass, especially during summer or autumn outings. When ticks appear, they will bite your exposed skin, causing redness, swelling, and even ulceration. It is recommended to lay a sheet or a pad before sitting on the grass.

9. Spider.

Although we may not encounter extremely venomous spiders outdoors, there will still be some spiders with weaker venom or hidden venom. After being bitten by a spider, you will feel itchy and painful. It is recommended not to scratch it at this time. It is best to rinse it with clean water. If you have a Band-Aid, you can stick it on and go to the hospital for treatment.

10. Leeches.

Leeches live in water. When you are outdoors and want to play in the water, you may encounter these insects. Remember, if you want to play in the water outside, make sure your skin is not broken when you enter the water, otherwise the blood will attract leeches. If a leech bites you, do not pull it out with water, as it will make it burrow even harder. Instead, use slapping the leech.

Many friends who like outdoor sports and traveling will definitely be attacked by natural mosquitoes and suffer from them, so friends who like traveling should take precautions in this regard before going out.
