When women use the restroom in public places, many department stores and office buildings now use the restroom. After all, the hygiene condition in public places is not as good as at home, is it convenient to sit and not dirty? Are you infected? Some netizens suspect that they have contracted pubic lice, which itch unbearably. Is it because they have used a public toilet before?
Some doctors say that lice are parasitic on the human skin, called head lice on the hair, and pubic lice on the pubic hair. They are transmitted through sexual contact and are transmitted through mutual contact of pubic hair. Using close fitting clothing, blankets, and towels with patients can also cause infections. Regarding whether the use of the toilet can cause infection, in many cases, lice cannot survive for long in a smooth environment. However, when a patient with lice first uses the toilet, another healthy woman quickly sits down, posing a risk of infection. Therefore, if female friends are concerned, they can wipe before using the toilet to reduce the risk. What are the hazards of getting lice?
Being entangled by lice mainly affects the body
1、 Itching. Pruritus is the most obvious symptom of pubic lice, which bite the human skin and suck blood to prevent blood from clotting and injecting saliva, causing itching. Lice bite multiple times a day, and patients always feel itchy.
2、 Affects quality of life and sleep. Acquiring lice can cause itching, especially when sleeping at night, which can become severe and can affect sleep in severe cases. The location where lice grow is private, and it is also awkward to catch them.
3、 Causes Folliculitis, pustules, and eczema. Due to frequent scratches and skin damage, lice themselves have many pathogenic bacteria, causing skin inflammation and pus.
4、 The affected area bitten by pubic lice shows blue and gray spots. It doesn't hurt or itch, it lasts for several months before it disappears.
Six points to pay attention to in preventing lice disease:
1. Firstly, it is important to pay attention to healthy sexual activity, as lice can spread during sexual activity. While cleaning up one's own love, it is also important to pay attention to partners wearing condoms for sexual intercourse to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. If one spouse suffers from pubic lice, it is necessary to seek timely medical attention from a reputable hospital specialist and avoid sexual activity during the treatment period.
2. Pay attention to personal hygiene, clean the external genitalia every day, change underwear, and replace sanitary napkins.
3. Not sharing intimate clothing, towels, blankets, etc. with others.
4. If a family member has contracted pubic lice, they should pay more attention to home hygiene and reduce excessive contact with patients.
5. When it is convenient in public places, try to use squatting toilets as much as possible when conditions permit; If you want to use the toilet, you can wipe it with a tissue before use.
6. Take a shower in a hotel or hotel, try not to take a shower.
