Post Date April, 15 2023
When women use the toilet in some public places, they often make difficulties, because most shopping malls and office buildings now use the toilet. After all, the sanitation in public places is not as good as at home. Is it dirty to sit on it conveniently? Will it be infected? Some netizens suspected that they had got pubic lice, which itched unbearably. Did they get sick because they used public toilets?
Some doctors said that lice are parasitic on human skin, called head lice on hair, and pubic lice on pubic hair. They are transmitted through sexual contact. The use of personal clothing, bedding and towels with patients can also be infected. As for whether using the toilet will be infected, most of the cases are not, because the pubic lice can't survive for long in a smooth environment. However, if the patient with pubic lice has just used the toilet and another healthy woman immediately sits on it, there may be a risk of infection. Therefore, if female friends are worried, they can wipe the toilet before using it to reduce the risk.
What harm does it do to get pubic lice?
Entangled by pubic lice has four main effects on the body:
1、 It is extremely itchy. Pruritus is the most obvious symptom of pubic lice. It is because pubic lice bite human skin to absorb blood and prevent blood from coagulating and injecting saliva to cause itching. The pubic lice bite many times every day, so the patient will feel itchy all the time.
2、 It affects the quality of life and sleep. If you get pubic lice, you will itch especially, especially when you sleep at night. If it is serious, it will affect your sleep. The growth site of pubic lice is relatively private, and it is also very awkward to scratch.
3、 It can cause folliculitis, pustules and eczema. Because of frequent scratching, the skin is damaged, and the lice itself has many germs, causing skin inflammation and pustules.
4、 The affected part bitten by pubic lice can be seen with gray spots. It doesn't hurt or itch. It will last for several months.
Six points should be paid attention to in the prevention of pubic lice disease:
1. First of all, pay attention to healthy sexual life. The pubic lice are transmitted through sexual life. At the same time, you should also remind your partner to wear condoms to have sex and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. If one of the husband and wife suffers from pubic lice, they must go to the specialized department of the regular hospital for timely treatment, and avoid sexual life during treatment.
