Nowadays, many people have no holiday to travel at work. Many people go out with their families to have fun during the Spring Festival. However, it is inevitable that they will use the bathroom, toilet and bedding outside to stay in the hotel. From the comments of netizens, there will be complaints from time to time that they were infected with pubic lice after staying in the hotel. After the occurrence of pubic lice, the patient's lower body is extremely itchy, which seriously affects sleep and quality of life, and may also be accompanied by folliculitis, pustules, eczema and skin damage, which makes the patient miserable. Recently, there have been many comments on the health of hotels online. So what should you pay attention to when you go out and stay in a hotel?
What is the transmission of pubic lice?
To answer the above question, first of all, we need to understand the transmission route of pubic lice. There are two ways of transmission of pubic lice, direct contact and indirect contact. The pubic louse is mainly a parasite parasitic on the body hair around the genital organs. Although the pubic louse disease is not a sexually transmitted disease, it is an infectious skin disease caused by parasitic infection, but sexual transmission is a direct and rapid way of transmission of the pubic louse disease. When one party is infected with the pubic louse, it is easy to infect the other party; The second kind of parasitism occurs through indirect contact transmission. If the living environment is poor and the population is dense, it may be infected if you accidentally encounter the patients with pubic lice or contact the towels, bedding, sheets and other daily necessities used by them.
How to prevent pubic lice when traveling?
The main method to prevent pubic lice is to cut off the source of transmission, so after understanding the transmission route of pubic lice, we can eliminate them one by one:
First of all, we should ensure the living environment and sanitation of the hotel, and try to select the hotel with good environment and guaranteed sanitation;
Secondly, it is best to bring your own towels, disposable bedding sheets, etc. If it is too late to prepare, try not to touch the private parts of the towel, or use the towel after it is scalded with boiling water, and try not to sleep naked at the same time.
Thirdly, if you use the toilet, you'd better wipe it with a paper towel or put a toilet mat on it before use. Other public places also try to use the squatting toilet. When taking a bath in the hotel, try not to take a bath in the bathtub, but take a shower instead.
