Patient's question:
Dr. Shao, I heard your hospital has a treatment method for this. Is it like getting a vaccine? What is the general medical process like?Doctor's answer:
Mites will die in a dry environment with humidity below 15%, and they cannot reproduce further in low-temperature conditions. Therefore, even though they are becoming increasingly adaptable and resistant to traditional insecticides, making it difficult to completely eliminate them, maintaining good household and personal hygiene remains an economical and effective method for pest control.The specific methods include: keeping living and working spaces well-ventilated and dry, frequently changing and washing clothes and bedding, regularly exposing, beating, and vacuuming items such as bedding, mattresses, pillowcases, grass mats, and carpets. In spring and summer, grass and bamboo mats can be frequently sunned, beaten, or wiped with 75% ethanol, or aromatic insect-repellent products like camphor blocks can be placed under mattresses or mats. Regularly use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from carpets, and you can also spray pyrethroid insecticides on carpets or wipe them with cotton rags soaked in turpentine. It is best not to let pets into the bedroom and to bathe and deworm them regularly, as well as disinfect them.
