Mid-August 2024 between barbecues and picnics on the beach or in the mountains with the nightmare of summer: the red stamp in fact affects almost every country. “WE HAD the high temperatures in Italy not only cause insects to multiply, increasing their population, but also make them very aggressive to people and the environment.creating better habitats for alien species that are spreading more and more quickly across our region.” Thus the Italian Society of Environmental Medicine (Sima) which shows how “heat promotes the growth of insects, which requires more food and water, bringing them into contact with people more and more often and increasing the number of cases of attacks and attacks. It’s good to remember that Every year in Italy up to 20 people die from waste and hornet stingsand about 2 in 100 people develop allergic reactions after hymenoptera infections.”
The red symbol indicates alert level 3 or “emergency conditions (heat wave) with possible negative effects on the health of healthy and active people and not only on risk groups such as the elderly, very young children and people suffering from chronic diseases”. The hot-bug combination can make the August vacation an odyssey: the Institute of Health (ISS) reminds of some good practices to avoid insect bites and enemies. “There are several arthropods that can bite or sting. They include wasps, hornets, bees, horseflies, ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, lice, mites, spiders and midges – the expert points out – In most cases, the gene or tick is not important and the disorders (symptoms) they cause they get better, or disappear, within a few hours or days. Rarely, they can become infected, cause life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), or spread infectious diseases.”
Tips for preventing insect bites and stings
Prevent bites and stings from insects. “To reduce the risk of being bitten or bitten by insects – continues ISS on the Issalute page – it is possible to take some simple precautions: in the presence of wasps, bees or hornets, leave quietly, avoid disturbing attack or attempt to attack them; wear long sleeves and long pants; they can attract insects; be careful when you are near flowering plants, garbage, standing water and in areas outside of our food because these are areas where insects can congregate.”
“If there are nests of insects or bees near the house, avoid getting close to them and contact experts and special workers to get rid of them; avoid camping near water (rivers, lakes, streams, swamps), where mosquitoes and horses are abundant; flies, horseflies and mosquitoes are also abundant near pastures or stable animals, avoid stopping or camping near them; keep food and drinks, especially sugary or sweet ones, covered and away from insects, bees and bees can get into the cans and open bottles from which you drink; close doors and windows or install mosquito nets and protection to prevent insects from entering; keep the car windows closed to prevent insects from entering the passenger compartment, even while driving”, concluded ISS.
