Health for All says
Recently, there has been a disgusting news about cockroaches crawling into women's ears on the Internet, which has attracted widespread attention and concern. While similar rumors are common online, that doesn't mean we can take them lightly. As an old Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to tell you that although this situation is rare, it does exist and should be brought to our attention.
First, let's take a look at why cockroaches crawl into women's ears. Cockroaches are a ubiquitous pest that eats and is greedy for food from garbage heaps. Humans' body temperature is high and the metabolic smell emitted is highly attractive, so cockroaches are attracted to people's surroundings. In sleep, people's resistance is weaker, and the ear is a warm and humid environment, so cockroaches will choose to enter the ear.
So, what should we do if a cockroach crawls into our ears?First of all, don't panic and reach for it. Because after the cockroach crawls into the ear, it will feel trapped and become more excited, and if we use our hands to scratch, it will make the cockroach penetrate deeper into the ear canal and even hurt the eardrum. The correct thing to do is to stay calm, try to keep your ears lying flat, and then rinse your ears with clean, warm water to rinse out the cockroaches. If the cockroaches still cannot be excreted, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and ask a professional doctor to remove them.
The old Chinese medicine doctor gave a simple and effective recipe for getting rid of cockroaches, that is, "peppermint to eliminate cockroaches". This is a recipe with peppermint as the main medicinal material, peppermint has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, dissipating wind and relieving pain, and can effectively eliminate cockroaches. The production method is also very simple, just grind the appropriate amount of mint leaves into powder, then take the appropriate amount of mint powder and apply it near the ears and massage it slightly. In general, the aroma of peppermint powder is able to repel cockroaches and keep them away from the ears.
In addition, we can also reduce the chances of cockroaches getting into our ears through daily health care. First of all, keep the room clean and hygienic, and pay attention to the disposal of garbage. Cockroaches mainly rely on garbage for their livelihood, and the indoor environment is clean and tidy, which can reduce the breeding of cockroaches. Secondly, insect repellent or cockroach patches can be used. These products are often rich in ingredients that are toxic to insects and can effectively deter cockroaches from approaching.
In conclusion, although it is rare for cockroaches to crawl into women's ears in their sleep, they do exist. We should keep the room clean and strengthen hygiene prevention and control to avoid such situations as much as possible. If something unfortunate happens, be sure to stay calm and take the right approach to avoid unnecessary injury. At the same time, I also remind the general public to remain vigilant against all kinds of rumors and false news, and not to believe them easily, so as not to cause panic and harm.
