【Paederus Beetle Prevention Campaign】The recent sultry and humid weather, coupled with the ongoing rice harvest season, has led to a marked increase in Paederus beetle activity. We urge everyone to remain vigilant, adopt protective measures, and avoid skin injuries.The Paederus beetle is a diminutive insect commonly found in grasslands, fields, parks, and near lights. It is especially prevalent during summer, after thunderstorms, during weeding, land preparation, and the rice harvest period. Due to its phototactic nature, it often flies indoors at night and can even penetrate standard window screens.It is crucial to note that the Paederus beetle does not bite humans; however, its bodily fluids contain an irritant known as "paederin." When the insect crawls on the skin or is crushed or swatted, its fluid may come into contact with the skin, causing a burning sensation, redness, blisters, and ulcerations known as "Paederus dermatitis." In severe cases, it may leave behind pigmented scars.【Preventive Measures】When engaging in outdoor or grassy area activities, it is advisable to wear long-sleeved clothing and trousers, and use insect repellents if necessary. At night, minimize open windows and bright lights that attract insects. Inspect bedding before sleep and use mosquito nets when appropriate. If a Paederus beetle is found on the skin, do not swat or crush it; instead, gently blow it away or remove it with paper or a fan. Should contact with the insect’s fluid occur, immediately rinse the area thoroughly with plenty of water and avoid touching other parts of the body.【If symptoms such as skin redness, blisters, or burning pain develop】Seek medical attention promptly. A physician will assess the condition and provide appropriate medication to reduce the risk of infection and scarring.We remind everyone that this period marks the peak of rice harvesting and insect activity. When encountering unfamiliar insects, refrain from striking them directly. A little caution can prevent considerable harm.
