CATDOLL : CATDOLL: I have a cut on my finger. If I use red worms to fish, will I get red worm disease?

1. I have a question. If I cut my finger and used red worms to fish, will I get red worm disease?

This is very dangerous. Red worms carry a very scary virus. A friend of mine got a virus after his hand was pierced by a hook that had been hung with red worms. He was given intravenous drips for 20 days, but the disease relapsed after he stopped taking the medicine. He was given intravenous drips for another 20 days, but the hospital did not give a clear conclusion about the virus. Now my fishing friends and I no longer use red worms. One of my friends even posted this incident on the Linyi Fishing Network Forum to warn fellow anglers. It may still be searchable now.

Although using red worms does not necessarily lead to infection, it is still better to be careful. It is recommended to wash your hands several times and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

It is recommended not to use insect bait as much as possible. When using red worms, you should be equipped with small tools such as tweezers. Do not let the red worms come into contact with the skin. Especially do not use red worms when there are wounds on your hands.

2. What is "water disease"?

It has not been qualitatively determined yet and is in the clinical stage.

Along with cancer, AIDS and schizophrenia, they are called the three major diseases and there is currently no cure for them.

3. What are the symptoms of Itai-itai disease and Minamata disease?

Itai-itai disease is cadmium poisoning caused by long-term consumption of cadmium-containing foods. Most patients are women, and symptoms include pain in the waist, hands, feet and other joints. After the symptoms persist for a few years, the patient will experience neuralgia and bone pain in all parts of the body, difficulty moving, and even breathing will cause unbearable pain. In the later stages of the disease, the patient's bones soften and atrophy, the limbs bend, the spine deforms, the bones become brittle, and even coughing can cause fractures. Patients cannot eat and are in extreme pain, often shouting "It hurts so much!" "It hurts so much!" Some people commit suicide because they cannot bear the pain. This disease is therefore named "bone cancer" or "Itai-itai disease"

Minamata disease is actually organic mercury poisoning. Patients suffer from hand and foot coordination disorders, even difficulty walking, motor disorders, mental retardation, hearing and speech disorders, extremity numbness, sensory impairment, and reduced visual field. Severe cases include mental confusion, schizophrenia, convulsions, and eventually death. About half of severe cases die within three months of onset. Pregnant women will also pass on this mercury poisoning to their babies, causing them to be born mentally retarded.

4. What are the symptoms and treatments of chickenpox?

Chickenpox is an acute infectious disease caused by the initial infection of the varicella zoster virus. The infection rate is very high. It mainly occurs in infants and young children, and is characterized by fever and the appearance of red maculopapular rashes, herpes, and scabs on the skin. You cannot go to random doctors when you are sick. You must find the disease according to the symptoms. My colleagues and I usually check the symptoms on a WeChat service account called Yihao Query when we feel uncomfortable. The description in it is very accurate and we all find it very practical.
