各位好:

清明節是中國傳統的節日，人們通常對已逝的祖先表達敬意。

清明連假，別讓恙蟲打擾你的出門計畫！任何草叢都有可能是恙蟲的據點
切記~穿好長袖長褲、塗好防蚊液，回家後馬上換衣服、洗澡

如果有出現持續性高燒、頭痛、背痛、惡寒、盜汗、淋巴結腫大等症狀請立即就醫，約一週後皮膚會出現紅色斑狀丘疹；被叮咬處通常會出現無痛性焦痂。

被叮咬處通常在皮膚皺摺處，以及襪口、袖口、褲子鬆緊帶等縮緊部位，還有鼠蹊部等隱密處。在沒有經過適當治療的病患中，死亡率可高達60%。因此民眾如有出現疑似恙蟲病症狀，應儘速就醫並告知醫師旅遊史，特別是出入草叢等活動史，以提供醫師臨床診斷之參考。

好好享受安心無恙的連假吧~

Furthermore, if you have a recent history of activities or work in areas with outbreaks in Tainan City within the past two weeks or have entered the country from Southeast Asian countries, seek medical attention promptly if you experience the above symptoms.

We remind all students and staff to regularly inspect their living environments, proactively eliminating any stagnant water containers indoors and outdoors that may harbor disease-carrying mosquitoes, such as buckets, cans, bottles, flower pot trays, and roof gutters. Implementing the "inspect, empty, clean, and brush" approach is essential to prevent mosquito breeding.


【How to avoid scrub typhus】
Scrub typhus, also known as bush typhus, is transmitted through bites of infected chiggers (larval mites). Especially when you are playing outdoor games or just taking a stroll in the park.

Chigger mites infect human skin through areas of contact with vegetation, such as trouser cuffs and shirt sleeves and collars. They are also commonly known as harvest mites, harvest bugs, harvest lice, mower's mites, or red bugs.

Chiggers belong to the same class as spiders and ticks. They move across the skin in search of a feeding area. Chiggers insert their feeding structures into the skin and inject enzymes that cause the destruction of host tissue.

How to avoid scrub typhus

1.Avoid areas with lots of vegetation and brush where chiggers may be found.
2.Wash your hands and feet with soap and water after outdoor activity. 3.Wash clothes in hot water.
4.Avoid outdoor activity during the humid or rainy season. Chiggers do not thrive in hot or cold weather.
5.Proper outdoor clothing can prevent infection. Full trousers and full-sleeved shirts, as well as thick socks and shoes can help prevent infection. Trouser legs can be tucked into shoes or boots if possible.
6.Use insect repellent or wear clothes treated with insecticide like permethrin.

Scrub typhus symptom
Fever. Headache. Body aches and muscle pain. Rashes. A dark, scab-like region at the site of the chigger bite (also known as eschar). Enlarged lymph nodes, Immediately see a doctor.

if the infection gets severe, it can lead to pneumonitis, encephalitis, mental changes ranging from confusion to coma, organ failure, congestive heart failure and circulatory collapse.

What to do if you get chigger bites

1.If you feel you've been bitten by chiggers, give yourself a full body check. The first warning sign is tiny red dots that spread rapidly across your skin and Immediately see a doctor.
2.Take a bath
3.Wash your clothes, blankets and towels in hot water
4.Apply anti-itch cream or ointment, like menthol, calamine lotion, or hydrocortisone.
5.Chigger mites sometimes transmit the bacterium that causes scrub typhus
