一個溫熱春天,一堆潮濕的泥土,就孕育了細小卻萬惡的源頭-蠓!有被它咬過的朋友應該都明白,被蠓咬過後比被蚊子咬更癢,更難退,而且還會出現水泡。編輯就有過在巴士站等車被蠓咬得雙腳腫痛,癢得失去理智,寢食不安,長達 3 星期才開始消退的痛苦經歷。
相信大家在不少報導中都看過,「蠓」是一種微小型的吸血性昆蟲,呈黑色,通常集體行體,因此經常出現多達數十處被叮咬的情況。 對大部分人來說,被蠓叮咬會迅速感到不適及引致發炎更可持續數天至數星期。 搔抓會使瘙癢惡化,可導致細菌感染及令傷處愈合緩慢。
不想「捐血」,外出時就要做足防蟲措施,但市面上的驅蚊劑都含有(DEET)避蚊胺的化學成分,其安全性一直備受爭議,而環保和生態的議題不斷。不想使用太多化學品在身上的話,今期馬上為大家介紹中醫和天然香薰治療的方法,天然無害驅趕蚊蟲。

注冊中醫師潘侃傑指出濕熱*的體質體味較重,出汗多加上體溫較高,因此最容易招惹蚊蠓叮咬。改善體質可減少被叮咬的機會,除了多喝薏米水和少吃生冷食物外,陰虛人士可多喝雪梨汁和蜂蜜,而熱盛體質可多喝西瓜和苦瓜汁清熱。
*濕熱包括口乾、鼻乾、口渴、小便黃、易喉嚨痛等。

</tbody></table>香薰精油驅蠓

姑勿論DEET驅蚊產品的安全性,不少人都不喜歡其氣味。DK AROMATHERAPY 的香薰治療師 Kat 就表示,香茅、檸檬草和薰衣草等天然精油都有驅蟲功效,前兩者配合使用效果更好。不過精油不能直接用於皮膚之上,必須稀釋才能使用。只須簡單準備蒸餾水,精油溶解劑和精油,便可自製一支天然的驅蚊劑。

</tbody></table>紓緩痕癢痛楚

萬一不幸已被蠓咬到,抓癢只會愈抓愈癢,而且蠓咬會形成水泡,萬一抓破會有細菌感染,更難復原。即時處理方法可以冰敷來減低痕癢感,又或者利用牙膏塗於患處。因牙膏含碳酸鈣,呈䶢性,可中和酸性止癢,另外即時用番梘洗傷口可沖洗蠓的口水殘留物,納鹽成份可以止癢。
