Chapter 575: Broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs are ineffective

readx;? Huang Binhuan asked: "Should we also test the water quality?"

"Of course. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info?? Cang Hao nodded: "Let's start right away." ”

The water sample taken out by Huang Binhuan has been tested before, and nothing unusual has been found.

Now that there are clear clues, re-testing has been carried out, and a large number of nematode eggs have been found.

Because the nematode is so common, it is very normal to find eggs in the water, so it did not attract attention at the time, and it is estimated that the water conservancy bureau and the water company ignored it because of this.

Cang Hao then checked the water filtration system, and found a large number of nematode eggs in the filtration layer, if it weren't for Cang Hao's huge investment in building this water filtration system, all these eggs would probably have been drunk by the Blood Lion mercenaries.

Of course, this nematode is mutated, but what is different still needs to be studied to know. In any case, the test itself is capable of finding the eggs of the nematode, but it is impossible to find that this nematode has such a terrible hazard.

"It's already obvious...... Master Mo exhaled and sorted things out: "The Dongying people cultivated this kind of nematode and released it into the Cuifeng Wetland, I speculate that they should have released the adult, and the adult worm laid a large number of eggs and polluted the water source. Many people drink contaminated water, and the eggs enter the body and develop into adults, prompting these people to commit suicide. ”

Huang Binhuan said very strangely: "But there is still a problem that has not been solved, the water source from the Cuifeng Reservoir covers a large area of Guangsha, and it is said that this urban area should have been infected, but there are not many people who commit suicide." ”

This question was answered by Lin Yan, after all, she is a medical expert, and she has some knowledge in this area, "This is not difficult to explain, any virus, bacteria and parasite eggs in the water are actually easy to kill." As long as the water is boiled and then drunk, basically most of them can be killed, so this kind of nematode is really scary to say that it is terrible, and it is not a big deal to say that it is not terrible, as long as you develop good hygienic eating habits to avoid infection. ”

Mo Shi nodded: "Although the bioengineering technology of the Dongying people is very good, and they can transform the iron worm into a special infection of the human body, no matter how it is modified, it is a creature rather than a divine object after all, and it needs to follow the universal characteristics of living things, and very few creatures can survive in boiling water." ”

Huang Binhuan understood: "In other words, people who have not been infected have basically never been exposed to unclean water sources. And anyone who has been infected must have been inattentive to something in their recent lives. ”

"Yes. The ink master nodded again: "Either they drank unboiled water, or they came into contact with the water source in its natural state when they went out to play." For example, swimming in polluted water can allow eggs to invade the body...... Of course, I'm just speculating, after all, I'm not a professional in this area. ”

Cang Hao immediately said: "I think your speculation is very reasonable, I speculate that many people may be infected when taking a bath, you must know that the water heater is generally heated at fifty or sixty degrees, and no one will boil the water and take a bath." After a pause, Cang Hao added: "In other words, after the Cuifeng Reservoir is polluted, not only drinking water, but also domestic water is not clean. ”

Huang Binhuan was taken aback: "This means that people who haven't taken a bath in the past few days are very safe, but only those who have taken a bath are dangerous." ”

"That's right. Cang Hao smiled bitterly and nodded: "In this way, things are still somewhat ironic, it is said that good hygiene habits are the most basic means to avoid diseases, but some people get sick because they love cleanliness too much." Those who have been lazy and haven't taken a bath these days have picked up a life......"

Mo Shi also smiled bitterly: "It is indeed very ironic. ”

Cang Hao listened to everyone's discussion on the side, wanting to make up for the lack of his speculation through everyone's opinions, and Mo Shi's words were very important. So Cang Hao immediately instructed the ink master: "Mobilize the matrix system, publish information on the Internet, and ask everyone not to touch natural water sources in the near future, if there is not enough bottled drinking water, be sure to boil the water before drinking, especially try not to take a bath." ”

The ink master immediately began to operate: "Okay. ”

Cang Hao wanted to tell Liao Jiajun the latest information, and let Liao Jiajun mobilize police resources to spread the information as much as possible, but as soon as Clinker took out his mobile phone, Liao Jiajun took the initiative to call over: "Hell...... Trouble ......"

Cang Hao's heart sank: "What's wrong?"

"The hospital used broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs for the two infected people, and the result was ......" Taking a deep breath, Liao Jiajun choked up and said: "The two infected people are all dead......

In general, broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs are effective in removing most parasites in the body, so there is nothing wrong with doctors using broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs.

However, not long after the two infected people took it, their bodies began to cramp violently, and finally vomited blood and died. After initial examination, one infected person died of heart disease, and the other had a cerebral hemorrhage.

The causes of death of the two infected people are not the same, but since they both died after taking broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs, it is impossible not to suspect that there is a problem with broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs.

Of course, it's not that there is a problem with broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs themselves, such drugs are over-the-counter drugs, not to mention hospitals, they are bought casually in pharmacies, and I have never heard of eating dead people. The real problem is that there may be a rejection reaction between the mutant nematode and the broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug, which means that the mutant nematode is immune to the broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug, and the mutant nematode will try to remove the active ingredient after being exposed to the broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug, and in the process it will produce severe irritation to the human body, resulting in the death of the two infected people.

"Twenty-one more infected people just came over, all of whom committed suicide after being stopped by the police on duty. Liao Jiajun was really about to cry: "I thought that there would be no problem with sending these people to the hospital, but I didn't think that the hospital would have no way to treat them." Since broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs do not work, it is necessary to develop effective drugs, and the time required for this process is not easy to say, it may only take a few days, or it may take months or even years......"

"What did the attending physician say?"

"He was completely dumbfounded...... Liao Jiajun shook his head very painfully: "After the two infected people died, he squatted in the corridor with his head in his arms and cried, and a big man cried like a tearful man." He believes he is responsible for the deaths of the two infected, but I don't think he can really be blamed for the whole thing, after all, no one has ever encountered such a thing before, and it is completely beyond his expertise and experience. ”

Cang Hao cried and laughed twice: "What's the use of crying, if crying can solve the problem, I can also cry with it, although I can never shed tears." ”

"The only way we can do it now is to sedate the infected and keep them as sleepy as possible. But there are more and more people, and this method can't last......" After a pause, Liao Jiajun told Cang Hao again: "In addition, there are five people who committed suicide again......"

"If the human body is not exposed to water, then the nematode will come out of the human body on its own...... Cang Hao thought about it and said slowly: "If the infected person is left in a coma for a long time, will the nematode be excreted on its own, and then the human body will be clean?"

"I really discussed it with the attending physician before...... Liao Jiajun exhaled heavily, and then said: "The attending physician believes that mating and reproducing offspring is the instinct of any kind of creature, and the cause of the nematode poisoning humans is just to keep the population reproducing, of course, some people deliberately take advantage of this characteristic of the nematode." If the human body has not been exposed to water for a long time, the nematodes may be impatient to leave the human body on their own for the need to mate and reproduce, but this is only a possibility. Some nematodes do this, and some will remain in the human body and continue to try to drive humans to suicide. In addition, this may also have a certain relationship with the individual's physique, some people will excrete nematodes, and some people will not. According to the hospital's observations, there are currently two infected people who have never ruled out any nematodes, and as long as they are not in a coma, they are crazy about throwing themselves into the water. ”

"Understood...... Cang Hao felt a little desperate: "In other words, the human body cannot be expected to be self-purifying, as long as no effective treatment is found, these infected people are still very dangerous." ”

"That's it. Liao Jiajun bothered and didn't have a good rest, and his voice became more and more hoarse: "Ordinary nematodes can survive in the human body for a long time, and the viability of this mutant nematode will only be stronger, I estimate that it can survive for several years." In other words, since we can't cure the infected, we can only keep them asleep, just like a vegetative person. Eventually, the nematode may die in the human body, after all, this thing also has a life cycle and cannot survive forever. It's just that even if a normal person sleeps like this for several years, he will become a half-idiot when he wakes up, not to mention that the sedative itself has great side effects. ”

"What does Jinghua University say?"

"What can they do......" Liao Jiajun smiled bitterly again: "They are now studying nematode samples to find out which drugs can be used to effectively kill them without causing too much impact on the environment." After the nematodes are killed, the water becomes so toxic that even other organisms cannot survive, let alone humans. It is estimated that the results should be available tomorrow morning, and then the water department and the water company will take immediate action...... Oh, by the way, as you said, these two departments actually found nematode eggs in the previous water quality tests, but because they were within the national standard, they didn't take it seriously. ”
