Chapter 431: Hidden Dangers of Summer
"By the way, I was busy putting on makeup just now and forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xu Junyu, and I am the makeup artist of the crew, please take care of me. The female makeup artist introduced herself.
Zhang Zi'an shook hands with her, and after shaking hands, his hands were stained with some cosmetic powder, which smelled fragrant. He thinks that this woman is a bit like a sphinx, she likes to make people guess riddles, although she won't eat the other person if she guesses wrong, but the things she will reward are not attractive - what the hell is it to dress him up as a cute girl? He's not a women's clothing boss!
After laughing for a while, Xu Junyu said: "Actually, at the beginning, I didn't name it this, it was summer, my house lived on the first floor, there were a lot of flowers and plants around, and after the indoor lights were turned on at night, mosquitoes would burrow into the house everywhere." My cat is simply unbearable, I have received a lot of red envelopes, it is so itchy that it can't be done, it rubs everywhere all day long, and when it rubs too badly, it can break the skin...... I felt distressed when I saw it full of red envelopes, so I renamed it 'Charlotte'. I suggest that if you want to get a Sphynx cat, it's best to live on a high-rise floor, or in a place free of mosquitoes. ”
"It's so pitiful, what should I do then?" asked a girl who was in charge of chores in the crew.
Xu Junyu shrugged, "What else can I do, light mosquito coils, even if the mosquitoes don't bite it, they will bite me......"
Zhang Zi'an interrupted: "Wait a minute, you mean to light mosquito coils in the summer?"
"yes...... But I just bought it this year, and it's only been a summer. She said, seeing that Zhang Zi'an's face was not quite right, she asked again: "What's wrong with lighting mosquito coils?"
Zhang Zi'an shook his head and said, "If you have a cat, it's best not to light mosquito coils." ”
"Why?" she humbly pleaded.
"The main ingredient in mosquito coils, pyrethroid, is not harmful to humans and dogs, because after humans and dogs inhale it, the liver can metabolize this chemical, but cats cannot, cats' livers do not have the ability to metabolize pyrethroids, and long-term accumulation in the body will cause irreversible damage to cats, and may even lead to death in severe cases. Zhang Zi'an patiently explained, "Of course, larger cats will have stronger tolerance, and relatively speaking, kittens are more dangerous. ”
It was the first time that the people present had heard this kind of statement, and they exchanged heads and talked about it for a while.
"Are you serious? Mosquito coils are really bad for cats?" Lord Xu Jun couldn't believe his ears.
Zhang Zi'an replied affirmatively: "It's true." This is not my words, but there is a scientific basis. For those who have cats at home, it is best not to light mosquito coils until the last resort. If you really can't stand being bitten by mosquitoes, you can light mosquito coils at home, close the doors and windows, leave the house temporarily with the cat, go outside to avoid for an hour or two, and wait for the mosquitoes in the room to be killed, and then come back to open the windows to ventilate, so that the smell of mosquito coils can dissipate - of course, don't open the screens. ”
Ordinary cats are not too afraid of mosquito harassment, but hairless cats are very embarrassed, and if they don't light mosquito coils, they will be bitten and they will be poisoned.
"Then what should I do? I lit mosquito coils for half a summer, will Charlotte in my house be okay?" After she heard this, she believed that Zhang Zi'an would not be lying, and she was about to cry.
Including Lin Feng and Feng Xuan, many people comforted her with a word, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Zhang Zi'an said: "Don't be too anxious, mosquito coils are certainly toxic to cats, but you also need to pay attention to the dose, and different mosquito coils contain different concentrations of methrin." Your cat was fine at the time, which means that it has a strong tolerance ability, and the accumulated toxicity in the body is not enough to cause poisoning symptoms, as long as you pay more attention in the future and use mosquito coils scientifically, it will not be in serious trouble. ”
She suddenly said, "By the way, I use baby mosquito coils at home, does it have anything to do with this?"
"There is a relationship. The concentration of pyrethroid in baby mosquito coils is low, and of course, the relative mosquito repellent effect is also low. Zhang Zi'an nodded.
She was finally somewhat relieved, and whispered to her heart: "Scared me to death, almost accidentally killed my Charlotte......"
"In fact, mosquito coils are not particularly dangerous, what is more dangerous is the insecticide, if the insecticide is sprayed on the cat, it is likely to cause the cat to fall into a coma or even die on the spot. Families with cats should simply throw away the insecticide to avoid accidental misuse. Zhang Zi'an reminded again.
Among the people present, not only the female makeup artist raised a cat alone, but other cat owners were also afraid when they heard it, who would have thought that mosquito coils and insecticides, which are necessary in summer, are actually the natural enemies of cats......
"No wonder, I remember one time, after lighting mosquito coils at home, my cat wilted, and kept wanting to sleep, as if I couldn't wake up, at that time I thought the cat was sick, and I took it to the pet clinic and didn't find out why, probably because of the mosquito coils?" someone asked.
Zhang Zi'an nodded, "Yes, it should be right." An experienced veterinarian should ask you though, after all, cats can't speak. ”
"Nope. The veterinarian did some random checks, didn't ask anything, and then told me that it was okay, that the cat food I ate was not good, and forcibly sold me a few cans of cat food......," the man said angrily.
"That's probably a quack, maybe I don't even have a medical qualification certificate, so let's change clinics next time." Zhang Zi'an sympathetically advised.
"Once, my cat had been pulling its belly for several days, and I thought it was a bad meal or a cold, but now that I think about it, I seem to have lit mosquito coils at that time, is this the reason?" someone asked again.
"Maybe. Zhang Zi'an guessed, "Didn't you take the cat to the pet hospital or clinic to see?"
"I went, but after I went, I was treated according to the usual diarrhea, although it was cured, but it is estimated that it is a symptom but not a cure...... If only I had known. The man was angry and regretful.
Knowing that his cat was not in imminent danger, Xu Junyu was a little relieved, but new distress arose. She waited for others to finish asking, and then asked: "Xiao Zhang, let me ask again, according to what you said, you can't use mosquito coils or insecticides, so what should I do if there are mosquitoes in the summer? Don't let me move! My house is still paying off the loan, and I really can't afford to move!"
Some people suggest that it is better to keep the air conditioner on all the time in the summer, and that mosquitoes will not bite people if the air conditioner is turned on.
Xu Junyu just shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer. Because it is difficult for her to say in public that she can't get cold or turn on the air conditioner when her menstrual period comes, and she has to endure it no matter how hot it is in summer, won't she be stung alive by mosquitoes at that time?
