Chapter Twenty-Five: Washing is Healthier!
Looking at the shopkeeper's sister's line of sight, Hao Qi also saw that on the back of the policewoman's hand, there was a small round red spot with a strange appearance.
"Cat moss?"
The policewoman first shook for a moment, and then subconsciously grabbed the back of her hand.
"Ah, it's better not to scratch it, it might leave a scar!"
While reminding the other party like this, the shopkeeper's sister quickly took out a watering can from under the counter and sprayed the banknote handed over by the policewoman just now and the back of her hand.
“…… It's not that serious, is it? ”
The policewoman's face was a little unbearable, after all, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"Cat moss is very contagious......
As soon as she subconsciously replied, she realized that it seemed that she was really inappropriate to do so, and the shopkeeper girl hurriedly showed her an apologetic smile.
At the same time, Hao Qi also spoke on the side and helped the shopkeeper explain a sentence.
"After all, this is a pet store, and it's not good if you accidentally infect other cats."
"I ...... I don't know......"
Hearing the two say this, the policewoman stomped her foot a little crampedly.
"I thought I was accidentally bitten by a mosquito or something......"
"I think it must be your cat that has cat moss and you don't know it......"
"I don't have a cat ...... at home"
When the policewoman said this, she glanced at Hao Qi with some grievances, and Hao Qi was inexplicable, so she could only help her explain.
"Actually...... She has been feeding stray cats for the past few days, probably because there are cats with cat moss in them. ”
"If it's a stray cat...... It's still normal to have cat moss. ”
Hearing Hao Qi's explanation, the shopkeeper's sister first nodded, and then reminded him with a serious face.
"You too, it's best to disinfect your clothes with hot water when you get home, and it's best not to touch your own cats until then......"
"yes, I see."
To be honest, Hao Qi was also worried about whether he would be accidentally infected...... Well, although there is indeed no intimate contact between the two, he is also a little nervous when he sees the shopkeeper's sister treating her so carefully, so after hearing her words, he naturally nodded busily.
"What the hell is this cat moss?"
Seeing that the two of them were cautious, the policewoman finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"This ...... I don't really know if you ask me, I just know that this thing is dangerous for cats. ”
Hao Qi, a player of the half-tone level, of course, had no way to explain it clearly at this time, so he could only hand over the problem to the shopkeeper's sister, and the shopkeeper's sister also lived up to her expectations and roughly described the causes and dangers of cat moss.
As a fungal infection, cat moss usually occurs when the cat is in a humid and high temperature environment, because it is under the fur, so it is not easy to be detected at first, and the cat moss itself is very easy to spread, when it forms a certain scale, it will form a hard crust on the surface of the cat's skin, and at the same time cause a large area of cat hair loss.
Moreover, because cat moss is more common in frail and nutrient-deficient cats, for cats that are already sick, suffering from cat moss will not only make cats more painful, but also may even lead to cat death in severe cases.
The most important thing is that cat moss is also contagious, and it can be transmitted to people, when people are infected, there will also be round or irregular patches of red spots and red rashes similar to what Hao Qi saw before, these macules will cause itching, and at the same time will continue to spread when scratched, if scratched, even if the cat moss heals, there is a high probability that it will leave scars on the skin.
"So what the hell am I going to do?"
"First of all, of course, it is to put an end to contact with sick cats, because you are infected by stray cats, so in the near future, it is best not to contact those stray cats......"
"But ......"
"It's a good thing to feed stray cats, but you can't joke with the health of yourself and your family."
“……”
There was a little silence for a moment, and the policewoman suddenly remembered something.
"Since it's cat moss...... It can't be transmitted to dogs, right? ”
“…… Because it is a fungal infection, it is possible for both humans and dogs to be infected. ”
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper's sister, the policewoman was startled, and her expression suddenly became nervous.
"Can I just keep out of contact with those stray cats?"
"It's one thing to keep out of contact with sick cats, but it's also important to eradicate the fungus on your body as soon as possible, and to disinfect the ...... thoroughly."
It sounds complicated.
At this time, Hao Qi was also a little fortunate - his own Miao Miao had just been infected with fleas, and if he was infected with cat moss because he was not careful, it would really be another toss.
Seeing the two girls discussing closely about how to treat cat moss, Hao Qi stood for a while, feeling that it was better for him to leave first.
"Ah, yes, that ......"
Before leaving, he still consulted the shopkeeper's sister.
"If you want to disinfect it thoroughly, can you just scald it with boiling water?"
"Well...... this"
The shopkeeper's sister tapped her chin with her finger and thought for a moment.
"There's one thing that's more reliable, but ...... It's probably not convenient for you to buy it yourself. ”
"What is it?"
"I ...... It's not easy to say. ”
was asked so bluntly, the shopkeeper's cheeks flushed slightly, and after thinking about it, she simply stuffed the watering can in her hand to Hao Qi.
"Anyway! I'll lend this to you first, and when you get home, add this to the water and soak it with your clothes, and then scald it with hot water, and you should be fine! ”
"Oh...... Thank you very much for that. ”
Seeing the shopkeeper's sister's unspeakable appearance, although Hao Qi was a little puzzled, he finally obediently took the watering can, and then brought it home with the hair cream.
"Hao Qi, you're back!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the cat lying on the sofa and pretending to sleep trotted to the door, and was about to pounce on it, but was severely stopped by her boyfriend.
"Miao Miao, wait a minute...... Stay away from me first. ”
"Huh?"
The cat looked at him with some confusion, and then puffed out its cheeks unsurprisingly.
"Wow, Hao Qi, you're really starting to hate me, aren't you!"
"Nothing like that...... Actually, it's because I'm a mobile carrier of infectious diseases now......"
I roughly told Xia Miaomiao about the fact that I met the policewoman girl again before, and the policewoman girl just happened to have cat moss, so as to calm the cat's dissatisfaction and suspicion, and then, Hao Qi stripped himself naked by dividing it by three, and then ran to the bathroom with his clothes in the reprimand of the cat's girlfriend's "perverted exhibitionist".
"Just in case, disinfect yourself first......
Unscrewed the watering can and smelled the liquid in it slightly, and didn't feel anything too heavy, it seemed that it had been diluted by the shopkeeper's sister, something similar to disinfectant, and thinking about it, she had also sprayed it with this to the policewoman's hand just now, Hao Qi also used the watering can to spray the exposed skin on his body just now, and finally poured the remaining half of the bottle into the basin, and then filled it with water and soaked all the clothes that had been taken off in it.
"That should be fine."
After eliminating the poison and ensuring that nothing went wrong, Hao Qi trotted back to the bedroom to turn over a new set of clothes for himself and put them on, and then returned to the living room.
"What does it smell like?"
Seeing her boyfriend coming, the cat first wrinkled her nose and sniffed, and then glared at him with some dissatisfaction.
"Probably...... Disinfectant water or something? I don't think it tastes good. ”
"That's because people's sense of smell is hundreds of times stronger than yours now!"
As soon as he said this, the cat suddenly blinked, as if remembering something.
"Wait a minute, I think I've smelled this somewhere......"
Approaching Hao Qi's side, sniffing seriously for a long time, Xia Miaomiao suddenly showed a suddenly realized expression, stretched out her paws and pointed at her boyfriend, but she couldn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Hao Qi raised his arm and sniffed himself - there was nothing wrong with it, except for a slight smell similar to Chinese herbal medicine, there didn't seem to be anything strange.
"Poof......
Seeing Hao Qi's incomprehensible look, the cat asked him in a strange tone.
"You really don't know what this is?"
"I don't know...... It was the owner's sister who said that this can be sterilized and disinfected, so I brought it to use......"
Speaking of this, Hao Qi suddenly remembered her strange performance before, so she added.
"However, she said that it was inconvenient for me to buy this thing, and it was inconvenient for her to say ......"
"Poof, hahaha, of course!"
Hearing this, the cat couldn't hold back anymore and fell down on the sofa and laughed.
"So! What the hell is this! ”
Seeing Xia Miaomiao's appearance, Hao Qi finally sensed that something was wrong.
"Don't be too surprised......
The cat, who couldn't hold back her laughter, mysteriously leaned into her boyfriend's ear and whispered the truth about the disinfectant.
"If I'm not mistaken...... That one...... It should be Jie'er Yin. ”
