Now, cute pet culture is becoming increasingly popular, and raising a cute pet has become the choice of many people. The healing cute pet adds a lot of laughter to the family, and it is even more like a family member. The owner not only needs to bathe, dress and get a haircut for his pets, but also eat and live with them, which is very close. However, people don’t know that getting along too closely may cause diseases due to parasitic bacteria on pets. Recently, a little girl from Shenzhen has been raising a cat "bald" for raising a cat.
The girl turned bald after raising a cat for 10 days
On May 1, Lili (pseudonym) followed her mother to the pet store to buy a cat. The cat is very cute. Lili fell in love with it as soon as she saw it and refused to let go of it. Soon, this cute kitten became a member of the family. But after spending a week together, things are a little wrong. Lili began to lose her hair and even showed obvious alopecia areata on her scalp.
How come you start losing your hair after raising a cat? The more my mother thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she took her daughter to Shenzhen Children's Hospital for treatment. Li Ping, chief physician of the Dermatology Department of Shenzhen Children's Hospital, received this case. After examination, Dr. Li Ping diagnosed that Lili had tinea capitis due to fungal infection of scalp and fur. "This situation usually causes shaving hair for treatment. But considering the girl's love for beauty and her symptoms are mild, she only shaved the obviously infected area in the end. "
Not only did the hair be shaved a large piece, Lili also had to cooperate with applying medicine and taking medicine. Before her hair grew back, Lili had to wear a hat to go to school, and she was very troubled. Lili's mother felt very guilty and felt that she shouldn't take the cat home. Lili's experience has also attracted the attention of many netizens. Some people say that their children had been infected with fungal infections due to contact with puppies.
Is it really only the cats to raise pets scientifically to avoid disease transmission? With the popularity of pets, cases of tinea capitis in children often occur in recent years due to keeping pets, and it has also become a common disease in children's dermatology.
Cats generally do not itch after being infected with ringworm, but as the cat plays and caresses at home, the cat's hair dander falls off, and fungal spores will scatter all over the home. Humans are infected by contacting these animals or the environment in which they live.
"Because children have weak resistance, infected hair is prone to tinea capitis when exposed to children. "Dr. Li Ping introduced that ringworm is divided into white ringworm, yellow ringworm, black spot ringworm, and pus ringworm, which is more common in children. After entering adolescents, this situation rarely occurs as the child's resistance increases. Lili's condition is a mild symptom, and it will soon improve with active treatment.
Many parents are worried after learning about Lili's experience, can they still keep pets? What should I do with pets that have been raised?
Dr. Li Ping explained that fungal infections in hair are also common diseases for pets, so you don’t have to be too anxious. Before raising pets, it is best to go to a professional pet hospital for sterilization and treatment. If your pet carries fungi, it is timely treatment. When raising pets on a daily basis, keep the environment clean and hygienic and conduct regular fungal examinations on pets. Dr. Li emphasized that when children have symptoms such as hair loss, hair breakage, itching, erythema and pus spots on their scalp, they should seek medical treatment in time.
