Insects and Mosquitoes: Small but Dangerous Creatures
If you're bitten by insects or mosquitoes, don't take it lightly. Bacterial infections may complicate the wound. Severe infections of the skin and subcutaneous fat layer, if not properly cared for, can allow bacteria to spread and potentially become life-threatening.
Don't overlook the care and treatment of insect or mosquito bite areas, as they can be dangerous to the point of death. Take the story of a British trainee pilot who was bitten by a mosquito on her forehead, near her eye. After the mosquito bite, bacteria began spreading into her arteries and led to blood vessel blockage in her brain. The cause of her death was recorded as septic emboli in the brain, which are blood vessel obstructions caused by infection from bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus.
In Thailand, necrotizing fasciitis has been found, caused by bacterial infections complicating wounds from insect bites, leading to inflammation. Severe cases may develop bloodstream infections, kidney failure, shock, and potentially death. This is mainly caused by two types of bacteria: Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.
Tersano has tested the effectiveness of Stabilized Aqueous Ozone (SAO) in the laboratory. Test results show it can kill 99.999% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in just 30 seconds. Caring for wounds from insect or mosquito bites by cleaning and disinfecting with Stabilized Aqueous Ozone (SAO) provides initial wound disinfection to prevent severe inflammation.
