Isishwankathelo

Iingcongconi izinambuzane ezihlala kwihlabathi jikelele. Kukho amawaka eentlobo zeengcongconi ezahlukeneyo; bamalunga nama-200 abo bahlala eUnited States.

Iingcongconi zabasetyhini ziluma izilwanyana nabantu kwaye zisela igazi labo elincinci. Bafuna iprotein nentsimbi egazini ukuvelisa amaqanda. Emva kokusela igazi, bafumana amanzi amileyo kwaye bazalela amaqanda. Amaqanda aqanduselwa kwimibungu, emva koko ibe ziipapu, emva koko abe ziingcongconi ezindala. Iinkunzi ziphila kangange veki ukuya kwiintsuku ezilishumi, kwaye iimazi zona zingaphila iiveki ezininzi. Ezinye iingcongconi ezingamabhinqa zinokufukama ebusika, kwaye zinokuphila iinyanga.

Zeziphi iingxaki zempilo ezinokubangelwa yingcongconi?

Uninzi lweengcongconi ezilumayo azinabungozi, kodwa kukho amaxesha apho zinokuba yingozi. Iindlela zokulunywa yingcongconi ezinokuchaphazela abantu zibandakanya

• Ubangela amaqhuma arhawuzelayo, njengempendulo yomxokelelwano wamajoni kumathe engcongconi. Le yeyona mpendulo ixhaphakileyo. Amaqhuma ahlala emkile emva kosuku okanye ezimbini.
• Ebangela negazi lakho, kubandakanya i-blisters, i-hives enkulu, kwaye kwiimeko ezinqabileyo, i-anaphylaxis. I-Anaphylaxis sisifo esibi esichaphazela umzimba wonke. Ngxamisekileyo kwezonyango.
• Ukusasaza izifo ebantwini. Ezinye zezi zifo zinokuba nzulu. Uninzi lwabo alunalo unyango, kwaye bambalwa kuphela abanezigonyo zokuzikhusela. Ezi zifo yingxaki enkulu e-Afrika nakwezinye iindawo ezishushu zomhlaba, kodwa uninzi lwazo lusasazeka eMelika. Enye into kukutshintsha kwemozulu, okwenza iimeko kwiindawo ezithile zaseUnited States zithandeke ngakumbi kwiintlobo ezithile zeengcongconi. Ezinye izizathu zibandakanya ukwanda kwezorhwebo, kunye nokuhamba, kwiindawo ezishushu nezitropical.

Zeziphi izifo ezinokusasazwa ziingcongconi?

Izifo eziqhelekileyo ezisasazwa ziingcongconi zibandakanya

• Chikungunya, usulelo lwentsholongwane olubangela iimpawu ezinje ngomkhuhlane kunye nentlungu edibeneyo. Iimpawu zihlala zihlala malunga neveki, kodwa kwabanye, iintlungu ezidibeneyo zinokuhlala iinyanga. Uninzi lweziganeko ze-chikungunya e-United States zikubantu abaye kwamanye amazwe. Kukho iimeko ezimbalwa apho kuye kwasasazeka eMelika.
• Idengue, usulelo lwentsholongwane olubangela umkhuhlane omkhulu, iintloko, iintlungu ezidibeneyo kunye nezihlunu, ukugabha kunye nerhashalala. Uninzi lwabantu luphucula kwiiveki ezimbalwa. Ngamanye amaxesha, kunokuba nzima kakhulu, kude kusongele nobomi. I-Dengue inqabile e-United States.
• Isifo seengcongconi, sisifo esirhorhozayo esibangela iimpawu ezinje ngemikhuhlane ephezulu, ukugodola, kunye nokugula okufana nomkhuhlane. Ingasongela ubomi, kodwa kukho iziyobisi zokuyinyanga. Isifo seengcongconi yingxaki enkulu kwezempilo kwiindawo ezininzi ezishushu nezitropic zehlabathi. Phantse zonke iimeko zesifo seengcongconi eUnited States zikubantu abahambele kwamanye amazwe.
• Intsholongwane yeNayile yeNtshona (WNV), usulelo lwentsholongwane oluhlala lungekho zimpawu. Kulawo anempawu, zihlala zimnene, kwaye zibandakanya umkhuhlane, intloko ebuhlungu, kunye nobucaphucaphu. Kwiimeko ezinqabileyo, intsholongwane inokungena kwingqondo, kwaye inokusongela ubomi. I-WNV isasazeke kwilizwekazi laseMelika.
• Intsholongwane kaZika, usulelo lwentsholongwane oluhlala lungabangeli zimpawu. Umntu omnye kwabahlanu osulelekileyo ufumana iimpawu, ezihlala ziphakathi. Babandakanya umkhuhlane, irhashalala, iintlungu ezidibeneyo kunye neliso elipinki. Ngaphandle kokusasazeka ngeengcongconi, iZika inokusasazeka ukusuka kumama iye kosana ngexesha lokukhulelwa kwaye ibangele iziphene ezinzulu zokuzalwa. Iyakwazi ukusasazeka ukusuka kwelinye iqabane ukuya kwelinye ngexesha lesini. Kukho ukuvela okumbalwa kweZika kumazantsi eUnited States.

Ngaba ukulunywa yingcongconi kunokuthintelwa?

• Sebenzisa into yokugxotha izinambuzane xa usiya ngaphandle. Khetha i-Arhente yokuKhuselwa kokusiNgqongileyo (i-EPA) egxotha izinambuzane. Ziyavavanywa ukuqinisekisa ukuba zikhuselekile kwaye ziyasebenza. Qinisekisa ukuba i-repellant inesinye sezithako: i-DEET, i-picaridin, i-IR3535, i-oyile ye-eucalyptus yelamuni, okanye ipara-menthane-diol. Kubalulekile ukulandela imiyalelo kwileyibhile.
• Gquma. Nxiba imikhono emide, iibhulukhwe ezinde kunye neekawusi xa uphandle. Iingcongconi zinokuluma ngelaphu elibhityileyo, ke tshiza iimpahla ezincinci nge-EPA-ebhalisiweyo egxothayo njenge-permethrin. Sukufaka i-permethrin ngqo kulusu.
• Ubungqina beengcongconi kwikhaya lakho. Faka okanye ulungise izikrini kwiifestile naseminyango ukuze kungabikho iingcongconi ngaphandle. Sebenzisa umoya opholileyo ukuba unayo.
• Lahla iindawo zokuzalela iingcongconi. Rhoqo amanzi amileyo angenanto avela endlwini yakho nakwiyadi. Amanzi anokuthi abe kwiimbiza zeentyatyambo, iigatha, iibhakethi, izigqubuthelo zamachibi, izitya zamanzi ezilwanyana zasekhaya, amathayi alahliweyo, okanye iibhedi zeentaka.
• Ukuba ucwangcisa ukuhamba, fumana ulwazi malunga neendawo oza kuya kuzo. Fumanisa ukuba ngaba kukho ingozi yezifo kwiingcongconi, kwaye ukuba kunjalo, ingaba kukho iyeza okanye iyeza lokuthintela ezo zifo. Jonga umboneleli wezempilo oqhelene namayeza okuhamba, ngokufanelekileyo iiveki ezi-4 ukuya kwezi-6 ngaphambi kohambo lwakho.
