Okuqukethwe
Noma yimuphi umnikazi wezilwane ezifuywayo uyazi ngezingozi zamazeze nemikhaza, kodwa kunesinye izinambuzane ezisongela ukuphila kwezilwane ezifuywayo okungakhulunywa kakhulu ngazo: omiyane. Ngaphambi kokosa inyama egcekeni noma uhambo lwempelasonto ezintabeni, thina bantu sihlomisa ngezifutho, amakhandlela nempepho ukuze sixoshe omiyane, kodwa ngokuvamile siyakhohlwa ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ezifanayo kwabangane bethu abanemilenze emine.
Omiyane bangase bangabonakali njengenkinga ezilwaneni ezinoboya ngokuqhathaniswa njengezinja namakati, kodwa uboya obude abuzivikeli ukuba zingalunywa. Nakuba ngokuvamile sihlobanisa ukulunywa omiyane nokuluma nokucasuka, bangaphinda baphathe izifo eziyingozi zebhaktheriya kanye nezimuncagazi, okuyinhloko isikelemu senhliziyo. Omiyane badlala indima ebalulekile ekudluliseleni izikelemu zenhliziyo zisuka kwezinye izilwane zasendle ezinjengama-coyote nezimpungushe, ziye ezinjeni nasemakati. Uma sezikhulile, izikelemu zenhliziyo zingaphila iminyaka engu-5 kuya kwengu-7 ezinjeni futhi iminyaka emi-2 kuya kwemi-3 emakati. Ngenxa yokuphila kwabo isikhathi eside, inkathi ngayinye yomiyane idala ingozi yokwandisa inani lezikelemu esilwaneni esifuywayo.
Ngaphezu kwezikelemu zenhliziyo, ezinye izifo ezithwalwa omiyane zihlanganisa i-West Nile virus kanye ne-Eastern equine encephalitis. Nakuba ucwaningo lunganele ukusho ngokucacile ukuthi igciwane leZika lithinta amakati nezinja (icala lokuqala eliqinisekisiwe le-Zika latholakala enkawuni ye-rhesus ehlala ehlathini leZika), ukukhathazeka mayelana nokusabalala kwayo e-United States kuyaqhubeka kukhula. Nakuba zonke lezi zifo zingavamile kunezibungu zenhliziyo, zingabangela ukugula okukhulu kuwe nasezifuyweni zakho futhi kufanele zibe ku-radar yakho.
Uma ucabanga ukwabelana nge-DEET nesilwane sakho esifuywayo ngenkathi usengadini noma usendleleni—hhayi ngokushesha. I-DEET nezinye izinto ezixosha izinambuzane akufanele neze zisetshenziswe kumakati nezinja ngoba izilwane ezifuywayo zivame ukuzikhotha. Uhlelo olungcono kakhulu lwesinyathelo sokugcina izilwane ezifuywayo ziphephile ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuvimbela zesikhathi eside. Nawa amanye amathiphu okulawula nokugwema omiyane ekhaya lakho:
Susa amanzi amile
Susa amanzi amile azungeze ikhaya lakho negceke futhi ushintshe amanzi endishini yamanzi yesilwane sakho esifuywayo okungenani kanye ngosuku. Omiyane bakhangwa izindawo eziswakeme futhi bazalela amaqanda nxazonke nasemanzini amile. Zidinga kuphela intshi yamanzi ukuze zizale futhi azivamile ukuhamba ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-1,000 ukusuka endaweni yazo yokuzalanisa.
Lungisa ikhaya lakho
Lungisa amafasitela aphukile nezikrini eduze kwekhaya lakho futhi ugcwalise izikhala phakathi kwama-air conditioner namafasitela. Uma uvuka nokulunywa okusha (hlola nezilwane ezifuywayo!), Kungase kube nendawo evulekile lapho omiyane bengena khona.
Susa amanzi amile azungeze ikhaya lakho negceke futhi ushintshe amanzi endishini yamanzi yesilwane sakho esifuywayo okungenani kanye ngosuku.
Gwema amahora wokujaha
Omiyane basebenza kakhulu uma kuhwalala nasekuseni. Ungahambi nezilwane ezifuywayo noma uzishiye ngaphandle ngezikhathi zomiyane.
Thola imikhiqizo efanelekile
Bheka izinto zokuxosha eziklanyelwe amakati nezinja ngokukhethekile. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, izixazululo eziklanyelwe abantu aziphephile ngaso sonke isikhathi ezilwaneni ezifuywayo.
Njengoba ihlobo lisondela, izindawo eziningi zase-United States ziba nobusika obumanzi ngendlela engavamile, okubangela ukwanda komiyane. Kubalulekile ekuphepheni kwesilwane sakho esifuywayo ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ukulunywa omiyane. Funa iseluleko kudokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze wenze uhlelo lokuvimbela oluvumelana kangcono nezidingo zesilwane sakho esifuywayo.
