Ways To Treat And Prevent Myiasis

Protect Skin With Repellant And Clothing

The parasites affect not only the exposed skin but also normal healthy skin. Therefore, all types of skin are vulnerable to invasion by the larvae. Taking care of your skin is, therefore, a priority in the prevention against the condition. Take a bath regularly with good soap to ensure your skin is clean. Take care of your hands by washing before and after taking meals.

Protect your skin with repellent and clothing when playing with your pets. Take precaution by having your pets checked from time to time by a professional vet. The measure helps to ensure your pets do not have myiasis and so you reduce the chances of contracting the disease. In as much as you try to protect your skin with repellent and clothing, it may be futile if you keep touching animals you know no history about. Keep away from interacting and touching stray animals as you do not know if they have the disease.

Put your clothes on. Ensure the clothes you wear to cover all your skin especially if you live in a fly prone region. You can wear full trousers, long-sleeved shirts, and socks to shield your skin. Repellants are equally useful in keeping the flies away from coming into contact with your skin.
