Scrub Typhus Originates from Insect Bites
Insect bites are the source of scrub typhus. The bacteria of scrub typhus begin to multiply in the body when this worm known as Thrombocytopenic Mites enters, and this is where the insect thrives in the rodents dwelling in the fields, shrubs, and grass. When going to work in the fields, individuals frequently get bitten on their feet by this insect. Patients with scrub typhus experience a high temperature, headache, muscular stiffness, and bodily deterioration. People who detect these symptoms should visit the hospital right once to schedule a test. It is not advisable for people to seek rescue in fields and grass. If you must use the loo, completely cover your body. Every year a large number of scrub typhus cases are reported in Himachal.
