Ucwaningo lwangoMsombuluko lubonise ukuthi ukusebenzisa izingubo eziphathwe nge-permethrin ukuvimbela ukulunywa yizimpukane, okungabangela izifo eziningi ezimbi.
I-PERMETHRIN iyisibulala-zinambuzane esenziwe ngokwenziwa esifana nesakhi semvelo esitholakala kuma-chrysanthemum. Ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa ngoMeyi luthole ukuthi ukufafaza i-permethrin ezingutsheni kuyawaqeda amandla amakhizane ngokushesha, kuwavimbele ekulumeni.
“I-Permethrin inobuthi obukhulu emakatini,” kubhala uCharles Fisher, ohlala eChapel Hill, NC, “ngaphandle kwesitatimende esincoma ukuthi abantu bafafaze i-permethrin ezingutsheni ukuze bavikeleke kuma-tick. Ukulunywa yizinambuzane kuyingozi kakhulu.”
Abanye bayavuma. “I-NPR ibilokhu ingumthombo omuhle wolwazi olubalulekile,” kubhala uColleen Scott Jackson waseJacksonville, eNorth Carolina. “Ngiyakuzonda ukubona amakati ehlupheka ngoba ulwazi olubalulekile lushiywe ngaphandle endabeni.”
Vele, sasingafuni ukuthi kwenzeke noma yiziphi izinhlekelele zamakati, ngakho sanquma ukubheka kabanzi lolu daba. Nakhu esikutholile.
Odokotela bezilwane bathi amakati azwela kakhulu i-permethrin kunezinye izilwane ezincelisayo, kodwa abathandi bamakati basengasebenzisa isibulala-zinambuzane uma beqaphela.
“Kukhiqizwa imithamo enobuthi,” kusho uDkt. Charlotte Means, umqondisi wezokwelapha ubuthi e-ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center.
Inkinga enkulu amakati abhekene nayo yilapho ethola imikhiqizo enezinga eliphezulu le-PERMETHRIN eyenzelwe izinja, kusho yena. Le mikhiqizo ingaba ne-permethrin engu-45% noma ngaphezulu.
“Amanye amakati azwela kakhulu kangangokuthi ngisho nokuxhumana ngengozi nenja elashwe kunganele ukubangela izimpawu zomtholampilo, okuhlanganisa ukuthuthumela, ukuxhuzula, kanye nokufa ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu,” kusho yena.
Kodwa ukugcwala kwe-permethrin ezifuthweni zasekhaya kuphansi kakhulu—ngokuvamile kungaphansi kuka-1%. Izinkinga azivamile ukwenzeka lapho amazinga afinyelela ku-5% noma ngaphansi, kusho uMeans.
“Yebo, ungahlala uthola abantu abasengozini kakhulu (amakati), kodwa ezilwaneni eziningi izimpawu zomtholampilo zincane,” kusho yena.
“Unganiki amakati akho ukudla kwezinja,” kusho uDkt. Lisa Murphy, uprofesa osizayo wezokwelapha ubuthi e-University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Uyavuma ukuthi isimo esiyingozi kakhulu kumakati ukuchayeka ngengozi emikhiqizweni egxile kakhulu ehloselwe izinja.
“Kubonakala sengathi amakati antula enye yezindlela ezinkulu zokugaya i-PERMETHRIN,” okwenza abe sengozini enkulu yemiphumela yale khemikhali, esho. Uma izilwane “zingakwazi ukuyigaya, ukuyiphula nokuyikhipha kahle, inganqwabelana futhi ibe sengozini enkulu yokubangela izinkinga.”
Uma ukhathazekile ngokuthi ikati lakho kungenzeka ukuthi litholakale ku-permethrin, izimpawu ezivame kakhulu ukucasuka kwesikhumba—ukubomvu, ukulunywa, nezinye izimpawu zokungakhululeki.
“Izilwane zingahlanya uma zinento embi esikhumbeni sazo,” kusho uMurphy. “Zingase ziklwebhe, zimbe futhi zigingqike ngoba akukhululekile.”
Lokhu kusabela kwesikhumba kuvame ukuba lula ukwelapha ngokugeza indawo ethintekile ngensipho yokugeza izitsha ethambile. Uma ikati lingavumi, lingayiswa kudokotela wezilwane ukuze liyogezwa.
Ezinye izindlela okufanele uziqaphele ukuvuza amathe noma ukuthinta umlomo wakho. “Kubonakala sengathi amakati azwela kakhulu ukunambitheka okubi emlonyeni wawo,” kusho uMurphy. Ukuhlanza umlomo kancane noma ukunikeza ikati lakho amanzi noma ubisi ukuze kususwe iphunga kungasiza.
Kodwa uma ubona izimpawu zezinkinga zezinzwa—ukuthuthumela, ukudikiza, noma ukuthuthumela—kufanele uyise ikati lakho kudokotela wezilwane ngokushesha.
Noma kunjalo, uma kungekho zinkinga, "isibikezelo sokululama ngokuphelele sihle," kusho uMurphy.
“Njengodokotela wezilwane, ngicabanga ukuthi konke kumayelana nokukhetha,” kusho uMurphy. Amakhizane, izimpukane, izinambuzane kanye nomiyane bathwala izifo eziningi, futhi i-permethrin kanye nezinye izibulala-zinambuzane zingasiza ekuzivimbeleni, esho: “Asifuni ukugcina sinezifo eziningi kithi noma ezifuyweni zethu.”
Ngakho-ke, uma kukhulunywa ngokuvimbela ukulunywa yi-permethrin kanye ne-tick, iphuzu elibalulekile yileli: uma unekati, qaphela kakhulu.
Uma uzofutha izingubo, kwenze kude namakati. Vumela izingubo zome ngokuphelele ngaphambi kokuba wena nekati lakho nihlangane.
“Uma ufutha i-1% ezingutsheni bese zoma, cishe ngeke uqaphele noma yiziphi izinkinga ngekati lakho,” kusho uMeans.
Qaphela kakhulu ukuthi ungabeki izingubo eziphathwe nge-permethrin eduze kwalapho ikati lakho lilele khona. Shintsha njalo izingubo ngemva kokuphuma endlini ukuze ikati lakho likwazi ukugxuma emathangeni akho ngaphandle kokukhathazeka, kusho yena.
Lokhu kungase kubonakale kusobala, kodwa uma usebenzisa i-PERMETHRIN ukucwilisa izingubo, qiniseka ukuthi ikati lakho aliphuzi amanzi asebhakedeni.
Okokugcina, funda ilebula lomkhiqizo we-permethrin owusebenzisayo. Hlola ukuhlushwa bese usebenzisa kuphela njengoba kuqondiswe. Xhumana nodokotela wezilwane ngaphambi kokwelapha noma yisiphi isilwane ngqo nganoma yisiphi isibulala-zinambuzane.
