男子一觉醒来发现枕巾长“多肉”？紧急提醒：别用手摸！

近日，广东深圳的刘先生一觉醒来，发现枕巾长了“多肉”，捏爆后才知道是虫卵。

刘先生说，“问了AI，它跟我说这个应该是佛珠吊兰。我捏了捏发现不对劲啊！这是臭屁虫的虫卵，我就直接把枕巾扔掉了。”

A man in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, woke up recently to find what appeared to be tiny succulent buds scattered across his pillowcase — only to discover they were insect eggs after squeezing one.

此前，就有不少网友表示“绿色小颗粒”又来了！到底是什么东西如此吓人？

有腐蚀性

小心这些绿色虫卵！

其实，这些小颗粒是荔蝽（臭屁虫）的虫卵，这种虫子主要分布在福建、江西、广东一带。成虫产卵期从3月中旬持续至10月上旬，其中4、5月为产卵盛期。每只雌虫一生一般产卵5—10次，每次产卵14粒。

The eggs were identified as belonging to the lychee giant stink bug, a species commonly found in Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong. Adult females lay eggs from mid-March to early October, with peak activity in April and May. Each female typically lays five to 10 egg clusters during her lifetime, with around 14 eggs per cluster.

有趣的是，雌性荔蝽似乎有“强迫症”，其卵通常是14粒排列成块。

One distinctive feature of the species is that the female typically arranges her eggs in neat clusters of 14.

福建农林大学研究员刘长明介绍：“14粒是它的最大限度，荔蝽每次产卵数量不可能多于14粒。”所以，常见的卵块确实多为14粒。

荔蝽最有力的防身武器是它头部的腺体，能分泌喷射出恶臭的毒液，闻之令人作呕，所以它的别名又叫“臭屁虫”。

臭液本身还自带很强的腐蚀性，又含有组织胺等成分，很容易把人“烧伤”：

▌臭液接触到皮肤，可引起刺痛、红肿、瘙痒等刺激性症状。大概就像用刚切完辣椒的手碰了脸，不一会儿就会火辣辣地疼。

▌不小心溅到眼睛更麻烦，存在角膜溃疡甚至失明的危险。

沾了虫卵的衣服还能穿吗？

晾晒在阳台的衣物、毛巾质地柔软，潮湿度刚好，又带着淡淡芳香，很容易吸引荔蝽在上面产卵。

单纯的虫卵其实并不会对人造成什么伤害，也就是看起来恶心了点。

在收衣服时如果发现虫卵，不要用手直接碰触，可以用刷子或牙签把黏住的虫卵刷掉，之后再将衣物重新清洗干净。

While the eggs themselves pose no direct threat to humans, experts advise caution if they are found on clothing or bedding. If you discover egg clusters on fabric, avoid touching them directly with your hands. Instead, use a brush or toothpick to gently remove them, then wash the items thoroughly.

被臭液喷到了如何应对？

如果臭液接触到皮肤，可以用碱性肥皂清洗或者一天多次涂抹肥皂水以缓解症状，正常情况3—5天会慢慢痊愈。

如果症状持续恶化或者直接喷到眼睛，请立即到医院就诊。千万别自行滴眼药水或者抓挠伤口，以免酿成无法挽回的后果。

If the insect's defensive fluid comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with alkaline soap or soapy water. In most cases, any irritation should subside within three to five days.

However, if symptoms persist or worsen, or if the fluid gets into your eyes, seek medical attention immediately. Do not rub the affected eye or attempt self-treatment with over-the-counter eye drops, as doing so could make the injury worse.

不想被“喷”？做好这几件事！

▌别碰它：荔蝽很少主动招惹人，绝大部分人被“攻击”，是因为管不住手去拍打、碰触，使其受到惊吓而采取防御措施，导致被灼伤。

▌装纱窗：纱窗和纱门可以有效隔绝荔蝽入侵室内。

▌勤快点：晾晒在阳台的衣物、毛巾等容易吸引荔蝽产卵，干了就尽快收！

▌关灯：荔蝽喜光，建议阳台灯光随开随关，晚上记得拉上窗帘并关紧阳台门。
