Tomcat a.k.a Rove beetle, skirt n blouse, paapa, etc, are dangerous Insects Species that are similar to ants from the appearance. These insects that have scientific name Paederus riparius are often called Tomcat and seem like a harmless insect.
Tomcat has color red and black on its body. Although it seems like ants, but this insect could cause wound when we have physical contact with it. The Tomcat body size is about 7-8 mm. Tomcat has paederin toxins that can causes burns on human skin.



Tomcat toxin concentration is 12 times more venomous than cobra venom, but only when it gets into your blood stream. These toxins can last even eight years after the insect dies. This beetle like the light at night, so many victims are motorcyclists, or those who are in homes with bright light or those who camping near the forest.

Generally, Tomcat insect occur throughout the year but peaked in July-September which has a climate humidity. The peoples that had physical contact with Tomcat will have burns in their skin.

How the toxin actually works

The Tomcat releases the toxin on anything it touches, especially human skin. Direct contact is not needed to experience skin discomfort or irritation however as the toxin can be left behind on your towels, furniture or other things in your house. Secondhand contact might not cause the same level of irritation as direct contact but it is still wise to be precautious especially if you have seen them hanging around your house as of late.


Preventing contact and irritation if you do come in contact with one

This first rule of the Tomcat is much different than almost any other insect out there. DON’T SQUASH IT! No matter how much you hate creepy crawly insects, try to resist the urge to smash it and grind it. You might end up with less irritation rubbing that sambal directly on your skin. Even crushing the insect with shoes or sandals on is not a great idea because it can spread the toxin into the air and will definitely be left behind on your shoe.

Your best bet is to keep some insect repellent around your house and if you come into contact with one, spray it until it isn’t moving anymore. Then you can pick it with some tools, keeping the insect far away from your skin. Disposing of it in the toilet is your best bet, just like you would with a tick. After that, thoroughly wash your hands and other places or materials that came in contact with the Tomcat.

This beetle is attracted to light, so you should avoid being too close to the light bulbs or minimize the use of light near the door and windows.

Use mosquito nets, aerosol spray or a mixture of organic pesticides from laos, neem leaves, and lemongrass to kill the incoming beetles.

If there Tomcat that already landed on the skin, do not kill it in the body, but blow until it left.

How to cure the wound because of Tomcat

If the skin is in contact with these insects, burning sensation will arises then your skin will turn into red followed by the appearance of pus in the center of the wound in few days.

Immediately wash the infected area with soap and water. If skin reaction occurs, wash with mild antiseptic pemanganate diluted potassium (Kmn04) such as hydrocortisone 1% and weak steroid creams and antibiotics such as neomycin sulfate betametasone 5%.

Do not scratch wounds, because the venom can even move to another part of the skin over the wound fluid. However, if the injury occurs in the eye area and mucous membranes, you should immediately see a doctor. With treatment, the wound will usually be better within 10 days to three weeks until the scars is gone. However, the wound can’t be gone if it involves dermis. Victims are also advised to avoid the sun so it will not cause inflammation that causes dark marks on skin.

. Not a scam. Don't fall prey to 'pics' as millions of pics can be gotten online to deceive people. If u r interested - I advise you not to part with your money until you inspect and do background checks. How can I scam you with just one Nigerian used car? Yes there are scammers but I am not one of them.

Story for the gods. Show us the pictures jare. What if the car has only three tires and no engine?

Automedics use Lubex for their customers, they recommend it , sell it and also available on konga
http://automedicsafrica.com/engine-oil/

I don't know who automedics are and I don't know why I should take their recommendations.
We need info on the specifications of the oil and info on the manufacturer. I saw something on Lubex, but they never mentioned anything about this particular product. So you can understand my skepticism.

hitleraldof:

GAZZUZZ:
I cannot find any info online about it.

And that's my problem with it. If it's not known out there, then it might as well be a palm oil produced by my grandmother in the village. I think I'll go with milemaster or coastal though they are semi synthetic.

What exactly is the disadvantages of using semi synthetic oil?

Please give us the info on Lubex. I can't find much about it on the net. It says synthetic, but the container and label looks weird. Please enlighten us. Would you advise its use?

Zenayia:
Good evening. First of all, take note, d matter below has nothing to do with me, i had to bring it out here for a friend's sake.

So Ryana and her boyfriend have been sexually active these past weeks. On the 25th of June 2015, her guy released in her and she took Postinor 2 the same day to remedy the situation, but then, on the 27th the same accident occurred and in fear she took another dosage.

Still, on the 30th the same thing happened again and she refused to take the medication because she felt that:

a. She had taken enough of it, and

b. She was on her safe period (her menstruation was to start on the 2nd of this month).

Its 17th and she is yet to see her menses. She is worried.

Now her questions are these:
1. Is she pregnant?

2. Will the back to back usage of Postinor 2 affect her womb?

3. Is it possible that the postinor messed up her cycle (explaining why she is yet to see her menses)

Please matured comments are needed here.

CC: Lalasticlala

1. Why didn't she think of pregnancy when she was straffing the dude without condom?
2 why didn't she think of her womb when she was popping postinor like candy?
3. Asking me questions after messing up won't help you, cos if you ask me, na who I go ask?

Make him kukuma enter back into her mother's womb. Anu mpama.

You love what you see?

germainediva:
.......... is cheating so important that you dam all consequences .me tot its stressful,spritually grave,morally wrong,biologically dreadful.......physically,mentally and financially draining. What do you really gain? Just need a sincere answer.

Here you are pouring out ur bitter emotions like a baby who was denied candy when there is a very high possibility that it's your fault that he is cheating.
A man sees and falls in love with a slim chic in hot jeans weighing 56kg, barely two years after marriage, what he has is a fat woman in wrappers weighing 92kg who is only concerned with her kids.
He is going out to look for the beautiful lady he got married to, not the woman you've become.
Every man needs a mother for his kids but the first reason he got to you is because he needs a wife. He has kept you as the mother of his kids which is what you have chosen to restrict yourself to, and he has gone to look for that wife he has always wanted.

So deal with it and stop whining.

Should I love vjays?

I never said your love for dicks is abnormal.

powerfulsettingz:
So will it be wise if I ask her the motive behind her move?

Don't ask anything. Forget it ever happened. She is your boss, if she needs sex from you, she will make it more obvious than sticking a condom in ur pocket.

powerfulsettingz:
My female boss, yesterday while we were about leaving the office drop a condom in my pocket together with the flash drive she borrowed from me 2days ago, then smile and leave me standing there, thou we weren't flirting with each other, am just wondering what could have prompt her so much. Don't knw what she meant by that.

It might just be a friendly boss who wants you to play safe. For the sake of your job, just take it as that. It's not common in our society for females to make sexual advances at guys esp when the guy is a junior. So better safe than sorry and better jew man than a jobless man.

snowDiva:
Picture...or I don't believe it

It seems you love dick so much.

Twaci:

My annoyance right now is not with the dude that started this thread, but with the big fools that believed it. You all need 36 strokes of koboko

bosco9:

You definitely can, but I don't know what the billing will be like. I'm currently using it on my z10 and the billing is not too bad.
