what will u say about CHARLIE???

what a morning...just got up and found this blog talk about roove beetle...aka charlie..[source]
"doc...i think charlie bite me..so painful, its started to nanah2..."
"who's charlie?" the doc will asked..
"insect la doc"
"erkkk...nevermind..i will give u steroid cream and painkiller instead..for u ok..no worries"

situation: doctor nowadays never knew about this insect...i think its a new insect that bite human...
sorry not bite..but spread they 12 times more powerful than COBRA venom to skin...
which can lead conjunctivitis and dermatitis..what is that?
ok...non-medical personnel term..
conjunctivitis =swollen eyes..most worried..can lead to blindness..carefull
dermatitis = inflammation of skin.....redness,painfull sometimes can lead to pus (nanah) like lesion
in this case...the pus will appear 
and will coz scar within a month....
this creature habitats usually in paddy fields and ladang kelapa sawit...
so for my friends in Bandung..who lives besides the paddy hill (padi huma)..just carefull..close every windows or lubang2...during "winterlike season" hahhaha
characteristic is just like this:

"With there long, dark, flat bodies, this beetle resemble an earwig.  They are 1/8 to 1/2 inch long, slender, straight bodied with clubbed antennae, and curved mouthparts.  They are brown or black and often shiny, and are winged or wingless"
scary huh???
what will u do when u encounter them??
i got keratan akhbar form The Star...
just blow it...puffff
dont pinch it..the venom will directly spread to ur skin...
and make sure do universal precaution after that...
wash it with soap..
haha
in some place ..they called it as semut kayap (herpes zoosterlike lesion)
yup...just asked people who had it...
really like herpes-zooster-like-lesion.....haha

to whom it may concern...or any medical graduate out there..and also me...
lets find this solution....in microbiology studdies...
there's only few research about this beetle...
quite interesting though...woooho....

p/s: charlie is just only normal beetle...i dont know why they suddenly attack us??think...global warming??global invasion maybe....
