Document Summary
Chapter 11- fear of insects: harris poll in 1999 says that people are afraid of a lot of things. Most people were scared of snakes and of heights. If we learn how to avoid harmful things, it could increase our capacity to survive and reproduce. It isn"t schizophrenia: some people are afraid of being stung, which if you are allergic to the venom, this can actually save you. Ivermectin: pesticide that is used to treat fleas in dogs and intestinal worms in horses. If the patient goes to a public health clinic, they may stop self-medications or pesticide treatments: can"t do much for the patient with dp. both the clinician and the entomologist should. It helps a lot if the family is there to discuss all the information and encourage reality- based understandings. If no one is addressing the dp, then it probably won"t go away on it"s own.
