After the beginning of autumn, there will still be short-term hot weather, commonly known as the "autumn tiger". During this period, although it has officially entered autumn, the weather is still hot in reality, and it is still necessary to pay attention to sun protection and heatstroke prevention. Understanding how to drink water scientifically, arrange daily routines reasonably, and choose appropriate sunscreen products... These seemingly simple knowledge can actually protect us in critical moments. Proper protection starts with scientific understanding. When facing high temperature weather, we first need to start with scientific understanding and understand which groups of people are more susceptible to the impact of high temperatures. The "Guidelines for Public Health Protection against High Temperature Heatwaves" previously released by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention clearly state that the key groups for health protection against high temperature heatwaves include sensitive populations such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly; Patients with chronic basic diseases, such as circulatory diseases, respiratory diseases, mental and behavioral disorders, kidney diseases and diabetes; Outdoor workers, such as farmers, construction workers, sanitation workers, couriers, etc. Heatstroke is a common health problem in hot weather. Experts say that heatstroke is divided into prodromal heatstroke, mild heatstroke, and severe heatstroke. Threatened heatstroke usually manifests as symptoms such as dizziness, brain swelling, nausea, fatigue, sweating, and thirst. Mild heatstroke is characterized by worsening of the above symptoms, accompanied by redness, excessive sweating, obvious fever, muscle spasms, and a temperature rise of over 38 ℃. Severe heatstroke, medically known as "heat stroke", can be regarded as the "number one killer" in high-temperature environments. Patients may experience high fever exceeding 40 ℃, even up to 42 ℃, as well as symptoms such as consciousness disorders, limb twitching, and decreased blood pressure. If left untreated, it can ultimately lead to death, with a mortality rate as high as 70% to 80%. The National Health Commission's "Occupational Health Risk Warning for High Temperature Operations and High Temperature Weather Operations" provides clear guidance on how to deal with heatstroke. When there are signs of heatstroke, the following measures should be taken: immediately leave the high-temperature environment, rest in a ventilated and cool place, and lie flat. Supplement cool drinks containing salt or electrolytes and treat accordingly, and closely observe. If it develops into heat cramps, it is necessary to correct the imbalance of water and electrolytes and receive targeted treatment. For cases of heat exhaustion, physical cooling and/or medication cooling should be administered, with attention paid to monitoring body temperature, correcting electrolyte imbalances, expanding blood volume, and preventing shock. Once heatstroke (including sunstroke) occurs, it is necessary to quickly lower body temperature, continuously monitor body temperature, protect important organ function, provide respiratory and circulatory support, improve microcirculation, correct coagulation dysfunction, and provide early blood purification treatment for patients with liver and kidney failure and rhabdomyolysis. Faced with the continuous high temperatures of the scorching summer, our bodies are undergoing a silent 'health defense battle'. In addition to heatstroke, summer is also a high incidence season for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Experts say that temperature changes are the "enemy" of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Research shows that under high temperatures above 35 ℃, the mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will significantly increase. Experts say that in hot weather, the blood vessels on the human body's surface dilate and dissipate heat, causing blood to concentrate on the surface, which can easily lead to a decrease in blood supply to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia. At the same time, the human body sweats a lot, and the blood becomes thick and prone to forming blood clots. The excitability of the ear sympathetic nervous system increases, and conditions such as increased heart rate can also occur, which are not conducive to heart health. Many people go to food stalls to eat barbecue and drink cold beer on summer evenings, often staying up until late at night with irregular sleep patterns. This unhealthy lifestyle habit can also increase the burden on the heart. Be wary of "air conditioning sickness". In hot weather, air conditioning has become a powerful tool for us to escape the heat. However, excessive reliance on air conditioning can also lead to a series of health problems, such as air conditioning sickness. Especially for the elderly and children, they are more susceptible to the effects of air conditioning sickness. Therefore, when using air conditioning, it is not advisable to turn it on or blow it excessively. Some elderly people stay at home for a long time and are reluctant to turn on the air conditioning, or are afraid to use it due to rheumatism and pain. In summer, the indoor heat is stuffy, poorly ventilated, and the continuous high temperature weather can easily lead to classic heat stroke Experts remind that heatstroke is one of the important emergencies for pre hospital emergency treatment in summer, and heat stroke is prone to develop into multiple organ dysfunction. Early comprehensive treatment such as timely cooling is of great significance. According to experts, there has been a significant increase in the number of children seeking medical attention for symptoms of "air conditioning disease" since August. If children stay in a low-temperature environment for a long time and the indoor air is not well ventilated, it can easily lead to respiratory infections and allergic diseases. In addition, with reduced outdoor activities, consuming more cold food, it is also prone to symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In order to reduce the occurrence of "air conditioning diseases", parents should first attach great importance to pollution such as dust in their homes, and open windows for ventilation in the morning and evening. The air conditioning temperature is generally between 26 ℃ and 28 ℃. It is best to thoroughly clean the air conditioner every two weeks to one month. Children with symptoms of "air conditioning disease" should be treated in a timely manner, and their diet should also be light. They should drink more summer food such as barley Congee and mung bean soup. Proper use of sunscreen "spray" In summer, sunscreen cosmetics have become a product frequently used by consumers in their daily life. Among them, sunscreen "spray" is favored by consumers because of its convenient use. However, improper use of sunscreen "spray" also has certain safety risks. The Food and Drug Administration reminds that improper use of sunscreen "spray" cosmetics has two main safety risks: one is inhalation risk. When consumers use sunscreen "spray" cosmetics on their skin, they may unintentionally inhale the spray droplets. These droplets may contain sunscreen, volatile organic compounds, spices, preservatives and other cosmetics raw materials. When used intensively in a narrow confined space, a large amount of them will be inhaled in a short time, which may lead to health risks. Especially for children with allergic constitution who are highly sensitive to the airway, they are likely to induce severe cough or wheezing attacks. The second is the risk of flammability and explosiveness. Due to the fact that the propellant used in aerosol products may be flammable substances such as butane and propane, and is in a liquefied high-pressure state, it is prone to explosion accidents when exposed to a fire source. Therefore, attention should be paid to fire and explosion prevention when using and storing sunscreen "spray" cosmetics. How to correctly use sunscreen "spray" cosmetics, first, try to avoid breathing "spray". Sunscreen "spray" cosmetics should be used in places with air circulation, not in narrow and confined spaces such as cars and toilets. When spraying, be careful to avoid the nose, mouth, and eyes, and try to avoid inhalation as much as possible. If a lot of "spray" cosmetics are inhaled, causing nasal pain, throat discomfort, cough, wheezing, chest tightness, etc., you should first go to the air circulation space in time, and clean the cosmetics to avoid further contact. If there are symptoms of fever, or if symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness worsen, seek medical attention immediately. Second, pay attention to storing sunscreen "spray" cosmetics in a cool, dry and ventilated environment to avoid direct sunlight; When using, it should be kept away from sources of fire, heat, static electricity, impact, etc., to avoid puncturing or putting the product or used empty cans into fire. Third, avoid using sunscreen "spray" cosmetics on wounds, redness, swelling, eczema and other abnormal parts of the skin. Here, we would also like to remind parents and friends that children are not recommended to use sunscreen "spray" cosmetics, especially young children and children with allergic constitution. After the beginning of autumn: pay equal attention to food and nutrition, and maintain good health. After the beginning of autumn, there will still be short-term high temperature weather, commonly known as the "autumn tiger", and people are prone to symptoms such as limb weakness. Experts suggest that during the period from Liqiu to Autumnal Equinox, most areas still experience hot temperatures, and the above symptoms are likely a manifestation of dampness trapping the spleen. It is advisable to recuperate by combining food and diet. You can cook Tonic Diet Congee. According to your personal taste, add lotus seeds, yams, job's tears, poria cocos, etc. in Congee. In addition, during the transition between summer and autumn, it is easy to cause respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza. Experts suggest that the public should establish the concept of "everyone is the first person responsible for their own health", maintain good personal hygiene habits, develop a healthy lifestyle, enhance physical fitness, and improve physical resistance. Adjust clothing accordingly based on weather changes. Actively getting vaccinated against influenza, pneumonia, etc., especially for key populations such as the elderly, patients with chronic underlying diseases, and children, can effectively reduce the risk of respiratory infectious disease infection and severe illness. Consciously monitor your own health. If you experience symptoms of respiratory infections such as fever, runny nose, sore throat, etc., try to rest at home and seek medical attention promptly depending on the situation. (New Society)
