Does static electricity have any effect on pregnant women?

Static electricity can absorb a lot of floating dust in the air and the greater the induction charge, the more floating dust it absorbs. Floating dust often contains a variety of harmful substances and pathogens, which can irritate the skin, affect the skin's luster and freshness, or even cause rashes on the skin. More serious cases can also cause symptoms such as bronchial asthma and arrhythmia. In addition, static electricity can cause a decrease in the estrogen level in pregnant women, causing miscarriage or premature birth.

Is static electricity harmful to pregnant women?

When the weather is dry, we all have the experience of being shocked by static electricity. For expectant mothers, frequent exposure to static electricity can cause physical harm. Long-term static electricity can cause the pH value of the blood to rise, the secretion of calcium in the urine to increase, and the potassium level to decrease, which is very harmful to the health of pregnant women. Static electricity can cause the estrogen level in pregnant women to decrease, making them prone to fatigue, irritability and headaches. Static electricity induction can also cause dry skin, skin allergies, itching, erythema and pigmentation. In addition, static electricity absorbs a lot of floating dust, containing viruses, bacteria and other harmful substances, which often have a certain impact on pregnant women and fetuses after inhalation. Therefore, it is necessary to properly prevent static electricity induction in dry weather.

The impact of static electricity on babies

1. Make people feel hot. When the working voltage is too large for a moment, people will feel hot, irritable and have a headache. The baby's heart is very sensitive, they can not stand this kind of static electricity "punishment".

2. Long-term static induction that causes blood calcium loss can reduce the calcium content in blood cells and increase calcium secretion in urine. Static electricity induction can cause blood calcium loss.

3. Causes fungal infection of the skin. A lot of dust absorbed by static electricity contains various viruses, bacteria and harmful substances, which are most likely to cause fungal infection of the skin. It is easy to irritate the skin and affect the skin's luster and freshness. Some babies with skin allergies may also experience swelling, itching, inflammation and other symptoms.

Tips to prevent static induction

1. Maintain a certain humidity in the room

The best way to resist static electricity in the room is to increase the humidity of the air. To maintain relative humidity in the dry season, you can put a basin of water in the room to let the water evaporate naturally, or use a humidifier to adjust the humidity in the room; you can also put some flowers and plants in the room, or often spray water on the ground in the room; mop the floor with a wet mop, and wipe objects with wet water.

2. Wear more cotton socks, and it is best not to wear chemical fiber clothes

Fiber clothes, fabric home furnishings, blankets and fabric sofas are all special generators of static electricity! With their existence, it is difficult not to think about static electricity. Therefore, when we dress in daily life, we should try to choose pure cotton clothes, and do not choose chemical fiber products in home furniture, so as to greatly reduce the possibility of static electricity.

3. When watching TV series, keep a distance of more than 2 meters from the TV as much as possible

The static electricity generated by electrical appliances will be absorbed and stored by the body. When watching TV, try to keep a distance of more than 2 meters from the TV. After watching TV, you should wash your hands and face immediately to release the static electricity on the skin surface in the water.

4. Take a bath and change clothes frequently

Frequent bathing and changing clothes can effectively remove static electricity accumulated on the body surface.

5. Appropriately increase the intake of foods containing vitamins and acids and alkalinity

Foods such as carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and beans can increase the acidity of blood and maintain a normal electrolyte balance in the body.
