Let’s take a look at this rainstorm travel guide↓↓↓

In addition, after heavy rains and floods, various wastes will inevitably flow with the water, so the public should do a good job of personal hygiene and disease prevention.

1. Erysipelas and lymphangitis

Generally, after a heavy rain, when people wade through water, bacteria can easily enter through the skin pores and get into the lymphatic vessels, causing erysipelas and lymphangitis. This is more likely to happen if there are cuts on the feet!

2. Intertriginous rash and tinea pedis

After soaking in stagnant water for a long time, the skin's barrier function is destroyed, and fungi and bacteria have the opportunity to invade, which can easily cause skin diseases such as intertriginous eczema and tinea pedis.

People with a history of diabetes need to be more careful, leave the sewage environment in time, dry their feet, and prevent fungal and bacterial infections.

3. Cramps, arthritis, rheumatism

On rainy days, many people will put on sandals to go to get off work in the rain, and will rinse their feet with cold water to keep them clean. However, washing feet with cold water will suddenly close and block the pores, and coupled with muscle fatigue and increased tension, the legs and feet are prone to cramps, and may even induce arthritis and rheumatism.

If there are already breaks on the skin, apply antibacterial ointment to the breaks first. If possible, wear high rain boots or cover them with thick plastic bags. Never wade barefoot in water.

4. Dysentery, infectious diarrhea, etc.

During the rainy season, eating unclean food or drinking contaminated water may cause gastrointestinal diseases, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and even fever. Do not eat moldy and spoiled food, and do not directly use well water, river water, or lake water as drinking water. Use boiled water, bottled water, barreled water, and other safe water sources. Try to drink less cold drinks to avoid damaging the stomach and intestines and increasing the risk of gastrointestinal infectious diseases. When storing or processing food at home, be sure to separate raw and cooked food to prevent cross contamination.

While residents are raising their awareness of disease prevention and paying attention to food safety, they should also do a good job of cleaning and disinfecting their home environment. The National Health Commission reminds:

Hot and humid weather can easily breed mold, so keep the indoor and car environment clean;

Remove water or moisture sources that can cause fungus growth, and repair leaks indoors and outdoors;

Keep the indoor relative humidity below 60%;

Open the closet door as little as possible to prevent cotton, linen, silk, wool and other fabrics with strong moisture absorption from getting moldy;

To prevent mildew from forming on furniture at home, you should frequently use dry cotton cloth to remove dust and polish the furniture to avoid mildew spots caused by excessive humidity.
