As the Spring Festival approaches, every family is busy cleaning up.
The dust raised looks lifeless. In fact, there are some very annoying small creatures hidden in it, such as dust mites.
Friends who are troubled by allergies must be familiar with this small creature.
Allergic symptoms caused by them can make people unable to sleep at night, asthma, sneezing all night, large papules and a lot of nasal mucus tears are very disturbing.
Does dust mites do what harm to human body?
Dust mite is one of the mites that are most closely related to human beings in the large mite family. It is an important allergen for human allergy. Whether it is the body, secretion or excrement of dust mite, it can cause strong allergic reaction of allergic patients.
The most common allergic reactions include dust mite asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic dermatitis.
80% of these allergic reactions are related to dust mites.
They live in almost every corner of our room, such as pillows, bedding, sofas, and under the bed, the dead corners of the room, hiding a large number of dust mites, magazines, newspaper piles, old bookshelves are also good places for them to hide.
At ordinary times, dandruff, flour in food, even powdery substances such as fungi that fall off our bodies can become their food.
Radical treatment of dust mite allergy is very difficult and may require up to 1 to 2 years of injection for desensitization treatment.
Therefore, for patients whose allergy is not serious, the most recommended method is to reduce contact with dust mites, or dust mite bodies, excreta, etc. in daily life.
Patients should seek medical treatment in time after allergic reactions occur. Under the guidance of doctors, they can take orally antiallergic drugs such as loratadine and chlorpheniramine. Asthma patients can also use antiasthmatic sprays to relieve symptoms.
Some antiallergic drugs are over-the-counter drugs. Dr. Clove has the function of [medication consultation]. Welcome to inquire online and learn more.
How to clean up to effectively prevent mites?
Mites do not like dry and direct sunlight environment and need food residues, dandruff, dust, etc. as food. Therefore, attention should be paid to clean environment, more windows should be opened for ventilation, and indoor air circulation and dryness should be maintained.
During the cleaning process, the following parts must not be forgotten:
-
Bedding, bed sheets and pillow towels hidden in the wardrobe from summer must be washed and dried before use.
-
Towels, dry hair towels, bath towels and bathrobes for bathing are necessary to be washed and dried every week.
-
Under the bed, curtains and their backs, bookshelves, storerooms, high countertops and other dead corners that are easy to accumulate dust, carefully wipe them with wet rags, pay attention to prevent dust from being lifted as much as possible, and the curtains should be washed and hung again.
-
There are piles of old books, newspapers and magazines in the dark, dusted off, spread out and basked in the balcony all afternoon.
In addition, if there are dust mite allergy patients in the home, it is best not to cover blankets on the bed, and it is best not to place tapestries and other objects that are easy to accumulate dust on the wall. If allergic people have to participate in cleaning, they must wear dust masks.
Are these methods of mite removal useful?
Is there a simple and easy-to-use what?
Businessmen have long been keenly aware of the public’s fear and have developed a series of products. There have been experiments conducted by curious people, and the results do not seem as magical as advertised.
In addition, because the mite removal method for killing mites cannot completely remove mite carcasses or excreta, the vast majority of mite control methods at present cannot fundamentally eliminate the threat of dust mites to people with severe allergy.
Dr. Clove is here to give you a reminder. After reading the following contents, consider whether to buy the following products.
-
High Efficiency Air Purification Vacuum Cleaner (HEPA)
Studies in the home environment have found that such vacuum cleaners, like old vacuum cleaners, raise dust and make people more susceptible to allergies. Dust collection is necessary, but it should not be done in the presence of allergic patients. Even advanced HEPA technology cannot help dust mite allergic what-in other words, ordinary vacuum cleaners are enough.
-
Dehumidifier
The suitable humidity condition for human body is generally 30% ~ 50%. Controlling indoor humidity at this level through dehumidifier can effectively reduce mite breeding. However, I’m afraid there is no need to buy this in some already dry areas.
-
Mite-removing laundry detergent
As a matter of fact, laundry and drying can achieve the effect of “mite removal”. In fact, we don’t need to purchase laundry detergent with “mite removal” function.
-
Mite-removing lamp
There is evidence that UV-C can effectively kill mite eggs, but there is no clear research to support the mite removal effect described in the advertisement. In addition, it is either purple light or ultraviolet light. If the radiation intensity is not enough, it is better to take it to the sun.
-
Mite removal spray
This seems to be more convenient than washing or drying. There is also evidence that mites in bedding can die 80% in half an hour when they are enclosed in 0.1% ~ 0.2% eucalyptus oil spray environment. However, this does not mean that all [mite removal spray] can kill mites. Moreover, it must be remembered that the difference between experimental conditions and real environment is never a fraction.
Regular cleaning can not only reduce indoor mites, but also reduce the potential threat of mold and other small insects to the body.
A clean and tidy living environment can bring physical and mental health.
The old people in the family are getting older and it is not convenient to do hygiene. As children, we should help them consciously and regularly.
Don’t play with your mobile phone, hurry into the cleaning mobilized by the whole family!
