Summer is a suitable season for playing in the water, but if you do not pay attention to self-protection in the process of playing in the water, you may get sick!

A 5-year-old child in Wuhan was infected with pinkeye when he returned from swimming. Moreover, due to cross-infection, all six members of the family got sick!

Children suffer from eye diseases when swimming

All six members of the family were beaten.

Mr. Zhao's 5-year-old son Xiang Xiang followed his grandparents to the swimming pool in the neighborhood last week. after getting up the next morning, Xiang Xiang kept rubbing his eyes with his hands.

Grandma found something was wrong and bought eye drops. After using eye drops, Xiangxiang's condition not only did not improve, but his eyes were red and swollen. Moreover, the child is not cured, grandparents also have red-eye symptoms one after another.

In order to avoid cross-infection, Mr. Zhao sent Xiangxiang to his grandparents' home overnight. Unexpectedly, his grandparents were hit one after another, and he and his wife also had photophobia, tingling, jealousy and other phenomena. Aware of the seriousness of the situation, Mr. Zhao took the whole family to the hospital.

Doctor: the swimming pool with high incidence in summer is the hardest hit area of infection.

After careful examination by the hospital doctor, it was confirmed that Mr. Zhao and his family were suffering from acute conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pinkeye disease".

According to the doctor, "pinkeye" is very contagious and has a high incidence in summer every year. Swimming pool is a high-risk place for "pinkeye" infection. And children are more likely to get sick because of their poor resistance.

Therefore, when swimming in the water, you should pay more attention to self-protection: wear sealed goggles to avoid direct contact with the water in the swimming pool, and it is best to drop one or two drops of antibiotics or eye drops before and after swimming.

Away from "pinkeye", prevention is the key. To maintain good personal hygiene, wash hands thoroughly before and after touching your eyes. Do not share towels or personal hygiene products with others, and do not come into contact with facial washing utensils, eye cosmetics, medicines, handkerchiefs and medical appliances used by patients.

During the popular period, try not to go to crowded public places as much as possible. In addition, do not be too alarmed when you get pinkeye, do not be a doctor yourself, and use your own medicine based on your past experience or the experience of people around you, which may delay the opportunity for treatment.

Once infected, patients with "pinkeye" should pay special attention to the fact that there are more secretions in the eyes during the disease, so it is also important to rely solely on drug treatment, careful care of the eyes and cleanliness. Do not return to kindergarten, school or work place before cure, avoid going to large public places, and strictly prohibit swimming in public swimming pools to prevent secondary infection and cross-infection.

The swimming pool hides the "disease crisis".

In addition to "pinkeye", there are actually many "disease-causing crises" lurking in the swimming pool.

Ophthalmopathy

In addition to acute conjunctivitis, excessive use of bleach in the swimming pool can also cause damage to the eyes, and the irritating effect of bleach can easily lead to redness in the eyes.

Ear inflammation

It is easy to get water into the ear when swimming, and dirty water stays in the ear will cause ear blockage, pus, etc., causing inflammation of the external auditory canal and middle ear, such as suppurative otitis media, acute otitis media, acute otitis media, and serious tympanic membrane perforation.

Digestive tract disease

There are also some digestive tract infectious diseases that "enter through the mouth" are also a health hazard in non-standard swimming pools, because people will inevitably choke on water when swimming. Bacillary dysentery, infectious diarrhea, and other germs will enter the human mouth and stomach with the water, which is at risk of disease.

Skin disease

The public should pay attention to the prevention of skin diseases when swimming, such as pus sores caused by bacterial infection, which can be transmitted as soon as they come into contact with fester; and fungal infections in the superficial layers of the skin, including tinea cruris, beriberi, gray fingernails, etc., are also easy to spread through slippers and towels; scabies and contagious molluscum are very easy to infect in the bath and sauna. In addition, if you swim outside, although you will feel more ventilated, but it is easy to suffer from solar dermatitis because of the sun.

Given the risks hidden in the pool,

When people choose a swimming place,

Be sure to pay more attention.

Teach you four ways to check the hygiene of the swimming pool

First of all, "wrong peak" swimming. Generally speaking, the swimming pool is divided into afternoon field, afternoon field, and evening field, of course, the morning field has the best water quality, not only the number of swimmers is few, the water quality is good, but also the cost is cheap; afternoon and evening games are generally the peak of passenger flow, "dumplings" swimming not only feel bad, but also cause water quality decline, sanitation is difficult to guarantee due to the overload of the swimming pool.

Secondly, remember to read the "three certificates and one book" after admission, that is, the health license, the health level certificate, the health certificate of employees and the report form of self-inspection of water quality on the same day. Among them, the water temperature in the bulletin board may only be related to the comfort of swimming, but the value of "residual chlorine" should be between 0.3 and 0.5, the value of "pH" should be between 6.8 and 8, and, of course, the pH is better between 7.2 and 8. In addition, try to choose a swimming pool with a high level of hygiene, such as A class.

Third, change your swimsuit and remember to see if the swimming pool has a forced foot-soaking pool and a forced shower water curtain. Be sure to enter the pool through the disinfection passageway composed of the two.

Fourth, when you get to the edge of the pool, you should "see and smell it". "look" is to see whether the water is crystal clear, generally requires the naked eye to see the swimming lane at the depth of 1 meter, but also to see if there are floating objects. "smell" is to hold the water to the nose, good pool water only light bleach taste, if it feels pungent, it may be chlorine residue, high ammonia value, easy to stimulate and damage the skin and human mucous membrane tissue. If swimmers are particularly sensitive to water quality, health supervisors suggest that they can purchase their own swimming pool residual chlorine detector, which can easily complete self-examination of water quality at the edge of the pool.

Pay attention to personal hygiene

1. When you go swimming, you should bring your own towels, slippers, bath towels and other personal belongings. Try not to use the public items provided by the swimming place.

2. Take a shower before swimming, wash off the sweat from the body, lest the urea in the sweat pollute the pool water, and enter the pool through foot immersion disinfection pool.

3, before entering the pool to appropriate activities, try not to sit on the poolside of the ground, especially girls sitting on it at will can easily cause fungal infection.

4. It is best to wear goggles and earplugs during swimming, and control the swimming time not to be too long.

5, after swimming, you should also rinse your mouth and take a bath in time. It is best to wipe the skin with some bath lotion, and then rinse it off to prevent the occurrence of skin diseases.
