Ten health tips for heavy rainfall.

The external environmental factors in summer are conducive to the reproduction and spread of pathogenic microorganisms of intestinal infectious diseases, so personal and family hygiene is very necessary.

Wash your hands when you come out.

Use soap or hand sanitizer and wash your hands with running water.

Drinking water is both hygienic and safe.

Drink boiled water, bottled water, not raw water. It is forbidden to drink colored, odorous (except the odor of disinfectant such as residual chlorine or ozone) and turbid water.

Food hygiene and pollution prevention

At present, the climate is humid and the temperature is high. Bacteria and molds are easy to breed, and food is easy to be contaminated by these microorganisms. Therefore, rice and vegetables should be cleaned as soon as possible on the same day, and leftovers should be refrigerated and heated thoroughly before eating.

Don't wash fruits and vegetables in the rain.

If the supply of fresh ingredients cannot be guaranteed for the time being, it is recommended to eat qualified packaged food.

Clean up the accumulated water at home in time.

Kitchen utensils and tableware should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before use in the rain. The simple disinfection method is boiling. After cleaning, the tableware can be completely soaked in water and heated to the boiling point, and kept for 15 minutes to achieve the purpose of disinfection.

Don't eat all kinds of food.

Contaminated food is inedible;

Do not eat moldy food;

Fruit that has not been washed is not edible;

Animals with unknown causes of death do not eat;

Wild mushrooms are inedible;

Do not eat cold food.

Skin soaked by rain needs cleaning.

Because the skin is likely to come into contact with rain in rainstorm weather, the parts soaked by rain should be cleaned with clear water in time to avoid causing various skin inflammations.

Clean up the external environment in time

Clean up the rainwater and garbage around the bedroom in time to reduce mosquito breeding and prevent mosquito breeding.

Protect water resources in rainy days.

Clean up pollution sources such as sludge, garbage, animal manure and dead animals around and upstream of the water source in time, especially do a good job in sanitary work in key links such as toilets.

Increase or decrease clothes to prevent colds.

During the flood season, we should pay close attention to the health of ourselves and our families, eat regularly, avoid overwork, pay attention to the weather changes at any time, increase or decrease clothes in time to prevent colds. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately.

It is the responsibility and obligation of each of us to report to the local health department in time once any unit or individual finds any abnormality in drinking water.

As long as we in Qi Xin make concerted efforts, take positive actions, start from me and start from now on, raise awareness of disease prevention, develop good hygiene habits, ensure good health and spend the flood season in Beijing safely.
