Wash your hands frequently during the epidemic. At present, there is no effective drug treatment. Only washing hands frequently and wearing masks are effective magic weapons to reduce COVID-19 infection. However, frequent hand washing can also bring some problems, so frequent hand washing is very important during the epidemic. Everyone must pay attention!
Wash your hands frequently during the epidemic 1 In fact, people should wash their hands frequently, mainly because novel coronavirus is highly contagious. It is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, such as droplets.
Because the nucleic acid of the pathogen is single-stranded RNA, it can grow in primary cells of human kidney, intestine and lung, and the pathogenicity of coronavirus can be enhanced after blind transmission.
Novel coronavirus is sensitive to ether, chloroform, medical alcohol (75%) and ultraviolet rays, and can eliminate viruses on the surface.
We live in a world full of bacteria and viruses. In our daily life, if a patient infected with virus or bacteria sneezes or coughs, droplets will be adsorbed on doorknobs, bus railings, elevator buttons and other objects, which will easily make others come into contact with these objects unintentionally, thus causing hands to be polluted.
And if we don't pay attention to infect our hands with viruses or other bacteria, and don't clean them with cleaning products in time, if we touch our eyes, nose or mouth with dirty hands at this time, it will easily lead to the problem of virus infection.
We in China often say that diseases enter through the mouth, but in fact they do not enter through the mouth, but through the hands. After all, our hands are the organs that have the most contact with the outside world. Compared with breathing and inhaling, our hands are more likely to be exposed to harmful germs. Therefore, hand washing is also a great way to cut off virus infection and reduce the possibility of infection.
What is the correct way to wash your hands?
Step 1: Let your hands be fully wet under running water.
Step 2: Take a proper amount of hand sanitizer or soap and spread it evenly on the whole palm, back of hand, fingers and fingers.
Step 3: Rub your hands carefully for at least 15 seconds, as follows:
(1) palms of hands are opposite, fingers are folded and rubbed together;
(2) The palms rub and exchange with each other along the direction of fingers;
(3) palms are opposite, hands are crossed, and fingers are rubbed together;
(4) Bend fingers to make knuckles rotate, rub and exchange in each other's palm;
(5) Hold the thumb of the left hand with the right hand and rotate and knead for exchange;
(6) Put the five fingertips together in the palm of the opponent's hand, rotate, knead and exchange.
(7) Wash your hands thoroughly under running water and dry them with paper towels.
It should be noted that after mastering the correct way to wash your hands, you must pay attention to washing your hands regularly in your daily life, whether before and after meals or before and after defecation. If there is no water supply, we should also pay attention to regular disinfection with alcohol spray and cleaning with products such as hand sanitizer.
Wash your hands frequently in epidemic period II. Wash your hands frequently during the epidemic, and you can't ignore two problems at the same time.
Because the outermost layer of skin is stratum corneum, its surface is covered with a layer of sebum film. The barrier composed of sebum membrane, stratum corneum keratin and intercellular lipid is the protective wall of skin. After frequent disinfection with facial cleanser, the sebum membrane barrier of the skin will be damaged to a certain extent and become fragile. Without timely and correct care and moisturizing, it is easy to cause skin damage. Therefore, the way to prevent chapped skin is to pay attention to skin care and moisturizing.
1. In a healthy state: choose a mixture containing different proportions of water, oil and emulsifier as a moisturizing agent according to different skin types;
① Dry skin: choose emulsion or cream with high content of oil and emulsifier;
2 oily skin: choose refreshing emulsion and cream containing a small amount of oil or emulsifier.
③ Mixed skin: The main manifestations are dry cheeks and exuberant oil secretion, so different humectants should be selected for external use.
2. Sick state: In addition to the topical drugs used in routine treatment, skin moisturizers should also be applied to the damaged skin barrier. Especially the front-line medical staff, because of the need to use protective equipment for a long time, their skin is often dry. It is recommended to apply cream or emulsion with long moisturizing time and no irritation, such as vitamin E cream, sheep oil, vaseline, hand cream and moisturizer containing urea or ceramide.
The second problem is that skin injuries include allergies, soaking, crushing injuries, and contact with commonly used disinfectants such as 75% ethanol, chlorine-containing disinfectants, rubber gloves, etc. , and most of the local skin is red, swollen and itchy. In severe cases, papules, blisters, even erosion and collapse, secondary infection, and very few can cause systemic allergic reactions. If you wear these rubber products continuously, the skin will be wet for a long time due to poor air permeability, and it will be soaked, showing local skin softening, whitening, wrinkling and peeling. Wearing a mask for a long time will also cause crushing injuries to the bridge of the nose, cheeks and behind the ears.
Principles of dealing with skin allergy:
1. First stop using suspicious disinfectants and replace them with other products that are not allergic.
2. If the rash is mild, you can get better after stopping using it for 3-5 days without special treatment.
3. If the rash is serious and the itching is obvious, you can take the second generation antihistamines orally and externally use moderate-intensity and powerful glucocorticoids such as mometasone furoate and halometasone cream. To prevent soaking and crushing injury, it is mainly to choose suitable protective articles, which should not be worn for too long, and emollients can be applied locally before wearing.
Wash your hands frequently during the epidemic. Wash your hands frequently during epidemic prevention and control. However, many people ignore this detail!
Hand washing procedures should be standardized-
Step 1: Wet your hands under running water;
Step 2: Take a proper amount of hand sanitizer or soap and spread it evenly on the whole palm, back of hand, fingers and fingers.
Step 3: Knead carefully for at least 20 seconds in the order of "inside-outside-clip-bow-big-stand-wrist";
Step 4: Wash your hands thoroughly under running water;
Step 5: Rinse the tap with clean water before turning it off.
The last step mentioned just now: rinse with clean water before turning off the tap, which is often overlooked. In some public places, there may be the risk of cross-infection after the traditional non-inductive faucet is touched by many people. So, when washing your hands, don't forget to clean the faucet switch.
Of course, when it is inconvenient to wash your hands when you go out, you can also carry "hands-free disinfectant" with you to keep your hands clean.
In addition, go to a regular supermarket or market to buy cold chain food, and try to avoid direct contact with your hands. Disposable gloves and masks are recommended. When handling and storing food, always follow the principle of separating raw and cooked food; Wash your hands in time after touching fresh ingredients. Do not wash your hands or touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Meat, eggs and seafood must be thoroughly cooked.
