Use electric blankets with caution in winter.
Electric blanket is an ideal heating product for families in winter. But electric blankets are not suitable for everyone, and some people will have adverse reactions after using them.
When people use electric blankets, even if the insulation resistance is completely qualified, they will feel the voltage acting on the human body. Although this current is small, it is potentially dangerous to the elderly, the weak or the heart patients, infants and young children, and pregnant women sleeping on electric blankets may also lead to fetal malformation. These people can use hot water bottles or air conditioners to keep warm in winter, and it is best not to use electric blankets.
Stroke patients, especially the elderly, are prone to harm because their skin feels cold and hot slowly and the electric blanket is overheated.
When the electric blanket is turned on, it will produce a very low electromagnetic field, which will have some adverse effects on female endocrine and seriously lead to infertility.
Male testicles can only ensure sperm vitality at low temperature. The heat generated by electric blanket will have a bad effect on male seminal vesicle for a long time, which will reduce male sperm or make sperm vitality weak.
Children's physical vitality is relatively large. As the saying goes, "There are three pots of fire on their buttocks", and they are not afraid of cooling their beds. If they get used to the heat of electric blankets, they will reduce their resistance to cold, reduce their immunity and affect their growth and development. Not recommended. If you are really afraid of their cold, you can add a towel quilt to the quilt. The soft surface can reduce the cold feeling when the skin touches the quilt.
Sleeping on an electric blanket for a long time is actually uncomfortable. If the temperature is too high, it will reduce the quality of sleep and make you feel depressed after getting up the next day.
If the electric blanket is not well maintained for a long time, it may leak electricity (of course, only a few), so it is best not to use it when sleeping.
Of course, electric blanket also has its advantages.
It has a good protective effect on people with rheumatic pain and can reduce the chance of attack.
In addition, for the elderly or people with particularly weak constitution, electric blankets can also provide better care.
When using electric blankets in winter, please pay attention to the following items:
1. Electric blankets should not be in direct contact with human body. Cover it with a blanket or sheet. Don't use it folded, otherwise it will burn the insulation surface of the electric hot wire and cause a fire accident.
2. Don't put the electric blanket on metal or hard objects with sharp protrusions.
Be sure to cut off the power supply when the electric blanket is not in use to prevent accidents.
4. It is necessary to avoid repeated folding in the same position to prevent the heating wire from breaking due to folding and causing fire. If it is "not hot" due to long-term use, it should be sent to the manufacturer for repair.
5. The power-on time should not be too long. It is usually turned on before going to bed and turned off when falling asleep. In any case, you can't use it all night.
6. Those who regularly use electric blankets should appropriately increase the amount of drinking water.
