Of the 4 million leukemia cases in the country, 3 million are from rural areas. Why are rural children more likely to suffer from leukemia?

There are too many types of junk snacks in rural areas, especially those harmful additives that are abused in various snacks. These snacks are sold in many canteens and in front of primary schools in rural areas. They are basically junk food without trademarks. This kind of food often has a lot of additives and has a strong taste. If you eat too much, harmful substances will naturally accumulate in the body. The increasing amount of toxins in the body can cause leukemia to break out.

The environment in rural areas is relatively poor. There are many kinds of poultry, livestock, rats, wild cats and wild dogs. Many rural children have been playful since they were young, so they naturally have a lot of contact with these cats and dogs, so they are easily exposed to these bacteria on them. In addition, pesticides are also used for farming in rural areas, and various medicine bottles are used. It is easy for children to come into contact with it. If the environment is relatively poor, children will inevitably come into contact with these harmful substances. Therefore, it is easy for children to suffer from leukemia.

Rural medical equipment is backward, and leukemia patients in some areas are discovered and treated late. Although the living standards in rural areas have indeed improved greatly compared with before, overall, the medical level is still far lower than that in cities. Rural people do not get regular physical examinations. Even if they feel uncomfortable, they still hold off as long as they can. It may take a few days to get better, so when a serious condition is discovered, it is often too late, and treatment may even be delayed. In addition, there are many left-behind children in rural areas, most of whom are taken care of by the elderly. They can only ensure that the children have enough food and clothing, but it is difficult to take care of other things. Therefore, many children are easily ignored when they are sick, and the leukemia becomes more and more serious over time.

The reason why rural children are so susceptible to leukemia is also related to the toxic gases they inhale during the decoration of their new houses. When new houses are decorated in rural areas, rural people generally get married faster. After a man and a woman settle down, they usually get married soon. Most of them are newly renovated houses. Materials are cheap in rural areas, but pollution is serious. Newlyweds generally have children soon, and then their children will inhale these toxic gases, so they are prone to leukemia.
