Summer, beloved for many times of the year, carries risks for health, which should be treated with due attention. This is not only overheating, burns and heat strokes, but also a surge of some diseases directly related to weather conditions prevailing in the hot season.
Asthma
Summer can be dangerous for children and adults suffering from asthma. Increased air pollution, pollen from flowering plants, atmospheric dust, high humidity or the use of air conditioners without proper service provoke attacks of this disease.
Gastroenteritis
Perhaps the most common disease in the summer. High temperatures contribute to the propagation of microbes in food, both raw and prepared. Infection occurs when microbes enter the intestines through the mouth.
Otitis
Inflammation in the outer auditory passage, that is, in the area from the outer part of the ear to the eardrum, accompanied by edema and redness. A long -term stay in water makes an external auditory passage vulnerable to inflammation, since it creates a wet environment where bacteria multiply. Frequent bathing increase the risk of this disease in adults and children.
Urinal infection
Inflammation caused by pathogenic microorganisms that affect the bladder, urethra and kidneys. Unprotected sexual intercourse, water pollution, non -compliance with hygiene rules are some of the causes that can cause infection.
Thermal blow
It occurs when the body suffers from prolonged and intense exposure to heat and loses the ability to cool. People who have certain diseases that reduce the body's ability to sweating (scleroderma, cystic fibrosis) can be subjected to greater risk of thermal blow.
Sunburn
Damage to the skin caused by excessive stay in the sun and the action of ultraviolet radiation of class B. Symptoms of sunburn vary depending on the type of skin, the duration of a person’s stay in the sun, taken protective measures. Treat sunburn, applying cold compresses and constantly moisturizing the skin.
Fungal infections
Another disease that is often found in the summer remains fungal infections on the soles of the legs and between the fingers. They are caused by pathogenic microorganisms that develop as soon as they find themselves in suitable conditions (increased temperature and humidity). To reduce the risk of infection, avoid wearing closed shoes and barefoot walking.
