What harm does sandstorm and dusty weather do to human body? How to protect it?

There are many kinds of health damage caused by sandstorms, which are harmful to human health. Skin, eyes, nose and lungs are the first places to contact sandstorms and suffer the most. The damage of skin, eyes, nose, throat and other direct contact parts are mainly irritation symptoms and allergic reactions, while the lung manifestations are more serious and extensive. Seven years ago, American health scientists first suggested that there was a link between fine pollution particles and lung disease and heart disease death. Australia's "Time" said that sandstorms caused by soil wind erosion are the chief culprit of asthma in 2 million people in the country. Facing the impact of sandstorm on health, it is very important to do self-protection. First of all, in terms of protection, the use of dust-proof dust filter masks can effectively reduce the dust inhaled into the body. Wear appropriate glasses to protect your eyes, wear dust-proof gloves, shoes and socks and clothes to protect your skin, wash your hands and face frequently before eating, reduce the chance of going out to contact with dust, and close doors and windows in time. Secondly, in terms of diet, the dry weather in spring, coupled with dust, makes the water on the skin surface easy to lose, leading to rough skin. At the same time, dust is easy to block after entering pores, which may lead to acne if it is not removed in time. People with allergies are also prone to various allergic dermatitis and rashes. Experts suggest that drinking plenty of water can replenish lost water in time and accelerate the discharge of various metabolic wastes and toxins in the body, which is very beneficial to skin care and general health. However, patients with kidney disease, especially those with renal insufficiency, should appropriately limit the intake of salt and water under the guidance of professional doctors.
