How do people protect and deal with emergencies in sandstorm weather?

(1) Drink more water.

In the season with frequent sandstorms, the weather is generally dry, and with dust, the moisture on the skin surface is easily lost, resulting in rough skin; Dust is easy to block after entering pores, and may grow acne if it is not removed in time; People with allergies are also prone to various allergic dermatitis and rashes. Drinking plenty of water can replenish lost water in time and accelerate the discharge of various metabolic wastes in the body, which is very beneficial to skin care and general health. It is best to have a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables this season.

(2) Stay away from dust

Sandstorms do harm to people's skin, ears, nose and lungs, so people should not underestimate them. In particular, the elderly, infants and patients with respiratory allergic diseases with poor resistance should stay indoors, close doors and windows, and stay away from dust as much as possible. Once you find that you are obviously unwell with cough, expectoration, shortness of breath, paroxysmal wheezing and chest pain, you should go to the hospital immediately.

(3) Pay attention to self-protection

If you have to do outdoor activities because of professional needs, try not to ride a bike. It is best to use a dust-proof and dust-filtering mask. You can also use wet towels and scarves to protect your eyes, mouth and nose. Other protective measures include wearing appropriate glasses, dust-proof gloves, shoes and socks, clothes and washing hands and faces frequently. When traveling, we must enhance our awareness of safety protection. Don't walk near the side of the building, and don't walk under the erected construction frame to avoid accidental injury. There are more traffic accidents in dusty weather than usual, so drivers and pedestrians should enhance their awareness of traffic safety; Before the dust storm receded, construction workers, cleaners, etc. Outdoor work should be temporarily stopped.

(4) Dust eye, don't rub it by hand.

If you travel in dusty weather, it is easy to get lost in the dust. When you get lost, you will immediately feel pain in your eyes and can't open them. Some people habitually rub their eyes hard to let foreign objects come out immediately. This is a dangerous action, which is likely to cause eye scratches and even keratitis. The correct way is to close your eyes and lower your head slightly. When your eyes are stimulated by dust, you will shed a lot of tears. Then blink your eyelids again, and the dust will flow out with the tears rushing to the corner of your eyes. If the tears can't wash out the foreign body, ask someone to turn the upper eyelid to find the foreign body, use a sterile cotton swab or clean handkerchief to fold a corner and gently wipe out the foreign body, and order antibiotic eye drops several times in time to prevent infection. If you find a foreign body on the cornea, you should immediately go to the hospital to take it out with disinfection equipment. Don't take it casually. Once the wound is enlarged or infected, it will become a big problem.
