The Qingming small holiday is coming, and many people are planning to go out for a spring outing.

Whether it's hiking, enjoying flowers, climbing mountains or camping, it's a good opportunity to embrace nature. To make the spring outing happy and healthy, the first thing is to choose a sunny day and pay attention to the weather forecast before departure.

Appreciating the lakes and mountains and bringing a set of suitable travel equipment will undoubtedly add points to the trip. The more advanced the equipment, the better, but a set of easy-to-use and comfortable bags will undoubtedly save people a lot of trouble.

Equipment items

Tents and sleeping bags

If you plan to camp outdoors, tents and sleeping bags are essential. When camping in spring, the tent is our "house", which protects us from wind and rain, dew and moisture. Although it is already April, the weather will not be too bad, but we should pay more attention to the choice of tents.

Ordinary consumers usually use tents for leisure travel, and consider at most two elements: one is convenient to carry, and the other is waterproof and breathable. Dome tents are the most popular among consumers, with simple structure, convenient carrying and relatively light weight. The lightest double tent is only 2 kilograms.

Tents are used to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is the responsibility of sleeping bags to keep warm. There are two common sleeping bags on the market, mommy and envelope. Mommy sleeping bag has wide shoulders and narrow feet, which is more suitable for cold season. The envelope sleeping bag is as wide as shoulders and feet, like an envelope. This kind of sleeping bag is relatively loose, suitable for people who are warmer and bigger in summer. The fillers of sleeping bags are mainly fleece, chemical fiber cotton and down, of which down is the most expensive.

Waterproof windbreaker

In addition to rich colors, different styles of windbreakers have different textures and functions. When shopping, we often wonder why there are so many "cards" on clothes. It turns out that each one is a kind of "authentication"! Whether it is waterproof, how breathable it is, and what kind of fabric to use are all explained by professionals! Whether the windbreaker is waterproof depends on these small signs.

Lightweight non-slip shoes

It is directly related to your personal safety. A pair of good out shoes can make you walk lightly and greatly reduce the fatigue during the journey. Lightweight hiking shoes or non-slip shoes should be the first choice. It should be noted that out shoes are different from hiking shoes and are more suitable for hiking. Its midsole is made of special materials according to ergonomics, which makes it more flexible to walk.

Travelling cane

When you are exhausted, you will find how useful the walking stick is. Titanium alloy is the lightest, followed by aluminum alloy. Another trekking pole is equipped with a spring and a damping system to cushion the impact force.

In addition, we need to collect spring outing equipment including GPS, multifunctional knives, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Allergy prevention

Pollen fever

In northern China, spring, usually from early March to late May, is the high season of hay fever. Allergy is mainly caused by pollen from cypress, Moraceae and other trees.

If you are allergic to cypress pollen, don't go to parks or mountains with many trees, or areas or cities where allergens are relatively concentrated.

You can do some preventive treatment in advance and take preventive drugs before the high incidence season of hay fever comes.

For example, for rhinitis, nasal spray hormone is a good preventive drug, which takes effect in three days and reaches its peak in one week. If patients can predict when they will have an attack, it is recommended to start using it one week in advance.

There is also an eye drop called sodium cromoglycate, which has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on immediate allergic reactions. It is best to start eye drops two weeks before onset.

light injury

The sun shines brightly in spring, shining all over the earth. The enhancement of ultraviolet rays in sunlight is easy to induce solar dermatitis, which is manifested as desquamation, itching, dry pain and other symptoms, as well as erythema, papules, scales and so on. The common people are also called "Peach Blossom Tinea". With the revival of everything, many people like to collect fresh wild vegetables in the wild, and some wild vegetables can induce and aggravate solar dermatitis.

Insect bite dermatitis, also known as papular urticaria

People began to go outdoors, go for a spring outing, go for a walk and enjoy nature. At this time, some small insects, such as sandflies and midges, became active. These small insects enter people's body, bite people's skin, form insect bite dermatitis, and even their secretions get on people's bodies, which will induce allergies.

Urticaria, also known as rash

Some people with allergies will get sick if they inhale pollen, feathers and some volatile chemical gases floating in the air, such as automobile exhaust and sulfur dioxide. It is characterized by sudden itching of the skin, followed by flat and high wheal-like rashes of different sizes, so it is also called rash. Some rashes are pale and some are red, and more and more rashes can be found all over the body. Some can subside in a short time, but they are easy to relapse; Some may become chronic urticaria, lasting for months or even years. If there is acute urticaria in laryngeal mucosa, severe cases may lead to obstruction, chest tightness, suffocation, or life-threatening due to anaphylactic shock.

contact dermatitis

Dermatitis caused by contact with certain objects (mainly plants). There are many plants whose leaves, stems, flowers and fruits are irritating to human skin, such as sumac, nettle and pyrethrum. If you accidentally touch them, the exposed parts will itch or burn, and erythema will appear locally, or dense papules the size of a needle tip will appear. In severe cases, erythema, swelling and pain will occur, and blisters will appear. A few severe cases will also have symptoms such as fever, fear of cold, headache and nausea. If the disease is treated promptly and properly, it will be cured in about 10 days. But it is easy to relapse. If it recurs repeatedly or is not handled properly, it may turn into chronic dermatitis, which will be more difficult to treat.

preventive measure

People who have had solar dermatitis and seasonal dermatitis in the past should pay attention to avoiding direct sunlight and not using alkaline cosmetics and soap; In the season when flowers are in full bloom and pollen is scattered, people with allergies should go to the wild, under trees or among flowers as little as possible, and wear masks and glasses when going out to minimize the exposed parts; You can also take some anti-allergic drugs in advance, such as kairuitan and cetirizine. When you go out to play in spring, you should tighten your cuffs and trouser legs to prevent bugs from getting in.

Prepare six drugs

If it is a family trip, in addition to people who have basic diseases and need to take medicine for a long time, they need to go to a specialist clinic to evaluate the basic diseases, prepare and pack enough maintenance and treatment drugs, and also need to prepare a first-aid kit with six commonly used drugs and supplies.

1. Drugs used for emergency disinfection and dressing when trauma occurs: such as band-aid, iodophor disinfectant, gauze, cotton ball, etc.

2. Drugs used for sudden acute fever and cold diseases during the trip: such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory painkillers and cold medicines.
