Eating takeaway vigilant infectious diarrhea in summer

Although the beginning of autumn has passed, the annoying high temperatures are still lagging behind. The hot climate in summer has also accelerated the breeding and reproduction of all types of bacteria and viruses, causing a surge in infectious diseases in the summer.

Miss Zhao, who lives in Qingliang Gate, was too hot for noon. She called for a take-out when she was too lazy to reach the door. As a result, she started vomiting and diarrhea in the afternoon when she was at work. In the end, her body was overwhelmed. She was almost dehydrated and she had to go to the Provincial People's Hospital for treatment. Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen colleagues in the emergency room, all of whom called for a take-out of the restaurant. Vomiting and diarrhea are uncomfortable. Dr. Cai Jie, from the Department of Infectious Diseases of the People's Hospital of Jiangsu Province, said that similar conditions have recently been seen in many cases. This is a typical feature of the intestinal infectious disease in summer: the disease is imported from the mouth.

According to Cai Jie, the most common intestinal infectious diseases in summer are mainly infectious diarrhea (infectious diarrhea in a narrow sense other than cholera, bacterial and amoebic dysentery, typhoid and paratyphoid fever), bacterial dysentery and virality. Hepatitis and so on. Mainly through water, food, daily contact and other means of communication. According to Cai Jie, summer water, food, and the environment are easily polluted, and mosquitoes and flies also enter the breeding peak in summer. The various pathogens they carry are also prone to contaminate the above-mentioned transmission routes. People consume more energy and have lower acidity during this season. The resistance to germs is weak, so it is susceptible to the "invasion" of germs.

Bacterial dysentery is one of the prevention focuses of intestinal infectious diseases in summer. The typical symptoms should be distinguished from common diarrhea: the patient generally has a sudden onset, may be accompanied by chills, chills and high fever, defecation is 10 to 20 times a day, mucus is pus and blood, and 2 to 7 years old children may even be due to toxic bacteria. Cause shock or cerebral edema, the consequences are serious and must not be overlooked.

Therefore, appropriate protective measures should be taken during the summer, and the key to disease prevention is to live with “illness from the mouth”. Specifically, the summer diet should be based on the principle of “clean, light, and moderate”. Drink raw water, eat uncooked or spoiled foods, and heat the food thoroughly, because it is easy for the food to deteriorate. Bacteria are easy to grow; watermelons and other fruits should be eaten as much as possible after they have been cut and stored in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours; they should not drink expired beverages or eat moldy foods; properly use vinegar. In addition, we should develop good hygiene habits, wash hands before and after meals, do a good job in environmental sanitation, fly prevention and dust prevention; when there are unexplained severe diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms, we must seek medical advice promptly. If we cannot get to the hospital in time, we must Home oral salt water in time to replace the loss of water and electrolytes.

In addition, when patients have diarrhea symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital first to do bacterial culture to help identify the pathogens that are infected, especially bacterial dysentery. If there is no severe vomiting or other indications of fasting, patients with diarrhea should not use their own fasting or over-constrained diet. They can eat some thin, soft, easily digestible, nutritious foods (such as porridge, noodles, etc.), and intestinal tracts in the home. Infectious patients should pay attention to disinfection of excreta, articles and the environment.
