What is the harm of flying feathers to children?

Annoying Flying Silk Real Body?
As far as Hangzhou is concerned, the spring flying feathers are roughly like this: in early April, the sycamores first begin to fly; in mid-to-late April, the willows appear, white fluff, flying with the wind, like snow; in mid-May, the yangs, which are very similar to the willows, will also float up in pieces.
In Hangzhou, there are two main kinds of flying feathers that plague the citizens, one is the "willow feather" brought by the female willow tree, but it has long been insufficient, as early as 2018, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Gardens and Cultural Relics has overcome this problem and promoted this inhibition technology in the city.
At the moment, in fact, the real headache is mainly the plane (sycamore) flying feather.
First, let's talk about the reasons for the sycamore flying feathers.
Although the sycamore flying feather and the willow feather can be said to be floating, they are actually different. Willows, in that year, the buds differentiate and begin to flutter, but the sycamores are not, they are all New Year's Eve fluttering work. They will bloom and grow new leaves and bear small young fruits in April and May every year, and will slowly ripen until September and 10, but they will not produce flocculents until the spring of the following year, when these cones begin to bounce and explode one by one, and the yellow-brown flocculents will drift with the wind.
Since 2021, after two years of tracking and testing by the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Gardens and Culture, the Hangzhou Wutong Flying Feather Suppression Test has finally overcome the difficulty. The use of trunk injection for sycamore fly inhibition work, through the trunk spiral administration, can make the plant receiving medicine more balanced, but also can help plants better absorb and decompose the drug, so as to achieve a better inhibition effect.

It is easy to cause children's allergies
Flying feathers fly all over the sky, it looks beautiful, but it is a big allergen.
At the same time, it is easy for flying feathers to become carriers and spreaders of germs, resulting in inflammation of human eyes, nose and throat. If it causes skin allergies, small rashes, peeling, redness and itching, chronic bronchitis and other respiratory diseases. In particular, children, the elderly and patients with respiratory diseases often react particularly strongly to Yang Shu and need to be particularly strictly guarded against.

Flying period child protection strategy
First, hide
Generally, from 10:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m., it is a high incidence period of flying feathers, and children with allergies try to avoid going out during this time. If you must go out, try to choose willow silk less in the morning, evening, or after the rain.
Second, cover
When going out, try to protect your child, masks, glasses and coats can not be less, fully "armed" and then go out. Because the flying floc particles are relatively large, ordinary masks can be resisted, and everyone can choose pure cotton or light material masks for children, so that they are more comfortable to wear.
Third, wash
Children with allergic rhinitis or sensitive to pollen and willow wool should preferably wash their nasal passages 2-3 times a day.
Fourth, eat
In the fly season, children, the elderly and other sensitive people should be properly supplemented with vitamin C and vitamin E, you can eat some cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, citrus and so on.
Fifth, tune
Being "harassed" by the flying willows can easily lead to a worse mood, so don't forget to properly help your child regulate his mood.

Special reminder
1. Caution fire disease
In the past, one of the main reasons for fires caused by willow fluff was caused by children playing with fire. Children are curious and curious about the willows that are flying down, and often ignite the piles of willows that have accumulated, resulting in fires.
Here to remind parents, be sure to warn children: do not covet fun to ignite the wool! In order to prevent unnecessary personal injury and property damage caused by fire caused by willow silk.
Second, do not rub your eyes with your hands
If you accidentally get into your eyes, don't rub it with your hands, otherwise it will be easy to scratch the cornea
The right way
If the foreign body is small and irritating, reflex tearing will discharge it: or rinse with water
If the flying feathers enter the deep layer of the eye, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to ask a doctor for treatment
Third, do not scratch the skin hard
When the skin is allergic, the itching is intolerable, but do not scratch repeatedly, in addition to applying antipruritic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, you can also:
Tap: The vertical force does not damage the skin.
Cold compresses: can reduce the skin's "memory" of irritations
