Enjoying the flowers is the opening ceremony of ordinary people's spring. For patients with allergic rhinitis, the milestone event that marks the arrival of spring is that they sneezed 4 times as soon as they opened their eyes.
Urban people have bitter rhinitis for a long time.
According to the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis in China (2018 Edition)", from 2005 to 2011, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in mainland China increased from 11.1% to 17.6%, and the number of patients increased by about 100 million. It has become a common disease among urban people.
Allergic rhinitis is not only uncomfortable, but also difficult.
Yin Jia, director of the Department of Allergies at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said in an interview with China Science News that "once you have your first allergy, it will accompany you for a lifetime."
If someone says that there are no lifelong diseases in the 21st century, he must have forgotten that there is allergic rhinitis in this world.
allergic rhinitis
The most popular urban disease of our time
Weibo search for "allergic rhinitis" in real time, and you will see a history of rhinitis patients suffering from blood and tears.
Long before the outbreak began, rhinitis sufferers had adapted to wearing masks in the spring. A nasal wash must be used at home, and you must experience the sourness of the normal saline directly into the temple twice a day, and if you are not careful, the salt water will be poured back into the throat.
The seven tricks are the same, only they understand best.
The more painful experience is "not sleeping well at night, running a nose during the day, and wiping the area around the nose with paper towels is a small blood scab."
Bai Dan lived in the north for 13 years, and his allergy career was 8 years, especially in the spring, when the northern wind was strong, and once the ventilation was full of ash, rhinitis would come to the door.
No one knows more about spring than a rhinitis patient. /《Legal high》
"The eyes are very itchy, the snot is constant, and then I can't breathe, and I keep sneezing, and I feel dizzy until I get dizzy."
Sleeping is more painful, on days with severe rhinitis, Bai Dan has hardly slept a few good nights, and the feeling of breathlessness in her nose makes her always half-dream and half-awake to rub her nose and sneeze a few times to wake herself up.
She is most worried about rhinitis because of the nasal congestion has developed the habit of oral breathing, and she believes that "oral breathing" will cause the chin to retract, that is, become ugly.
"I've heard people say that when you sit and sleep, your nose will be less blocked, but I can't do it. At this time of year, I survive with perseverance. ”
For patients with pets, life is even more hellishly difficult.
Only a shoveler with rhinitis can appreciate what is called "separation of spirit and flesh". "Cat freedom" does not exist, the reality is that every time after touching the cat and dog must wash their hands in time, careful not to let the hand touch any part of the eyes, nose and mouth, otherwise it will be snotty, and the volcano in the nasal cavity is ready to go.

In addition to pollen, Zhang Luo, head of the clinical key specialty of the National Health and Health Commission, said that the most important allergen in Chinese is mites, and more than half of patients with allergic diseases will have positive mites, of which dust mite excrement is one of the common allergens.
Dr. Wei Taotao, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "Most mites neither 'secrete venom' or have 'hunting skills' because of their slow movements, but they still have a negative impact on human health. The main reason for this is that the excrement of mites is a typical allergen that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people. ”
With the improvement of the living conditions of urban people, the growing environment suitable for mites has increased, and more and more contact with the human body such as fabric furniture, plush toys, pet hair, etc., the probability of allergies may also increase.
The beautiful objects we love may have hidden allergens, and in the face of the "dangerous" home environment, perhaps every rhinitis patient has thought in his heart that "this nose, it is better not to".
Blind spots
Invisible to the naked eye is even more frightening
As the main allergen of contemporary allergic rhinitis patients, pollen in nature is inevitable, but dust mites in the home environment are artificially controllable.
People who are prone to allergies tend to have higher cleaning requirements for their homes.
Rhinitis patients have more or less "cleaning anxiety", in order to avoid allergies, they will wear masks to clean regularly, trying to kill dust mites in the cradle. And the biggest anxiety comes from "Is the cleaned home really clean enough?" ”。
This anxiety is also reflected in the "Global Dust Research Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Dust Report") recently released by Dyson, which shows that the breadth of Chinese consumers' awareness of dust and its hazards ranks among the best in the world, and the "industriousness index" is also higher than the global average, but it is worth noting that they are still easy to ignore those "invisible dust".
The root cause lies in the fact that Chinese consumers generally have a big misunderstanding called "dirty and clean up".
And dust is something like a cockroach, and when you see one, it means that the house is already everywhere.
Dyson microbiology scientist Monika Stuczen said: "Many of the dust particles are visible only in microscopy, so in fact, when people find obvious dust in their homes, there is a high probability that dust mites will be present in your home." ”
In addition to the dust on the surface, the dust will also hide in the sanitary dead corners that need to be cleaned by moving furniture, or the soft decorations or furniture heights that are usually expensive to clean.
These "invisible dusts" do not always hide in dead corners, but settle all over the room with the circulation of air, including dead corners and blind spots that are difficult to clean or ignored every day.
According to the Dust Report, nearly 70% of Chinese respondents neglected mattress dust removal, while 64% ignored the cleaning of curtains, and these places often accumulate a lot of dust.
Does not seeing dust equal to not having dust? /Figureworm Creative
Mattresses in particular, dead skin cells shed by humans and pets, are the main food source for dust mites. Mattresses are the places we stay the longest, so naturally they are also places where dander tends to accumulate, and they are also the main breeding place for dust mites.
Therefore, the dust raised by the bedding every time the bedding is changed is the most real horror nightmare in the daily life of allergy sufferers.
"Invisible dust" has become a potential health hazard and has made cleaning incomplete and inefficient. The real deep cleaning of the whole house lies in cleaning up the "details" that are ignored daily, so as to create a safe and healthy home environment.
I want to live a cleaner life
Dust removal should also be meticulous
Say goodbye to "cleaning anxiety" and focus on the depth and detail of the whole house cleaning.
Perhaps we will encounter some helpless moments of obsessive-compulsive disorder in home cleaning, such as cabinets and wall gaps or corners, thick suction heads can not always go deep, and machines are always "stuck walls".
Or it's annoying to find that the TV screen was left with many tiny scratches during the cleanup process.
There are also "hair children" families that can never suck clean cat hair and dog hair, which increases anxiety.
Of course, there are also cleaning blind spots that we have not noticed at all, mattresses, curtains, sofas, dust mites quietly breed without your knowledge, so that sensitive nasal passages frequently "move".
Cleaning is a decompression thing, but these frustrating and irritating moments make this thing stressful, always not sweeping clean, sweeping incompletely, and eventually becoming "cleaning anxiety".
Only when the "invisible dust" is no longer invisible, the anxiety in the heart when cleaning can be alleviated.
In order to alleviate "cleaning anxiety", Dyson launched "visualization" technology last year to make "invisible" dust "visible". The use of laser detection technology to make the invisible dust visible to the naked eye, piezoelectric acoustic sensing technology to the amount and size of the inhaled dust for real-time monitoring and statistics, to provide users with scientific proof of deep cleaning.
The visual, pollution-free cleaning experience allows users to "know" and worry about the home environment.
Let's "see the dust" is the first step, and in view of the cleaning pain points and troubles that are widely present in daily life, especially the cleaning problems of dead corners and blind spots in the home, Dyson has upgraded the floor cleaning solution based on the intensive research on dust. With all-round and precise redefinition of the indoor deep cleaning dimension, on the basis of dust visibility, deeper and more accurate touch to the dust.
The tip can be rotated 22° and is more comfortable facing narrow gaps.
Starting with the details of home cleaning, Dyson has introduced a suite of fine cleaning accessories that includes ultra-narrow gap corner tips and a traceless soft hair dust removal brush. The ultra-narrow gap corner tip is 13% longer and narrower than the original gap tip, and can be rotated 22°. In the face of the narrow gap between the cabinet and the wall, or the difficult corners and dead corners, there is no need to move the furniture laboriously, and the small and flexible suction head can be easily probed directly into the gap, and there is no need to "look at the ash and sigh".
The sliding brush strip on the tip is attached with hard nylon bristles, and by sliding down the brush strip, you can clean up the stubborn dirt and grime deep in the crevices, saying goodbye to the "visible and untouchable" cleaning experience.
The traceless soft-bristle dust brush also makes home cleaning "meticulous" – 8,100 PBT bristles with tips as thin as 0.05 mm are densely arranged through a precise design, providing scratch-free protection for keyboards, hand-made, and delicate valuables.
At the same time, the brush head is also equipped with a rotating bayonet for self-cleaning, and it can be hygienically and conveniently cleaned of dust and debris on the bristles by simply rotating.
Gently twist for self-cleaning.
As for the problem of pet hair cleaning, Dyson will help people clean the hair on the floor more conveniently through anti-winding high-torque tips and anti-entanglement direct-drive tips. The two tips are equipped with a comb composed of polycarbonate teeth inside, which is automatically anti-entanglement by "combing" the hairs on the brush strip and throwing them into the dust cylinder in an orderly manner.
The anti-tangle design quickly draws up hairs and avoids tangles.
For people who are prone to allergies, whether it is changing quilts or sitting on a fabric sofa that is not thoroughly cleaned, the hidden dust mites are a kind of torture on the nasal cavity. In view of the fact that bedding, sofas, pet nests and other soft decorations are easy to hide "invisible dust" and difficult to clean deeply, Dyson has equipped a number of products with anti-winding spiral tips to help more users efficiently remove the hair on the surface of mattresses, sofas and other furniture and the dust mites in the depths, and completely solve the dust mite problem in daily cleaning, which will no longer become a source of anxiety for us to worry about allergies.
At the same time, Dyson will equip the V12 with a complete sealed HEPA filtration system, which adsorbs and locks 99.97% of invisible particles as small as 0.1 microns, and discharges clean air. People who are prone to allergies can say goodbye to the secondary pollution of dust during cleaning, and they can also say goodbye to the boring experience of vacuuming with a mask.
It is worth mentioning that the Dyson V15 has also ushered in an upgrade - the embedded fuselage design and longer battery life, a larger dust cylinder, so that the cleaning of large apartment users is more handy.
Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, dust is an annoying existence. The source of the subtle daily pain and trouble is probably brought about by the "invisible dust". Life is so easy to get dusted.
For ordinary people, it may be difficult to wash away the dust of the soul, but it is much simpler to remove the dust of life, and with the blessing of technological change, we at least have the freedom to dominate cleanliness.
It can be applied to a variety of daily cleaning scenes in life.
As a leader in cleaning reform, Dyson has been committed to "solving problems that others tend to ignore", taking dust research as the basis, constantly developing and innovating technology. This time, the full line of Dyson floor cleaning category has been upgraded to build a deep clean home environment with refined cleaning, blow away the dust of consumers' lives, and enjoy a safe and healthy life.
