even rushed to the hot search
Netizens said: I love it
It is easy to accumulate water on rainy days
For convenience
Some treasures will choose
Wear slippers and wade through the water
But
Wear slippers when it rains
Is it really suitable?
Is the water on the road clean on a rainy day?
The water on a rainy day seems to be flowing, but it has nothing to do with being "clean".
In the stagnant water produced by rainy days, there is not only water and mud, but also visible excrement and household garbage along the way, and invisible pathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses and so on.
Real-world examples
Case 1
Xiao Liu (pseudonym) in Hangzhou waded through several puddles on the way to work on a rainy day, and his Achilles tendon was bulging. At first, he didn't care, thinking it was a mosquito bite, but a few days later, the "big bag" turned into a "hard lump", it was red, swollen and hot to the touch, and it hurt so much that he couldn't step on the ground.
Xiao Liu hurriedly "jumped" to the Third People's Hospital of Hangzhou for treatment. After examination, it was confirmed that Xiao Liu was suffering from erysipelas.
Case 2
When Mr. Wu from Zhongshan went to work, there was a sudden rainstorm, and the road was full of water, so he took off his shoes and waded through the water, and after arriving at the company, because there were no spare shoes and socks, he could only continue to work in wet socks and shoes.
The next day, he began to have a fever and his calves were also red, swollen and painful, so he went to the Department of Dermatology of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. Doctors diagnosed him with erysipelas, a common skin disease, and after symptomatic treatment, the patient was in stable condition and subsequently discharged from the hospital.
Can I go out in slippers on a rainy day?
Not recommended.
The road is not clean, if someone has broken skin on their feet at this time, and they happen to go out in slippers, it gives bacteria, fungi and viruses the opportunity to invade, they will enter the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels from the skin wound, which can easily lead to erysipelas, athlete's foot and other diseases.
erysipelas
The aforementioned erysipelas, also known by a more familiar name - flow fire, is mostly caused by beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection.
The most common sites of infection are the lower extremities and face, which manifest as localized erythema, superficial warmth, and pain, with a clear demarcation from the surrounding normal skin.
In addition, the local lymph nodes of erysipelas patients will also be swollen, if not treated in time, blisters, bullae or blood blisters will occur on the surface of the red and swollen skin, accompanied by fever, chills, headache and other symptoms, and more serious may develop into sepsis or sepsis, which is life-threatening.
Foot Wound
Tinea pedis is a fungal infection of the skin that occurs between the toes, soles, heels, and lateral margins of the feet.
The symptoms of tinea pedis vary from person to person, mainly including blistering and scaly type, hyperkeratosis type, macerated erosion type, etc., which may cause secondary infection, skin ulcers, acute lymphangitis, acute lymphadenitis, cellulitis and other complications.
If you have erythema, blisters, itching and other symptoms on your skin after wading in the water, please seek medical attention in time, especially for patients who have tinea pedis or other skin diseases, do not use medication empirically to avoid delaying the condition.
In case of heavy rain
There was serious water accumulation on the way to work
Had to wade through the water
What to do?
Be careful when wading in water on rainy days
Wade in the water to observe carefully
To prevent electric shock, it is best not to wade in the water. When traveling in thunderstorms, everyone should pay attention to avoid metal such as street lamp poles, signal light poles, outdoor units of air conditioners, and floor billboards, and do not take shelter from the rain under overhead lines and transformers. If you have to wade through the water, be sure to keep an eye out for any broken wires in the water near the section you are passing through.
It is best to wear rain boots when going out
The standing water on rainy days is dirty and not suitable for slippers. Wearing rain boots can keep stagnant water out of the shoes and prevent bacteria and fungi from invading.
Disinfect in time after wading
Wash your skin with tap water immediately after wading. If there is skin damage, it can be wiped and disinfected with iodine volt, and the skin and shoes should be kept dry to prevent infection.
Rains have been frequent recently
It is recommended that the treasures be in the office
Prepare a clean set of shoes, socks, and clothing
Just in case
