1. Escape from the fire, don't take the elevator
Imagine you're in a burning building, the light of the fire and smoke making it hard to breathe and blurring your vision. At this point, you may think of taking the elevator to escape quickly. But did you know that in the event of a fire, the elevator shaft is like a huge chimney that can become a passage for smoke, and the elevator can be out of service due to a power outage, trapping you in it. Therefore, in the event of a fire, be sure to choose a staircase to escape.
2. Read the instructions before taking the medicine
Each drug has its own specific method and dosage. Before taking medicine, be sure to read the drug instructions carefully to understand the indications, dosage, adverse reactions and other information of the drug. Don't let your body be hurt unnecessarily because of carelessness.
3. When an earthquake strikes, take cover
What do you do when an earthquake strikes suddenly? Do you run out in a panic or find a solid object nearby? Remember, you can't run during an earthquake, and the best way to do this is to quickly duck under a solid table or other furniture to protect your head. Wait for the shaking to stop, and then quickly evacuate to an open area.
4. After a burn, showering is key
What is your first reaction when you get burned? Apply toothpaste, soy sauce? Wrong! Not only does it not relieve the pain, but it may also worsen the injury. The correct thing to do is to immediately rinse the wound with cool running water to lower the temperature of the skin and reduce the damage. Remember, don't smear anything randomly.
5. Burn blisters, don't break them easily
Blisters after a burn are a way for the skin to protect itself and help the skin heal better. So, don't break the blisters easily to avoid infection. If the blisters are too large or interfere with movement, you can seek help from your doctor to deal with them.
6. When swimming, be careful of cramps
Swimming is a great sport, but there are also certain risks. Before swimming or diving, be sure to warm up well to avoid dangerous situations such as cramps. At the same time, you should also arrange the amount of exercise reasonably according to your physical condition and do not be overly tired.
7. Rest in the car, use the air conditioner with caution
Sleeping with the air conditioner on in the car may seem comfortable, but it can be dangerous. Leaving the air conditioner on in a closed car for a long time can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning and even life-threatening. So, if you need to take a break in the car, be sure to keep the windows open for air circulation.
8. Trapped in the car, cleverly call for help
If you're trapped in your car and can't open the door in the normal way, don't panic. You can get the attention of others and ask for help by honking your horn or flashing lights. In the meantime, try to stay calm and wait for rescue.
9. Wild fruits and vegetables, 别乱吃
When you are outdoors, what is your first reaction when you see wild fruits and vegetables that you don't know? Do you want to taste them? Don't do this! Wild fruits and vegetables you don't know may contain toxins, and accidental ingestion may cause poisoning. So, to be on the safe side, keep your mouth shut.
10. When thunder, stay away from large trees and clearings
When thundering, it is very dangerous to stand under a large tree or in an open area. Because tall trees and open fields are easy targets for lightning strikes. Therefore, it is best to take shelter in buildings or low-lying areas to ensure your safety during thunderstorms.
