According to previous reports, in early September last year, after a thunderstorm, many citizens in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, suddenly had uncomfortable throat, violent cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and even difficulty breathing, and the number of asthma patients in the outpatient and emergency departments of major hospitals suddenly increased significantly, and some hospitals received 800 people a day. During the same period, Beijing also received a number of cases of thunderstorm asthma.
Scientists have found
There are usually three factors that contribute to the development of asthma during thunderstorms
First, there is a thunderstorm;
second, the pollen concentration in the environment is high;
The third is allergies.
Doctors pointed out that thunderstorm asthma is an acute attack that can occur in people of any age, and is more common in people with allergies, especially those who are allergic to pollen and mold.
In general, although thunderstorm asthma is a relatively rare phenomenon and does not occur every time there is a thunderstorm, people with allergies should still take precautions and pay attention.
