"Hangzhou girl cleans up moldy wardrobe lung mold"
's topic rushed to the top of the hot search
aroused heated discussions among netizens
A week ago, Miss Wang (pseudonym), a "post-00s" living in Hangzhou, developed a cough, fatigue, and fever, reaching a maximum of 40 °C. After a series of examinations, the doctor found from the CT scan of her lungs that Miss Wang's lungs had grown "small tree buds", which was suspected to be fungal pneumonia.
Miss Wang said that she found mildew in the wardrobe at home a month ago, so she cleaned the moldy parts, but did not do a good job of protection, and inhaled a lot of impurities and dust raised during the cleaning process, and then she had paroxysmal cough, which was relatively mild and did not attract attention.
After understanding this situation, the doctor performed a flexible bronchoscopy for her, and sure enough, he found a large amount of white plaque on the airway wall, which was confirmed to be Aspergillus after laboratory tests.
Actually, just search for it
Exposure to mold
There are not many real-life cases of being infected
Mold is caused by a type of organism called mold
caused
And mildew can be seen everywhere
Proof that mold has taken root in the home
Mold, an internationally recognized carcinogen
Wang Lianglu, deputy chief physician of the allergy department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said in a program that mold is a strong carcinogen, listed as a first-class carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and is 68 times more toxic than arsenic.
Mold has the ability to teratize, teratogenicity is mainly for pregnant women, if pregnant women are more exposed to this toxin, it may cause fetal malformations and even lead to miscarriage, in animal experiments found that this substance can cause malformations and miscarriages in mice. In addition, severe allergic reactions caused by mold can lead to death.
What to do if the walls are moldy?
Facing the most common wall mold in Cantonese
Is it a laissez-faire?
Or do you want to repaint the walls?
These little tricks can be collected
When the mold of the wall is not too severe
You can use a dry brush or dry rag to remove the mold stains, and then gently wipe with a soft cloth dipped in 75% alcohol, which can dry the wall and prevent mold from growing.
When the mold of the wall is severe
After rubbing with alcohol in the previous step, use bleach (powder) and water to pour into the spray bottle at a ratio of 1:99, and spray it on the moldy wall to solve the moldy wall problem. Then wipe the wall with a rag and finally wash it with water.
PS: Pay attention to ventilation when washing, and wear protective gloves, masks and glasses.
There are also these 4 places in the house
It is easy to harbor mold
toilet
Common areas for mold breeding include wall corners, tile crevices, shower curtains, faucets, and bathroom sealants. Data shows that bathroom sealants are the dirtiest places globally, with 56% of homes found to be heavily contaminated in mold tests.
Refrigerator doors
The plastic seal on the refrigerator door is an ideal breeding ground for mold. Molds multiply through spores, which are resistant to very low temperatures (as low as -50°C), such as Alternaria spp., which is resistant to low temperatures, and can cause respiratory allergies.
In addition, there may be a lot of other molds on the refrigerator door, such as multiple main cladospores, Penicillium, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, etc. Once the human body eats these microorganisms, it is easy to cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other diseases.
washer
The humid environment in the inner drum of the washing machine is prone to mold culture. Previously, the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention had sampled and inspected 128 washing machines that had been used for more than half a year. The results showed that the detection rate of mold in the inner tank of the washing machine bucket was 60.2%.
Moreover, the longer the washing machine is used, the more frequent the laundry, and the greater the number of mold spores in the laundry sink. These molds can cause secondary contamination of clothing, which can cause damage to the human body.
Bonsai plants
Potted plants and their surroundings (such as moist soil and pots, as well as fertilizers such as wood chips, rice washing water, eggshells, etc.) are susceptible to mold. This is because the roots and branches of water-cuttings are soaked in water for a long time, and the incisions will slowly rot, and if they are not cut in time, mold will easily develop.
In addition to wet soil and flower pots, potted plants, some auxiliary fertilizers and fallen leaves are also prone to mold. Therefore, for people with allergic diseases, it is generally recommended not to raise flowers and plants in closed rooms.
Moldy food
Moldy food often forms mold spores and filaments on the surface or inside, and mold spores and filaments may penetrate into the food, and even if the moldy parts are removed, they may not be completely removed. Food containing mold spores or toxins can cause food poisoning and health problems if consumed.
