What to do if catkins are inhaled into the respiratory tract

The pear blossoms are pale white, the willows are deep green; when the willow catkins fly, the city is full of flowers. "The catkins described by poets are very beautiful, but in the eyes of modern people, catkins are more like a troublesome thing. Spring is the season for all things to come back to life, but soon you will see clumps of catkins floating in the streets and alleys. When the wind blows, they are everywhere and difficult to clean up. Especially when some people forget to wear masks when going out, they may inhale them into their noses. So what should we do if catkins are inhaled into the respiratory tract?

Willow catkins entering the respiratory tract will have a certain impact on the respiratory tract, affecting the respiratory system, making breathing difficult and shortness of breath. This is for people with respiratory diseases, such as asthma, but for normal people, it will not have too much impact. However, you should not inhale too much willow catkins. You can wear a mask for protection at ordinary times. People with allergies should completely avoid inhaling willow catkins.

These do not cause much harm to normal people or those without respiratory diseases. Normal people can clear these through their breathing into the mucous membranes. However, for patients with allergic asthma, they can easily induce asthma attacks. Guidance: In your case, if you don’t have any respiratory disease, you can usually wear a mask for protection.

Willow catkins can easily carry viruses and spread diseases. Spring is the season when catkins fly all over the sky, and it is also the season when various allergic symptoms are prevalent.

May cause respiratory diseases: Allergies caused by catkins mainly occur in the upper respiratory tract. When willow catkins are inhaled into the nasal cavity, they will cause strong irritation, runny nose, coughing, asthma and other reactions, such as itchy skin, redness of the conjunctiva, etc., and in severe cases, it will even affect sleep.

It can also cause skin allergies: the oil and polysaccharides contained in willow catkins are inhaled by the human body, digested by nasal secretions, and then release more than 10 kinds of antibodies. If this antibody meets invading pollen and accumulates in large quantities, it can cause skin allergies.

People with allergies, as well as the elderly and children, should try not to go to places with willow trees. If they must go, they should wear a mask and dress as tightly as possible. Before going home, they should wipe off the willow catkins residue on their bodies and not bring them into the room.

In addition to preventing hair from being inhaled into the nasal cavity, you should also prevent hair from getting into the eyes. When hair floats into your eyes, do not rub them with dirty hands. You can let the tears naturally flush it out of your eyes by blinking. If you still feel a foreign body sensation, rinse your eyes with pure water. If it still doesn't work, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately to prevent various eye diseases.

Willow catkins also have some other hazards: Willow catkins also pose a threat to public safety, traffic safety and public facilities. For example, flying catkins may block the view of pedestrians and vehicles, thus affecting traffic safety. Because the catkins are very light, they float in the air and once they fall, they will gather into clumps. The clumps of catkins are very easy to ignite, causing fires.
