China Weather Network News At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the weather is refreshing and pleasant. However, in this pleasant weather, many people sneeze non-stop, with mucus and tears flying from their noses. Don’t mistake it for a cold; it could be autumn pollen allergies. China Weather Network has specially launched a national pollen allergy index map to see where people with allergies are most likely to be affected in the next three days.
Many people think that allergies only appear in spring, but in fact, late summer and early autumn are also the peak seasons for allergies. According to the Beijing Municipal Landscaping and Greening Bureau, Beijing’s herbaceous plants have gradually entered the powdering period, and entered the peak pollen release period in September. At present, many places in the north have entered the embrace of autumn, and autumn has officially entered in the Northeast, Northwest, and northern North China. At this time, grass pollen such as Artemisia, Humulus, Ragweed and other grass pollens have become the main allergens, and the recent continued sunny and dry weather in the above-mentioned areas is exactly conducive to the spread and diffusion of pollen.
According to the national pollen allergy index map launched by China Weather Network, from September 4th to 6th, more than ten provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in my country are prone to allergic reactions. Among them, some areas in central Inner Mongolia, northern Hebei, northern Beijing, most of Shandong, eastern and southern Anhui, southeastern Hubei, and central Hunan are extremely prone to allergic reactions. It is recommended that friends in the above-mentioned areas try to reduce the time for outdoor activities as much as possible, and allergy stars should prepare masks, hats and other protective equipment when traveling, and be fully equipped to prevent allergies.
Eastern Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, most of Xinjiang, Qinghai, northern Sichuan, and parts of Guizhou are also prone to allergies. The weather in these places will be mainly sunny today and tomorrow, and the pollen concentration will be high. Friends need to strengthen protection and avoid traveling during periods when pollen concentration is high.
Parts of Shanxi, Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Ningxia, Xinjiang Turpan Basin, and Tibet may also induce allergies. Friends in these places need to be more vigilant, and the protection of friends prone to allergies cannot be relaxed.
At the same time, in the next three days, most of Jilin, central and southern Shaanxi, central and southern Sichuan, Guangdong, Hainan, western Guangxi, and western Yunnan will not be prone to allergies and can be easily traveled.
In summer and autumn, the pollen particles of allergenic grasses are small, numerous, easy to spread, and highly allergenic. In particular, pollen from plants of the genus Artemisia is particularly active at this time, and some people may suffer severe allergic reactions after being exposed to only a small amount of Artemisia pollen. How should people with allergies respond? Remember the three words of protection: "hide, prevent, and treat."
Hide: "Travel during off-peak hours" with pollen
Choose the right time to travel and avoid periods when pollen concentration is high. Pollen is most rampant in dry, sunny, and windy weather. People with sensitive allergies should try to avoid going out during the peak hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Prevention: Strengthen protection and block pollen
Be well-dressed when you go out, and clean up promptly when you come home. Wearing a well-sealed mask and goggles can effectively block pollen; change clothes immediately after returning home, wash your face, and flush your nasal cavity with saline to keep out allergens.
Treatment: Don’t believe in folk prescriptions and standardize medication use
Use scientific medicine and reject folk remedies. Allergic rhinitis requires standardized treatment. Do not believe in "miracle medicines" or "secret recipes." Be sure to use regular medicines under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist and adhere to the course of treatment.
China Weather Network reminds that the autumn pollen allergy season has arrived, and you need to remember the protection tips, and those with severe symptoms should seek medical treatment in time. In addition to taking medication, ensuring adequate sleep, eating a balanced diet, exercising more, and improving your own immunity can also effectively reduce the risk of allergies.
