In recent days, due to the continuous heavy rainfall in many places, there are even floods and landslides in many places. Although the rainstorm weather has passed, more attention should be paid to the dietary problems, because with the high temperature and high humidity weather, intestinal infectious diseases and various food-borne diseases are prone to occur. Let's learn about the precautions for food hygiene.
? Don't eat food that has been flooded
A lot of things have been flooded by the continuous rainstorm. Some people think that food is just flooded and will not affect eating. This idea is all wet! Because waterlogging in urban rainstorm will flush a lot of garbage and waste into water, bacteria will multiply rapidly, and food will be easily contaminated by microorganisms in sewage, which will lead to rot and deterioration, which is invisible to the naked eye, and poisoning is likely to occur after eating, so don't eat flooded food indiscriminately to save that money, let alone salvage food floating on water for greed.
? Don't eat moldy food
After heavy rainfall, the humidity in the air is relatively high and the temperature is high, which simply creates the most suitable growth conditions for bacteria and molds. Food is easily contaminated by microorganisms and decays. Foods such as rice, noodles and flour at home are also prone to mildew if stored improperly, which will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and vomiting after eating, so be sure to eat food without spoilage.
Don't eat wild mushrooms
After the rain, all kinds of mushrooms grow vigorously. Many people rely on their own experience to pick mushrooms to eat, and their temporary appetite may bring irreparable tragedy. There have been many accidents about the poisoning of wild poisonous mushrooms, and any online search is a worrying case. Let's have a long snack.
Don't eat food from unknown sources
There may be many livestock, fish and shrimp floating in rivers after the rainstorm, and some people pick up the meat of drowned chickens, ducks, pigs, cows and other livestock and animals and eat it at home, thinking that "the pie has fallen from the sky". In fact, how and how long these things died can't be confirmed. Soaking in water is likely to be polluted by germs or toxic sources, which may cause food-borne diseases or
Don't drink raw water
Due to the influence of heavy rain, water and electricity may be cut off in some places. In order to solve the immediate dilemma, we should drink raw water directly, and the raw water may be polluted. Even the sterilized water should be boiled before drinking. After all, after disinfection, there will still be some pathogenic microorganisms that we can't see with the naked eye.
If the water supply and power supply can't be restored in a short time, it's recommended to buy bottled water or bottled water that meets the hygiene standards, and pay attention to those polluted by floods, even unopened bottles/bottled water can't be drunk.
In addition to the above, we should pay special attention not to eat. In addition, we should take defensive measures to reduce the occurrence of diseases: disinfect tableware in time
No matter whether the tableware has been soaked or not, we should wash it again. Put the cleaned tableware in a pot and boil it with water for 15 minutes to achieve the disinfection effect, and then put it in a disinfection cupboard for disinfection. Do both! Keep the environment clean
After a rainstorm, the environment will be more likely to be wet and breed bacteria than usual, so remember to wash your hands frequently and do a good job of personal hygiene. In addition, you can add some disinfectant to the water to clean the floor and furniture and let the bacteria go back! Back off! Back off!
Mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and mice will also increase. Remember to cover up the unfinished things in time and clean up the garbage in time. Keep a good mood
People's mood will change with the surrounding environment, and rainstorm weather is easy to make people feel depressed and tired, causing anxiety and irritability. We have to adjust our mentality in time, and maintaining good sleep quality and healthy diet can improve our resistance.
The storm and flood disaster will eventually pass. I hope everyone can get out of trouble safely and pay attention to food hygiene. Remember to seek medical attention in time if you are abnormal. I hope we can all be well ~
