The real culprit is actually by the bedside... many families have it!, Terrifying! Female inexplicably shedding skin and shedding tears, hometown | lady | bedside
Not long ago
Ms. Zou, who is in her 40s in Hangzhou
Due to inexplicable appearance of head, face, and hands
Skin peeling and unstoppable tears
Go to the hospital for medical treatment
But when the inspection report was presented to us
Everyone was stunned
It's just that the "real culprit" and "hidden" are too good
……
The ophthalmologist at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital learned during consultation that Ms. Zou is a migrant worker in Hangzhou and usually shares a room with her fellow villager. Recently, she found that her face began to molt and her eyes were constantly shedding tears... Due to a small epithelial defect in the cornea of her eyes, doctors suspected that she had come into contact with the paint used for decoration, but Ms. Zou denied it.
What is the cause of that? When asked, "Have you ever been exposed to ultraviolet light in the past few days, such as seeing high-brightness welding and staying in a room where you have used a disinfection lamp?", Ms. Zou suddenly thought of something.
Originally, Ms. Zou lived on the first floor
Due to relative humidity
It is also easy to attract insects and mold
She followed the advice of her colleagues
I purchased a disinfection lamp online
Using ultraviolet disinfection
When going out to work or on weekends, turn on the lights to disinfect the room. They are actually quite careful, but it is inevitable that they forget to turn them off. A few days before the onset of the disease, Ms. Zou and her fellow villagers suddenly remembered forgetting to take things, so they returned to the rental house to stay for a while, but forgot that the disinfection light was on in the room So, both the villagers and Ms. Zou experienced the same symptoms.
Fortunately, Ms. Zou
When in the room, the body is backed by a UV light
Not particularly damaging to the eyes
But the exposed face and hands are molting like skin

In fact, in daily life, there are not many situations like Ms. Zou. "The number of patients who are burned by disinfection lamps and sterilization instruments at home has increased significantly. Our ophthalmology department has received nearly 100 cases in recent years." The doctor said that a man disinfected the fish tank with a household disinfection lamp and soon developed eye pain. After the live broadcast of the e-commerce anchorwoman, her eyes were too painful to open and she came to the hospital in the middle of the night......
Under what circumstances will one come into contact with ultraviolet lamps?
People engaged in various welding work
People using or repairing UV lamps
People who use charcoal arc lamps, mercury lamps, etc. for photography work
The above population is prone to electric ophthalmia, which is characterized by redness and swelling of the eyelids, conjunctival congestion and edema, severe foreign body sensation and pain, and symptoms such as fear of light, tearing, and inability to open the eyes. During the onset of the disease, there may be blurred vision.
In recent years
Many families will purchase their own sterilization lamps or disinfection lamps
Due to many commercially available products
Sterilization lamp or disinfection lamp
It works using ultraviolet radiation
The human eye is sensitive and fragile
Corneal epithelial cells and conjunctiva of the eye
Absorb a large and strong amount of ultraviolet radiation
Electrooptic ophthalmia caused by "light"
And it also increases accordingly
Doctor's special reminder
Home disinfection requires attention to methods and methods:
The exposure time of ultraviolet lamps should not be too long;
The disinfection area should have doors and windows closed, and people should not enter the disinfection area. After disinfection, windows should be opened for ventilation for about half an hour to enter normally;
If skin damage or eye discomfort is found, seek medical attention promptly.
Symptomatic treatment is required for this type of eye disease:
Patients should pay attention to closing their eyes and rest, avoid strong light shining on their eyes, and try not to look at their phones, computer screens, etc;
If wearing contact lenses, they should be removed in a timely manner to reduce corneal irritation and infection.
