The National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention issued the core information of flood disaster health education to prevent all kinds of secondary disasters.

　　CCTV News: As the flood season approaches, the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention recently released the core information of health education on flood disasters, reminding the public to take precautions against various secondary disasters, maintain healthy and hygienic habits, and make health preparations in advance.

　　Floods are easy to cause pollution of drinking water sources, and the risk of outbreaks of water-borne and food-borne diseases such as infectious diarrhea and dysentery increases. Floods flooded septic tanks, sewers, etc., leading to the corruption of animal carcasses and the breeding of mosquitoes and flies. The risk of insect-borne infectious diseases such as schistosomiasis and Japanese encephalitis and natural foci increases accordingly.

　　The National Bureau of Disease Control reminds the public not to drink raw water, and it is best to drink boiled water, bottled water and bottled water when conditions permit. Floods contain decaying animal and plant debris, bacteria, parasites and viruses. Even if you use river water, mountain stream water, well water, spring water or lake water that looks clean to the naked eye, it is dangerous to drink it directly. If you have to drink it, clarify and disinfect it with alum and bleaching powder, and boil it for at least 5 minutes before drinking. Do not eat spoiled food, or drown or die of livestock and poultry.

　　Avoid soaking hands and feet in water for a long time to prevent skin ulceration and dermatosis. When working in the water, you should take a rest every 1-2 hours. Avoid passing through waterlogged sections during floods, which can cover deep pits in water and drop wires, and avoid wading through to prevent accidental injuries.

　　Do a good job in preventing flies, rats and mosquitoes to prevent intestinal and insect-borne infectious diseases. Wash your hands frequently and do not share personal hygiene products such as towels. Unclean hands can infect intestinal infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever, hepatitis A and cholera, and contact infectious diseases such as "pink eye". If you have fever, vomiting, diarrhea, rash and other symptoms, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

　　There are still risks of schistosomiasis transmission in some provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. In schistosomiasis endemic areas, try not to touch infected water, and personal protection should be done when contact is necessary. Be careful to contact with wild water bodies, and it is forbidden to graze in Luozhou Beach.
