• Nānā no

Ma hope o kou pale ʻana i ka ua a me ka hau, ke kau flu, a me nā mahina he nui i loko o ka hale, ua makaukau ʻoe no kahi leʻaleʻa wela i ke kauwela. Akā, ma mua o kou hoʻokomo ʻana i kāu ʻauʻau mua a i ʻole nā ​​kaula no kēlā piʻi mua, e hoʻomanaʻo ʻo nā mahina wela kekahi e lawe mai i nā pilikia olakino no nā wahine ikaika. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, hiki iā ʻoe nā manawa maikaʻi i manaʻo nui ʻia, ʻoiai ke hele nei ʻoe i ke kauwela mākaukau. Hiki ke pale ʻia kēlā me kēia ʻenemi mehana-wela, me ka hana pinepine. Penei ka hahau ʻana i nā ʻuala wela o ke kauwela.

Make wai

"ʻO ka dehydration ka pilikia olakino koʻikoʻi loa i ke kauwela," wahi a Christine Wells, Ph.D., ke kaukaʻi emeritus o ka ʻepekema hoʻoikaika kino ma Arizona State University. "A ʻo ka inu wai ʻana wale nō ka pane." E hoʻomaka i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka pō ma mua o kou hoʻolālā ʻana e hana i nā hoʻoikaika kino ma waho: ma ka liʻiliʻi he 8 auneke i ka pō ma mua, a me 2 kīʻaha (16 auneke) ʻelua mau hola ma mua o kou hana.

"Hiki i nā helu sweat ke pāpālua i kahi wela, wela, no laila pono e inu ka wahine i ʻelua mau manawa ke hana ʻo ia i kahi lā wela," wahi a Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., ka mea kākau o ʻAi mana (Kinetics Kanaka, 1998). ʻO ia ka waiho ʻana ma kahi o 18 mau kīʻaha o nā wai i kēlā me kēia lā, ma kahi o ka liʻiliʻi o ke anuanu o 9 mau kīʻaha. I ka wā o kāu hoʻoikaika ʻana, hoʻoiho me 4-8 auneke i kēlā me kēia 20 minuke. A hoʻi ʻoe i ka home, inu inu lawa e pani i nā mea āu e hou aku ai - inā he paona kaupaona o ke kaupaona i kou holo ʻana, e kuapo iā ia me kahi paila wai.

ʻAʻole pono nā papa paʻakai, wahi a Wells. Akā no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ikaika ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi hola, pono ʻoe i nā electrolytes, nā paʻakai e kōkua i kou kino e mālama i ka wai. "Loaʻa nā electrolytes i nā mea inu haʻuki āpau," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "E inu i ka mea ono ia oe."

Hoʻopau wela

ʻO ka make nui loa e alakaʻi i ka luhi wela, kahi maʻi maʻamau no nā mea hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū a me nā mea hoʻoikaika maʻamau. Inā ʻoe e hoʻoikaika kino i ka lā wela a hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻeha ke poʻo, nausea, a i ʻole he woozy liʻiliʻi, me he mea lā ua kū wikiwiki ʻoe, e hoʻomaha koke, hoʻomaha ma ka malu, a inu nui i ka wai. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka wooziness e ke kulu o ke kahe o ke koko, ka hopena o ke hele ʻana o ke koko i ka ʻili - a ʻaʻole lawa ka hele ʻana i ke koena o kou kino - e hoʻāʻo e hoʻoponopono i kāu mahana. ʻO ka hoʻomaha ʻana a me ka hoʻomaha ʻana e ʻae i kou koko e hoʻi i kou ʻili a hoʻi i loko o ka holo maʻamau, a ʻo ka inu ʻana i ka inu ʻana i ka nui e mālama i kou nui o ke koko (e hoʻonui ai i kou kaomi koko, e hoʻihoʻi iā ia i ka maʻamau).

Inā ʻoe e nānā ʻole i kēia mau ʻōuli, holo ʻoe i ka makaʻu o ka heatstroke, kahi hoʻopau hoʻoweliweli i ke ʻōnaehana thermo-regulating o ke kino. "Kū ka Heatstroke ke kū ʻoe i ka hou, e loaʻa ka haʻalulu a maʻule paha," wahi a Wells. "A laila ʻo 911 ka manawa."

Pepeiao ʻauʻau

ʻO kēia maʻi maʻamau o ke kauwela he maʻi ia ma ka puka pepeiao waho i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka wai waiwai bacteria. Maʻalahi ke kilokilo: Kuhi ka ʻeha ma ka pepeiao o waho, a inā ʻoe e ʻūlū i ka piko o kou pepeiao, ʻeha ia. Pehu a ʻulaʻula paha kou pepeiao.

ʻO ka pale ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau maikaʻi loa, wahi a Michael Benninger, M.D., ka luna otolaryngology ma Henry Ford Hospital ma Detroit. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka pepeiao o ka ʻauʻau ma mua, makemake ʻoe e kiʻi hou. "No laila e hana i kahi hui 50-50 o ka ʻānai ʻana i ka waiʻona a me ka vīnega keʻokeʻo, a kau i kekahi mau kulu i kēlā me kēia pepeiao ma hope o kou ʻauʻau ʻana," ʻōlelo aʻo ʻo Benninger. Ke hoʻomaloʻo nei ka wai ʻānai ʻōpala, a hana ka vīnega waikawa i kahi ʻano bacteria-hostile. Inā paʻa ka maʻi, hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia ka hui ʻana o ka waiʻona/winika inā loaʻa koke ʻoe. Akā pono ʻoe e kiʻi i nā kulu antibiotic kuhikuhi. "Inā ʻeha, hoʻoheheʻe ʻia, a ua emi kou lohe ʻana, e kiʻi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau," wahi a Benninger.

Hoʻohana nui i nā ʻeha

"I ka hiki ʻana mai o ka pūnāwai, ʻike mākou i ka tendinitis hou, nā haʻihaʻi stress, nā huki ʻana o nā mākala, a me nā mea ʻeha ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana ʻia," wahi a Lewis Maharam, M.D., pelekikena o ka mokuna New York o ka American College of Sports Medicine. "Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻoilo, e ʻoluʻolu ʻoe i ka haʻuki, mai lele i loko." ʻO ka nui o ka manawa āu e hoʻolōʻihi ai i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ikaika ʻana i kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kou waiho ʻia ʻana me kahi hōʻeha e hiki mai ana i Iulai.

Pahū

'O ka hapanui o nā pūlū e hopenaʻia mai nā kāmaʻa ponoʻole a mai nā kākini i puluʻia i ka hou, ke hāʻule ka lole momona, kaumaha i kouʻili. "E ʻaʻe i nā kākini i hana ʻia me [nā lole like] CoolMax a i ʻole SmartWool," wahi a Christine Wells. "Hiki iā lākou ke pale i nā palapū no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou e omo i ka nui o ka hou."

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi maʻi, e hoʻāʻo i ka hoʻopunipuni i hoʻohana ʻia e ka poʻe holo mamao: Goop Vaseline ma kahi pilikia, e hoʻokomo i kou mau pūkini a me nā kāmaʻa, a kuʻi i ke alanui. He gooey paha kāu kākoi, akā na ka Vaseline e hoʻēmi i ka hakina a ʻaʻole hoʻonāukiuki ka hū iā ʻoe. Inā he palupalu ka palu, kahi Band-Aid a i ʻole ʻāpana o ka ʻili moleskin a i ʻole ka ʻili ʻelua (me ka ʻole o Vaseline) pono e hāʻawi i ka palekana no ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka holo, kaʻa paikikala a hele wāwae paha.

I ka manawa e hana ai kahi palapū, pale aku i ka makemake e pop ia. "ʻO ia wale ka wai o ke kino i loko o loko, a inā ʻoe e pope, e maʻi paha ia," wahi a John Wolf, M.D., ka luna o dermatology ma ke Kulanui ʻo Baylor College. Inā paʻa wale ia, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a kau i ka ʻaila antibiotic. Inā loaʻa kahi maʻi, e hele koke i ke kauka: No ka mea, wehe lākou i kahi ʻāpana nui o ka ʻili pale, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka maʻi ʻino ma mua o nā ʻoki liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻōpala; inā hele a maʻi ka maʻi blister, e ʻike koke i ke kauka.

Kuʻi mea kanu: Poison ivy, ʻoka a me sumac

ʻO nā ʻenemi i ka poʻe hele wāwae a me nā kaʻa kaʻa mauna, ʻo kēia mau mea kanu ke kumu o ka ʻino ʻino i hiki ke mau i ʻelua pule. Kūleʻa lākou i ke kauwela, e ulu nei kokoke i nā wahi āpau o nā mokuʻāina koe ʻo Hawaii, Nevada a me Alaska (ʻaʻole ulu ka ivy make ma Kaleponi, a aia wale nō ka sumac i nā moku hikina wale nō). Ma muli o ko lākou ʻokoʻa ʻana i ka nui a me ka waihoʻoluʻu e pili ana i kahi o ka ʻāina a lākou e ulu nei, hiki ke paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka lāʻau ʻoka a me ka ivy. No laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hōʻalo wale i nā kumulāʻau a i ʻole ke kumulāʻau me ʻekolu lau ma hoʻokahi koʻokoʻo. (Hoʻomanaʻo i ka pahi kahiko, "Leaves of three, let them be.") Poison sumac has pasanganana, kuhikuhi lau, i kekahi manawa me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo. ʻO kahi kalima hou loa i kapa ʻia ʻo IvyBlock e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i nā aila mea kanu mai loko mai o ka ʻili, no laila he mea pono ke hoʻāʻo inā ʻike ʻoe kokoke ʻoe i kēia mau mea kanu.

Inā manaʻo ʻoe ua hoʻopā ʻoe i kekahi ʻoka, ivy a sumac paha, mai hoʻopā i kou alo, nā ʻāpana kino ʻē aʻe a i ʻole nā ​​kānaka ʻē aʻe no ka mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolaha i nā aila mea kanu e kumu ai ka ʻūlū. E hoʻi i ka hale a holoi i nā wahi āpau me ke kopa a me ka wai mahana; a laila holoi i kou kapa. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi ʻino, e mālama iā ʻoe iho me nā mea hoʻomaloʻo ʻoluʻolu a pulu a me ka ʻaila hydrocortisone ma luna o ka counter e pale aku i ka pehu a me ka ʻili. "Inā he hihia koʻikoʻi ia - kahi e hoʻolaha ai ka hū ma luna o ka hapa nui o kou kino, keu hoʻi i ka maka a i ʻole kokoke i kou mau maka, e ʻike i ke kauka," wahi a Wolf. "Pono ʻoe i cortisone waha."

ʻEha anu/ ʻāhu kuni

ʻO ka hōʻike ʻana i ka lā ke kumu o kēia mau lehelehe lehelehe ʻino e lele i luna. ʻO ia no ka hopena o nā kukuna UV me ka maʻi hōʻeha anuanu-ʻeha a kumu e hoʻoulu hou. E mālama mau i kou mau lehelehe me ka lepe lepe me ka pale o ka lā. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻeha a i ʻole ka maʻi kuni, e hoʻomau i ka uhi ʻia me ka balsama, a e hoʻāʻo e pale i ka lā a hiki i ka nalo ʻana.

ʻBurnʻula lā

ʻAe, ʻike mākou a pau i ke koʻikoʻi o ia mea, akā ʻaʻole lawa ka nui o mākou e hoʻohana maoli i ka pale lā: ʻO ka hapakolu o ka poʻe e hoʻolimalima manawa ma waho ʻaʻole. I kēia manawa, hōʻike ka American Academy of Dermatology e piʻi mau ana ka melanoma - i pili pinepine ʻia i ka ʻike ʻana o ka lā, e koi ana ma kahi o 7,300 mau ola ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 1999.

Mai hele i waho i waho me ka uhi ʻole o kahi ākea ākea (ālai ʻia i nā kukuna UVA a me UVB) pale o ka lā ma kahi o SPF 15. "E hoʻopili iā 30 mau minuke ma mua o kou haʻalele ʻana i ka hale no laila e paʻa ia i kou ʻili," wahi a Wolf. "A inā ʻoe e hoʻoluhi a ʻauʻau paha, e hoʻohana i ka pale lā i ka wai, a hoʻopili hou i kēlā me kēia ʻelua hola." Eia kekahi, e kaupalena i ka ʻike ʻana o ka lā ma ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka hoʻoikaika kino ma waho ma mua o ka hola 10 a.

Inā mālama ʻole ʻoe e pili ana i ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka pale o ka lā, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke pale i ka ʻeha lā inā ʻoe e hana koke ma ka lawe ʻana i ka ibuprofen a i ʻole ka aspirin i kēia manawa. "Ma muli o ka hala ʻana o ka lā i ʻeono a ʻewalu mau hola e hoʻomohala pono ai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokū i ka nui o ka ʻula a me ka ʻeha ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ka lawe ʻana i kēia mau mea. Manaʻo pū ʻo ia i ka ʻauʻau ʻauʻau -- ʻaʻole wela no ka mea e hoʻonā ai i ka ʻili ʻeha - i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me ka oatmeal, kahi hoʻoluʻu maikaʻi o ka ʻili. A inā hoʻomohala ʻoe i kahi lā lā e hele a pīpī a hoʻomaka i ka peel, ʻōlelo ʻo Wolf e lawe iā Benadryl, kahi e kinai ai ka ʻili.

He kano hou no ka maʻi Lyme

I ke kauwela a me ke kauwela, mānoanoa ka wahie me kahi hua hou o nā ʻōniʻoniʻo ʻōkala no kahi kino mahana. A inā he kikiki nā dia a i ʻole nā ​​ʻeke ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele o ka Pākīpika, lawe paha lākou i ka maʻi ʻo Lyme. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia he make, hiki i kēia maʻi ke hoʻonāwaliwali: ʻO nā ʻōuli, ka mea ʻokoʻa loa a ʻaʻole paha e ʻike ʻia a hala nā pule ma hope o ka nahu ʻana, e hoʻopili pū me ka maka o ka "bull's-eye" lōʻihi (ma kahi o ka nahu a ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe paha), fever, aches, ʻino a, i ka poʻe i mālama ʻole ʻia ma hope o ʻelua mahina, ʻo ka maʻi arthritis mau. (Aia kahi hōʻoia koko e ʻike iā Lyme, akā ʻaʻole hilinaʻi mau ia.)

ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi no ka poʻe e noho ana ma nā wahi maʻi ʻo Lyme (ka East Coast, Minnesota, Wisconsin a me ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o Kaleponi Kaleponi) ka hoʻolauna o kahi lāʻau lapaʻau i ka makahiki 1999. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka lāʻau lapaʻau a hiki i kou loaʻa ʻana o ʻekolu mau kī ʻana - maʻamau ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki, ʻoiai hāʻawi kekahi mau kauka iā ia ma kahi papa ʻeono mahina. I kēia manawa, e ʻaʻahu i nā lole ʻulaʻula a nānā i nā kiko liʻiliʻi, poepoe, ʻeleʻele ma hope o kēlā me kēia puka. Paipai nā Centres for Disease Control me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea ʻenemi i loaʻa iā DEET. (ʻO DEET wale nō ka kemika e mālama pono i nā ticks, a manaʻo ka CDC he palekana ia ma nā koina i kikoʻī ʻia i ka wahī o ka repactor.)

Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi tick imbedded, huki pono me nā tweezers a hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka ʻeha me ka antiseptic. Inā ulu kahi wīwī, pono kahi antibiotic e pale i nā ʻōuli koʻikoʻi hou aʻe mai ka hoʻomohala ʻana. Inā loaʻa i ka wanaʻao, pono ʻoe i ʻekolu a ʻehā mau pule o kahi antibiotic waha e like me amoxicillin. Inā hopu ʻia kekahi mau pule ma hope, pono paha ʻoe i nā pana penicillin no ʻehā pule. No ka emi ʻana o ka maikaʻi o nā lāʻau lapaʻau i ka wā i paʻa ai ka maʻi, pono paha ʻoe e koi hou i nā lāʻau lapaʻau waha a i ʻole nā ​​​​antibiotic.
