Hola amigos de hive, un placer saludarlos de nuevo 😁
Hello friends of hive, a pleasure to greet you again 😁
Every day, our body fights a silent battle, a battle that is imperceptible to us against microscopic but potentially harmful enemies. These invaders are a threat to our health and among them we have bacteria, viruses and parasites. We are usually unaware of this confrontation because our defense mechanism called the immune system repels or eliminates most of these intruders before they cause disease. Sometimes, however, it is the germs that emerge victorious from the battle and when this happens, reinforcements for the troop in the form of drugs and other medical treatments become necessary.
For a long time, little was known about how dangerous pathogens are, but this changed in the 19th century when the connection between microorganisms and the diseases that plague mankind was confirmed, and thanks to advances in the field of medicine we are now better prepared to defend ourselves.
This does not mean that we are out of danger from the actions of these tiny beings because there are still many diseases that continue to threaten the health of people, taking millions of lives every year.
Despite these worrying trends there are preventive measures that can be applied in our personal and family environment, join me to know some of them.
¿Cómo luchar contra los microrganismos y defenderme del contagio?
How can I fight against microorganisms and defend myself against contagion?
Así como en tiempos antiguos para proteger a una ciudad se construía alrededor de esta una fuerte muralla igualmente es nuestro cuerpo como una ciudad amuralla para evitar la entrada de los gérmenes, pero basta con que el enemigo encuentre una brecha para causar estragos a nuestro organismo. la salud depende de cómo cuidemos nuestras defensas. Veamos cómo podemos defendernos.
Just as in ancient times a strong wall was built around a city to protect it, so is our body like a city wall to prevent the entry of germs, but it is enough for the enemy to find a breach to wreak havoc on our body. our health depends on how we take care of our defenses. Let's see how we can defend ourselves.
Las personas
People
El riesgo: en nuestra vida diaria estamos expuestos al contacto con otras personas y estas podrían ser portadora de alguna enfermedad trasmisible y si alguien tose o estornuda estos gérmenes podrían viajar e invadir nuestro cuerpo, también existen microorganismos que logran esparcirse con el roce de la piel por ejemplo si se saluda de mano o un beso en la mejilla. Las manijas de las puertas, pasamanos, teléfonos, computadoras pueden estar contaminados.
Como prevenirlo: evite compartir artículos de uso personal como cepillo de dientes, toallas, afeitadoras entre otros. Lavarse bien las manos con agua y jabón constituye una medida muy eficaz contra el contagio. Si presenta síntomas de alguna enfermedad acuda a su centro de salud más cercano para que sea evaluado por un médico y procure quedarse en casa.
The risk: in our daily life we are exposed to contact with other people and these could be carriers of a communicable disease and if someone coughs or sneezes these germs could travel and invade our body, there are also microorganisms that manage to spread with the touch of the skin for example if you shake hands or a kiss on the cheek. Door handles, handrails, telephones, computers can be contaminated.
How to prevent it: avoid sharing personal items such as toothbrushes, towels, shavers, among others. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water is a very effective measure against contagion. If you show symptoms of any disease, go to your nearest health center to be evaluated by a doctor and try to stay at home.
Los alimentos
Foodstuffs
El riesgo: sin duda los alimentos contaminados y mal preparados constituyen una fuente de infección importante.
Como prevenirlo: lave bien los alimentos antes de consumirlos. Al preparar cualquier alimento lávese bien las manos y procure que el área que se va utilizar este limpia asi como los utensilios de cocina. Cocine bien los alimentos y no mezcle alimentos crudos con los ya preparados.
The risk: there is no doubt that contaminated and poorly prepared food is an important source of infection.
How to prevent it: wash food well before consumption. When preparing any food, wash your hands well and make sure that the area to be used is clean as well as the cooking utensils. Cook food well and do not mix raw food with prepared food.
El agua
Water
El riesgo: el agua es necesaria para la buena salud de nuestro cuerpo, pero esta puede venir contaminada con microorganismos causante de enfermedades y al consumirla constituye una puerta de entrada para que estos gérmenes invadan nuestro cuerpo.
Como prevenirlo: evite el consumo de agua contaminada. Tratar el agua que se usa para consumo por algunos de estos métodos filtración, cloración o hervirla. Guarde el agua potable en un recipiente limpio y cerrado.
The risk: water is necessary for the good health of our body, but it can be contaminated with disease-causing microorganisms and consuming it is a gateway for these germs to invade our body.
How to prevent it: avoid consuming contaminated water. Treat the water used for consumption by some of these methods: filtration, chlorination or boiling. Store drinking water in a clean, closed container.
Animales
Pets
El riesgo: nuestras mascotas también pueden portar microbios que para ellos son inofensivos, pero si una persona entra en contacto con estos pueden poner en riesgo su salud. Si sufrimos una mordedura o arañazo por parte de una mascota u otro animal, o si toca sus heces, ya corre peligro.
Como prevenirlo: lávese las manos después de tocar un animal doméstico y no toque los animales salvajes. Limpie el área que usa su mascota y recoja sus heces usando guantes y los utensilios apropiados para este fin. Lleve a su mascota al médico veterinario para que revise su estado de salud y mantenga actualizadas sus vacunas y desparasítelo siguiendo las indicaciones del especialista.
The risk: our pets can also carry microbes that are harmless to them, but if a person comes into contact with them, they can put their health at risk. If you are bitten or scratched by a pet or other animal, or if you touch their feces, you are already at risk.
How to prevent it: wash your hands after touching a pet and do not touch wild animals. Clean the area your pet uses and pick up its feces using gloves and appropriate utensils for this purpose. Take your pet to the veterinarian to check its health status and keep its vaccinations up to date.
