Damage to masks and black medical masks on health

 

After the beginning of the second wave of the Covid 19, and with the continuing orders of doctors and officials to use medical masks and masks and take into account social distance, to limit the spread of the Covid 19.

Various types of medical masks appeared and spread, some of which became black. In particular, these masks and masks are mostly cloth and can be used more than once, but a Russian cosmetic specialist made a surprise comment and warned against using black masks and masks because of their harm to health.

Damage and risks of masks and black medical masks to health

Elena Morozova, a Russian cosmetologist, warned against using masks and black masks, saying: 'These masks contain chemical dyes that make the skin sensitive and damaged, and this problem will have negative health effects to the point that the patient complains about them constantly.' In addition, black masks have an unpleasant odor and cause skin sensitivity and damage to the respiratory system due to the components of the black pigment.

Elena stressed the need to use white medical masks free of chemical dyes, and to change or wash them regularly, stressing the need for children to be very careful so that they do not develop health disorders, such as dermatitis and respiratory problems.

Symptoms of Covid 19 diseases

The most common symptoms of Covid-19 disease are fever, fatigue, and dry cough. Other less common symptoms include pain, nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell, skin blemishes, or discoloration of the fingers and toes. These symptoms are usually mild and start gradually, while some people become infected without feeling very mild.

Most people, about 80 percent of those infected with the disease, recover without special treatment, but about one in five people with Covid-19 develop severe symptoms with respiratory problems and a risk of serious complications in the elderly. People with other health problems, such as high blood pressure, heart and lung disease, diabetes and cancer, are also increasing.

 

When to call the doctor

As far as possible, the injured person should, as soon as he exhibits the above symptoms, contact a doctor or health center to refer him to the best medical center.

Everyone of any age should seek medical attention immediately if they develop a fever or cough with difficulty breathing, chest pain, pressure, or loss of speech and movement.

How is the Covid 19  virus transmitted?

Coronavirus is transmitted mainly through respiratory droplets secreted by the person who coughs, and if the patient has other symptoms such as fever or fatigue, the infection can be transmitted from him through contact with it and touching its objects, but many people with Covid-19 does not show only very mild symptoms. You might actually get sick from someone who has a mild cough and is not feeling ill.

Some reports indicate that the Coronavirus can be transmitted even from people who do not have symptoms and the extent of transmission through that is not yet known, and research is ongoing.
