Qingming is a day of remembrance and also a day of encountering spring. The warm breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, and the plants and trees are adorned with new ideas. Many people take advantage of their leisure time to step out of their homes and go on a date with the spring sun. But beneath the beauty, there are many hidden dangers that are easily overlooked. If you don't pay attention, the good mood of going for an outing may be greatly reduced.

Romantic Crash: Taking Photos Under Flowers, Pollen Secretly Hurts Skin
        Who doesn't want to take a set of beautiful photos under the flowers during their outing? Sunshine, petals, and breeze, every snap is an atmospheric blockbuster. Not long after finishing the photoshoot, my face turned red and itchy, and even a small rash appeared, all of which were invisible pollen playing tricks! Many people think that pollen allergy is just sneezing or runny nose, but in fact, skin contact with pollen can also be a "trick". Qingming is the peak season for pollen transmission. The pollen of peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and rapeseed flowers is thin and light, and when the wind blows, it sticks to the face and neck, quietly breaking down the skin barrier. Sensitive muscles are particularly affected, and the closer you get, the higher the probability of being hit.

Tips for avoiding pitfalls:
       Take photos and keep a distance of at least 30 centimeters. Do not touch the petals with your hands
        Wash your face and hands with warm water in a timely manner after taking photos, wipe them dry, and apply a mild moisturizing cream
        Sensitive skin can wear a thin mask, which not only provides sun protection but also blocks pollen
Invisible 'Assassin': Staphylus, getting hurt the more you hit
       When going to the outskirts or grasslands during Qingming Festival, one can often see a type of insect that looks like small ants - the hermit beetle - in the evening or after rain. It doesn't bite or be aggressive, but its body contains corrosive fluids. Once you reach out and pat or squeeze it to death, the juice splashes onto the skin, instantly causing inflammation: redness, burning, blisters, itching and pain, and in severe cases, pigmentation, which takes several months to completely subside.

Tips for avoiding pitfalls:
       Don't pat or pinch this slender little bug! Gently blow away or wipe off with a tissue
       In the evening and after rain, go to the countryside, wear long sleeves and pants, and tie the cuffs and cuffs tightly
       Rinse immediately with clean water if you come into contact with the juice, and seek medical attention promptly if it is severe
Foodies' Collapse ': Eating wild vegetables and basking in the sun, causing serious skin damage
       Eating spring vegetables during Qingming Festival is a custom engraved in our bones. Dig a handful of fresh shepherd's purse, pick a handful of tender fragrant Chinese toon, bite it down in one bite, and your mouth will be fragrant. After eating these, it's easy to get sunburned, which can easily lead to dermatitis. Good oral hygiene can become a burden on the skin. Just because they are all "photosensitive vegetables", the special substances inside will be activated when exposed to ultraviolet light, causing skin redness and itching, which is called photosensitive dermatitis.

Tips for avoiding pitfalls:
       Within 1-2 hours after finishing spring vegetables, avoid exposure to direct sunlight at noon
       If you want to go out, please take care of sun protection: apply sunscreen, wear a hat
       For sensitive skin, it is recommended to try a small amount and observe if there is no discomfort before eating with confidence

       The beauty of spring is worth appreciating with the eyes and feeling with the heart, rather than remembering with redness, swelling, and itching. May you laugh freely under the flowers, run to your heart's content on the grass, and taste the flavors of the season in spring vegetables. Finally, Laiwo Medical wishes everyone good health and prosperity during the Qingming Festival.
