Recently, as daily temperature differences have rapidly worsened, many people have been visiting hospitals for various diseases, ranging from simple colds to COVID-19, flu, and various sore throats. In particular, the number of visits by people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly and children, appears to be increasing.
As the hot summer passes and the cool fall comes, you may be worried about various diseases that come with them. Moreover, it seems that 'this disease' is likely to become a pandemic recently, so health authorities are paying attention.
So, in today's Synotex newsletter, we will guide you through what 'this disease' is that
we are paying attention to due to the pandemic and what we need to prepare for.
Pandemic once again? New influenza pandemic
COVID-19 can be seen as a terrible disease that has plagued us for about three years. The reason COVID-19 led to a pandemic is not only because there was no treatment or vaccine when it first broke out, but also because it is very contagious, which eventually led to a pandemic.
There is still no perfect vaccine or treatment for COVID-19, and its contagiousness is very high. You must always be careful with COVID-19 because many people are still infected.
However, there is a lot of controversy over the emergence of a disease that could lead to a pandemic after COVID-19. This disease is a new type of influenza. Influenza itself means a cold caused by the influenza virus, a disease that causes high fever and complications such as pneumonia, otitis media, and encephalitis.
New influenza refers to a new disease that occurs among these types of influenza. This new influenza is caused by the commonly known avian flu being transmitted to humans. Originally, avian influenza was known not to be contagious to humans, but recently it has also been introduced to humans. It is becoming a hot topic as it is contagious and causes the first death.
Currently, a vaccine is in the development stage, and because the risk is high in the event of an outbreak, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and health authorities are putting a lot of effort into it.
A new type of influenza that originated from avian influenza Until the first death occurred
It is becoming more and more of an issue as new types of influenza occur in conjunction with the seasonal change when immunity is somewhat low. Since there is still no treatment or vaccine for the new influenza, it can be dangerous if infected, so you should be careful to avoid infection as much as possible.
The new influenza is expected to have a higher mortality rate than COVID-19 so far, and when it develops, it is likely to cause cold-like symptoms such as fever and headache, as well as failure of various organs, leading to septic shock or various complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis. It seems to be high.
The government, including the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and public health authorities, is also quickly preparing, but as the number of deaths has also been reported, it is expected that the high level of contagiousness will lead to a new pandemic, so we must minimize human-to-human transmission as we did with COVID-19.
Then, just like with COVID-19, we will tell you once again what to do to prepare for various infectious diseases.
Essential for preventing infectious diseases Synotex Mask
Many people may be worried about the sudden announcement of a new influencer pandemic recently, and wearing a mask is always essential to prevent infectious diseases. It is the most effective means of preventing infectious diseases because it fundamentally blocks entry into the body.
In particular, it is important to wear a mask because infectious diseases such as the currently prevalent new influenza, flu, COVID-19, and colds are highly infectious through droplets. Also, when wearing a mask, you should not wear just any mask. You must inspect each mask one by one.
If the mask does not completely remove impurities during the manufacturing process and various chemicals are used, you may inhale the carcinogens while wearing the mask, which may lead to the possibility of inhaling carcinogens right away, so you may not be able to just not use it. You must carefully research the masks your family uses before purchasing them.
The Synotex mask is an additive-free mask and is a safe mask that has been tested for non-detection of organic compounds. This additive-free mask causes little skin irritation, so it can be used safely even by children or people with sensitive skin. It is a safe and effective mask that has also been certified by the World Atopy Association and the Korea Fine Dust Association.
In addition, Synotex masks, a specialized filter company with 38 years of experience, block even the smallest particles through 300-nano pores, and because ePTFE filters are ultra-finely processed with a size of only 0.1 to 0.3 µm, they show a blocking power that is completely different from other masks.
The patented design makes it comfortable on the ears even when worn for long periods of time, and the breathing function has been improved by 20%, allowing long-term use without discomfort while breathing.
We hope you always be careful of fine dust and yellow dust in the spring and have a happy spring day with the Synotex mask!
