Wali olabye ebitundutundu by’ebikuta ebiddugavu oba ebya kiragala omuddugavu nga bimera mu bifo ebinyogovu mu maka go —oboolyawo ku bbugwe, mu nsonda y’ekinabiro kyo, oba okumpi n’eddirisa? Wadde nga kyangu okubuusa amaaso, abantu bangi bwe bawulira ekigambo “ekikuta ekiddugavu” bawulira okweraliikirira. Ddala kya bulabe? Kikwata kitya ku bulamu bwo? Leero, ka twogere ku nsonga eno mu ngeri ennyangu, entegeerekeka era egumya.
Black Mold kye ki?
Mu ngeri ennyangu, ekikuta ekiddugavu kika kya ffene. Kifaanagana nnyo n’ekikuta ekimera ku mugaati omukadde, naye kitera okulabika mu langi za kiragala enzirugavu oba enzirugavu. Wadde nga waliwo ebika ebiwerako, ekigambo “ekikuta ekiddugavu” kitera okutegeeza ekika ekigere ekiyitibwa Stachybotrys chartarum (S. chartarum) .
Enkwaso eno ekula bulungi ku bintu ebirimu cellulose . Oyinza okwebuuza ekyo kye ki —cellulose kitundu kya butonde ekisangibwa mu mpapula, ebintu ebikolebwa mu mbaawo, ne mu drywall. Kilowoozeeko ng’obuwuzi obusangibwa mu bibala n’enva endiirwa.
Ekikuta ekiddugavu okusobola okukula, mu ngeri ey’enjawulo kyetaagisa ebbugumu n’obunnyogovu . Eno y’ensonga lwaki otera okugisanga mu bifo ebitera okubeera n’obunnyogovu, gamba ng’ebifo ebyonooneddwa amazzi, ebinabiro, ebisenge ebya wansi n’okwetooloola fuleemu z’amadirisa.
Kyokka, nsaba kino kikuume mu birowoozo: Ku bantu abasinga obungi abalamu obulungi, ekikuta ekiddugavu tekireeta bulwadde bwa maanyi oba embeera eziteeka obulamu bwabwe mu matigga. Tekyetaagisa kusattira mu ngeri eteetaagisa.
Ekikuta ekiddugavu kisobola okukulwaza? Kiba kya bulabe kitya?
Yee, ekikuta ekiddugavu kisobola okukosa abantu abamu. Naddala bw’oba olina alergy eriwo eri ebikuta, mazima ddala esobola okuleetawo okuddamu.
Ekikuta ekiddugavu kifulumya obutundutundu obutonotono obuyitibwa obuwuka obuyitibwa spores mu mpewo. Era ekola eddagala erimanyiddwa nga ‘microbial volatile organic compounds’ (mVOCs) —okuwunya okwo okw’engeri “musty” mu butuufu kava ku mVOCs zino. Bw’oba olina allergy, obuwuka buno oba mVOCs busobola okuleeta obubonero ng’abaserikale b’omubiri bo babukola, ekivaako okuzimba mu nnyindo, amaaso oba amawuggwe. Ne mu bantu abatalina alergy, okubeera n’emiwendo gya mVOCs gino egy’amaanyi oluusi kiyinza okuleeta obuzibu.
Ate era, singa abaserikale b’omubiri bo babeera mu kabi (olw’embeera z’obujjanjabi ezimu oba eddagala eriziyiza abaserikale b’omubiri), okubeera mu kikuta ekiddugavu kiyinza okuvaako obulwadde bwa ffene mu nkola yo ey’okussa oba awalala, ekimanyiddwa nga mycosis .
Kyokka, ekikuta ekiddugavu si kya bulabe nnyo okusinga ebika ebirala eby’ekikuta ekya bulijjo. Ekika kyonna eky’ekikuta kiyinza okuleeta obuzibu mu abo abakikwata.
Kikukwata mangu ki, era ani ali mu bulabe obw’amaanyi?
Engeri gy’okwatamu ekikuta ekiddugavu esinziira ddala ku ngeri gy’owuliramu oba alergy gy’olina. Buli muntu wa njawulo, n’olwekyo by’oyitamu biyinza okwawukana ku by’omuntu omulala.
- Bw’oba olina alergy, obubonero busobola okulabika kumpi amangu ddala ng’ossa obuwuka obuyitibwa spores.
- Bw’oba tolina alergy, oyinza obutalaba bubonero bwonna, oba kiyinza okukutwalira ekiseera ekinene obutabeera bulungi bwonna.
Wadde ng’ekikuta ekiddugavu kisobola okuleeta okunyiiga mu muntu yenna, ebibinja bino wammanga biyinza okufuna obubonero obw’amaanyi ennyo:
- Abo abalina ebyafaayo by'omuntu oba mu maka ga alergy .
- Abantu abalina embeera z'okussa nga asima oba COPD ( Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ) .
- Abantu abatera okubeera mu bifo ebirimu obunnyogovu obungi, empewo embi awaka oba ku mulimu.
- Abantu ssekinnoomu abalina aabaserikale b'omubiri okunafuwa .
Kiki ekibaawo singa ossa ekikuta ekiddugavu? Obubonero bwe buliwa?
Bw’oba olina alergy, okussa obuwuka obuyitibwa black mold spores kivaako alergy. Omubiri gwo guzuula obuwuka buno nga “bulumbaganyi” ne gutandika okubulwanyisa.
Bw’osooka okukwatibwa, abaserikale b’omubiri bo bakola obutoffaali obw’enjawulo obuyitibwa Immunoglobulin E (IgE) . Obuziyiza buno obwa IgE bwesiba ku butoffaali obulimu histamine (mast cells), obusangibwa mu nnyindo yo, olususu, mu nkola y’olubuto n’enkola y’okussa. Singa oddamu okukwatibwa, obutoffaali buno obuwunyiriza bufulumya histamine n’eddagala eddala, nga kino kye kireeta obubonero bwa alergy obw’amangu —emirundi mingi mu sikonda ntono. Eddagala eddala liyinza okuvaako okuzimba okuwangaala.
Obubonero obusinga okulabika ng’omuntu alina ekikuta ekiddugavu mulimu:
- Okusesema
- Okusesema
- Okuzibikira ennyindo
- Okutonnya oluvannyuma lw’ennyindo
- Amaaso amamyufu, aganyiize
Okukwatibwa nakyo kiyinza okusajjula obubonero bwa asima , gamba nga:
- Okuwunya
- Obuzibu mu kussa (okusannyalala) .
- Okusesema okukalu n’okunyiga ekifuba
Ekikuta ekiddugavu kireeta AIPH mu baana abawere?
Nedda Tewali bujulizi bwa sayansi bulaga nti okubeera mu kikuta ekiddugavu kireeta ‘Acute Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemorrhage’ (AIPH) mu baana abawere. AIPH mbeera etali ya bulijjo erimu okuvaamu omusaayi mu mawuggwe. Ate era, ebigambo ebikwataganya ekikuta n’okubulwa okujjukira, okuvaamu omusaayi mu nnyindo enfunda eziwera, okulumwa omubiri oba obuzibu mu birowoozo tebiwagirwa bujulizi. Nsaba temweraliikirira mu ngeri eteetaagisa ku bigambo bino.
Ekikuta ekiddugavu kikula kitya ne kisaasaana kitya?
Ekikuta ekiddugavu kitundu ku butonde bw’ensi. Kibeerawo mu bifo bingi ebweru. Singa amaka go gabaamu embeera entuufu, gasobola okukula ne mu nnyumba —ebiseera ebisinga mu binaabiro, mu bisenge ebya wansi, mu bisenge eby’okwoza engoye, oba mu bifo omuli amazzi agakulukuta. Okusobola okukulaakulana, kyetaaga:
- Amazzi
- Okisigyeni
- Ebbugumu liri wakati wa diguli 40 ne 100 (diguli 4.4 ne 38) .
- Ensibuko ya cellulose (okugeza, drywall, empapula, embaawo) .
Obuwuuka obutonotono obw’ekikuta ekiddugavu buli buli wamu mu mpewo. Ziyingira mu maka go nga ziyita mu madirisa, enzigi, n’ebyuma ebiyingiza empewo, oba okuyingira ku ngoye zo n’ebisolo byo eby’omu nnyumba. Obuwuka buno bwe bumala okukka ku kifo ekinyogovu, butandika okukula okutuusa lwe bulabika n’amaaso.
Omanya otya oba olina alergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu? (Okuzuula obulwadde)
Bw’oba oteebereza nti olina allergy ku black mold, olina okwebuuza ku Allergist okukakasa. Okusinziira ku bubonero bwo, bayinza okukuwa amagezi okukeberebwa mu ngeri ey’enjawulo.
Bigezo ki ebikolebwa?
- Okugezesa okufumita olususu: Mu kukebera kuno, akawuka akatono akaleeta allergen mu kikuta ekiddugavu kayingizibwa mu lususu lwo, ebiseera ebisinga nga bakunyiga nnyo ku mukono gwo ogw’omu maaso oba ku mugongo. Bw’oba olina alergy, akazimba akatono, akamyufu, akasiiwa (wheal) kajja kulabika mu ddakiika nga 15. Okugezesebwa kuno okw’amangu kuyinza okuggwa mu ssaawa ezitakka wansi wa emu.
- Okukebera omusaayi mu IgE: Tukwata akapimo akatono ak’omusaayi okupima omutindo gw’obuziyiza bwa IgE omubiri gwo bwe gukoze nga guddamu ekikuta ekiddugavu. Ebivaamu bitera okutwala wiiki nga emu. Kijjukire nti okukebera kuno oluusi n’oluusi kuyinza okuvaamu ebivuddemu ebikyamu, ekitegeeza nti kuyinza okulaga nti olina alergy ne bwe kiba nga tewali.
Allergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu ejjanjabwa etya?
Wadde nga alergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu tesobola kuwona lubeerera, osobola okuddukanya obulungi obubonero bwo .
Ekisinga obukulu kwe kwewala okukwatibwa ekikuta ekiddugavu. Bw’oba olina amazzi agakulukuta awaka, gaddaabirize mangu. Ggyako ebintu byonna ebifuuse ebikuta.
Okusobola okuyamba okukendeeza ku bubonero bwo, oyinza okulowooza ku bino wammanga:
- Okufukirira ennyindo: Okunaaba ennyindo zo n’omunnyo.
- Eddagala eriweweeza ku buwuka obuleeta endwadde: Empeke/siropu ezitali ku ddagala oba eziwandiikiddwa omusawo okukendeeza ku bubonero bwa alergy.
- Nasal corticosteroids: Ebifuuyira ebikozesebwa okukendeeza ku buzimba mu mikutu gy’ennyindo.
- Ebizigo: Eddagala eriweweeza ku kuzimba ennyindo (lino lirina kukozesebwa kitono so si lya bbanga ddene).
- Empeke za Montelukast: Eddagala oluusi erikozesebwa ku alergy ezenjawulo ne asima.
- Eddagala erissa asima: Eri abo abalina obubonero bwa asima obukwatagana nabyo.
Singa obubonero bwo busigala wadde ng’ofunye obujjanjabi buno, omusawo ayinza okukuwa amagezi ku bujjanjabi bw’abaserikale b’omubiri (amasasi agakwata alergy) .
Ebirongoosa empewo biyamba ku kikuta ekiddugavu?
Okutuuka ku ddaala eritali limu. Ebirongoosa empewo bisobola okuyamba okuggya obuwuka obuyitibwa mold spores okuva mu mpewo , naye tebisobola kuggyawo kikuta kikula ku bintu nga ebisenge oba siringi.
Osaanyaawo otya ekikuta ekiddugavu amangu ddala?
Okuggya ekikuta mu maka go si kyangu. Bw’ogezaako okugiggyawo ggwe kennyini, obeera mu kabi ak’okufuula obuwuka obuyitibwa ‘aerosolizing’, ne busobozesa okusaasaana mu bitundu ebirala eby’awaka wo. Enkola esinga obulungi kwe kusooka okutereeza amazzi agakulukuta. Oluvannyuma, kozesa ekyuma ekirina ekyuma ekisengejja HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) okukendeeza ku buwuka obubeera mu mpewo, okusiba ekisenge ekikoseddwa, n’okupangisa abakugu mu kulongoosa ebikuta.
Oyagala ‘detox’ oluvannyuma lw’okukwatibwa ekikuta ekiddugavu?
Abantu bangi balowooza nti ekikuta kireetera obutwa okuzimba mu mubiri era nti ‘detox’ kyetaagisa. Kyokka tewali bukakafu bwa basawo bulaga nti obutwa bw’ekikuta buleeta obulwadde obw’ensengekera mu bantu obwetaagisa ‘okuggya obutwa’. Enkola esinga obulungi kwe kweggya mu mbeera erimu ekikuta n’onoonya obujjanjabi ku bubonero bwonna bw’oyinza okuba ng’olina.
Oyinza otya okukendeeza ku bulabe bw’okulwala alergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu? (Okuziyiza) .
Wadde nga tosobola kuziyiza mu bujjuvu alergy y’ekikuta, osobola okukola emitendera gino okuziyiza ekikuta ekiddugavu okukula mu maka go :
- Kendeeza obunnyogovu mu maka go. Luubirira okugikuuma wakati wa 30% ne 50%.
- Okutereeza ebintu byonna ebikulukuta mu payipu, ebisenge oba akasolya mu bwangu.
- Ggyawo era osuule ebintu nga kapeti ennyogovu, rugs, emifaliso, drywall oba tile za ceiling ezitakala ddala.
- Kozesa ebyuma ebifulumya omukka mu kinaabiro kyo ne mu ffumbiro.
- Kakasa nti enkola yo eya HVAC erina ekyuma ekisengejja empewo eky’omutindo ogwa waggulu . Kebera oba waliwo ebikulukuta mu nkola eno era ogende buli kiseera omukugu.
Kiki ky’osaanidde okukola singa oba olina alergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu?
Obuwuka obuyitibwa mold spores buli buli wamu mu butonde bwaffe, n’olwekyo tebusobola kwewalibwa ddala. Bw’omala ebiseera mu bitundu ebirimu ekikuta, oyinza okufuna obubonero. Kyokka, singa okendeeza ku bikuta ebiyinza okukula mu maka go, osobola okukendeeza ennyo ku buzibu bwo . Bw’omira eddagala erituufu, osobola okufuga obubonero bwo. Mu mbeera ezimu, obujjanjabi bw’abaserikale b’omubiri busobola n’okukuyamba okutuuka ku mbeera nga tolina bubonero.
Bw’oba oteebereza nti olina alergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu, weebuuze ku musawo wo omukulu oba omukugu mu allergy okukakasa nti ozudde.
Ddi lw’osaanidde okulaba omusawo?
Laba omusawo bw’oba olina obubonero obutasalako obw’allergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu naddala ng’obukosa obulamu bwo obwa bulijjo .
Bibuuzo ki by’osaanidde okubuuza omusawo wo?
- Oyinza otya okukakasa nti nnina allergy y’ekikuta ekiddugavu?
- Eddagala ki erya allergy ly’onteesa?
- Biki ebiva mu ddagala lino?
- Eddagala lino ndimira buli lunaku, oba ng’obubonero bulaga?
- Bwemba nnina embeera endala ez’obulamu, nziddukanya ntya ku mabbali ga alergy eno?
Njawulo ki eriwo wakati w’ekikuta ekiddugavu n’ekikuta?
“Ensigo” si kigambo kya ssaayansi ekituufu. Abamu bakikozesa okunnyonnyola amabala ag’okungulu agava ku kikuta, ate abalala bakikozesa okutegeeza ebika bya ffene ebitongole.
Black mold ffene akula mu bifo ebibuguma era ebinyogovu. Obuwuka bwayo busobola okuleeta alergy mu baserikale b’omubiri gwo, ekivaako obubonero ng’okusesema, okusesema, okuzimba ennyindo n’amaaso amamyufu. Kyokka tebutera kuleeta bulwadde bwa maanyi mu bantu abasinga obungi.
Bw’oba olina obubonero, genda ew’omusawo akukebere okukeberebwa okutuufu n’enteekateeka y’obujjanjabi ey’ekikugu.
Obubaka bwa Nirogi Lanka Okutwala Awaka
Bino bye bintu ebikulu by’olina okujjukira:
- Black mold ffene akula bulungi mu bifo ebirimu obunnyogovu. Tekikosa buli muntu mu ngeri y’emu.
- Okusinga oba mu bulabe singa oba olina allergy eri ekikuta. Obubonero buyinza okuli okusesema, okusesema, okuzimba oba okumyuuka amaaso.
- Ekikuta ekiddugavu mu butonde si kya bulabe okusinga ebika by’ekikuta ebirala. Weewale okutya okuteetaagisa.
- Okuddukanya obunnyogovu mu nnyumba n’okuziyiza ebikuta okukula kye kikulu. Teekateeka ebikulukuta era okakasa nti empewo eyingira bulungi.
- Weegendereze ng’oggyawo ekikuta. Pangisa abakugu bwe kiba kisoboka.
- Noonya abasawo amagezi ku bubonero. Obujjanjabi obulungi buliwo.
- Tekyetaagisa ‘detox’ ya njawulo. Weewale obutonde bw’ensi n’ojjanjaba obubonero ng’obulagirizi bw’abasawo.
Tusuubira nti amawulire gano gayamba. Bw’oba okola ku nsonga z’ekikuta awaka, totya —kwata emitendera emituufu, egy’okusooka.
