Ingaba inja yakho iyabanda xa kubanda kakhulu? Masithethe nge-'Frostbite'!

Sonke siyayithanda ingqele, akunjalo? Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha, ukuba le ngqele iba qatha kancinci, ayilungelanga imizimba yethu. Ingakumbi ukuba uhlala kwindawo ebandayo efana neNuwara Eliya, okanye ukuba uya kwelinye ilizwe ngexesha lekhephu, into endizakuyithetha iya kuba yinto ebaluleke kakhulu kuwe. Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngomonakalo onokwenziwa yingqele egqithisileyo kulusu lwethu. Siyibiza ngokuba yi-'Frostbite'. Njengokuba amanzi ejika abe ngumkhenkce, ulusu lwethu lunokuqandusela xa kuqandusela kakhulu.

Yintoni i-'Frostbite'? Masiyiqonde ngokulula.

Ngamafutshane, 'iFrostbite' kukonakalisa ulusu lwethu kunye nezicubu ezingaphantsi kwayo okubangelwa kukuvezwa kumaqondo obushushu angaphantsi kwe-0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Khawuthelekelele, xa ukwindawo ebanda kakhulu, amanye amalungu omzimba wakho aqala ukubanda njengeetyhubhu zomkhenkce. Le 'yiFrostbite'. Le meko inokwenzeka kakhulu:

• Ebusika obunekhephu.
• Kwiimeko zemozulu ezinomoya. (Umoya wenza umzimba uzive ubanda ngakumbi.)
• Kwiindawo eziphakamileyo kakhulu kunolwandle.
• Ukuba akukho ndawo ifanelekileyo yokuzikhusela emakhazeni.

Khumbula, i-frostbite inokwenzeka nokuba unxibe impahla ebanda kakhulu. Ngamanye amaxesha, i-frostbite ingangena kwiimpahla ize ibangele umonakalo. I-frostbite ngamanye amaxesha inokubangela ukufa kwezicubu okungapheliyo, okungenakuguqulwa. Oku kubizwa ngokuba yi-necrosis ngokwezonyango. Ngoko ke eyona ndlela ilungileyo yokuyiphepha kukunciphisa ixesha lakho kwiindawo ezibandayo kwaye ufudumale rhoqo.

Ukuba ucinga ukuba unesifo seqabaka, phuma emakhazeni uye kwindawo efudumeleyo ngokukhawuleza. Emva koko, funa uncedo lwezonyango ngoko nangoko okanye uye kwigumbi likaxakeka lesibhedlele esikufutshane. Ukwenza njalo kunokunciphisa kakhulu umonakalo wezicubu.

Ngubani ochaphazeleka kakhulu yi-'Frostbite'?

Nabani na ochaphazeleka ngumkhuhlane ogqithisileyo unokufumana i-frostbite. Nangona kunjalo, abanye abantu basengozini enkulu, ingakumbi:

• Kubantwana abancinci abangaphantsi kweminyaka eli-18 ubudala kunye nabo bangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-65 ubudala.
• Kwabo bahlala kwaye basebenza kwiindawo ezinemozulu ebandayo. (Umzekelo, kwabo bahlala kumaphondo afana neNuwara Eliya kwilizwe lethu, okanye kwabo basebenza kumazwe abandayo.)

Zithini amathuba okuba ne-'Frostbite'?

Sinokubona iimpawu ze-'Frostbite' phantsi kwamanqanaba amathathu aphambili. Indlela eziva ngayo itshintsha ngokwala manqanaba: 1. Ukuziva ukubanda, ukurhawuzelela kunye nentlungu `(Frostnip)`: Eli linqanaba lokuqala. Kufana nokuba sibambe iqhekeza lomkhenkce ezandleni zethu, emva kwexesha elithile iminwe yethu iba bomvu, irhawuzelele kwaye ive intlungu encinci. 2. Ukuziva ngathi kukho iinaliti ezihlatywayo (Umphezulu `Frostbite` - `Iqabaka elingaphezulu`): Kule ndawo, amanzi angaphantsi kolusu aqala ukubanda. 3. Ukungaziva kakuhle kunye nokulahlekelwa yimvakalelo (Deep `Frostbite` - `Deep frostbite`): Eli lelona nqanaba liyingozi kakhulu.

Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukufuna uncedo lwezonyango ngokukhawuleza ukuba ubona iimpawu kwisiqendu sesibini okanye sesithathu. Le yindlela yodwa yokuphepha umonakalo wexesha elide.

Injani i-frostbite? Ibonakala njani?

Iimpawu ze-frostbite ziyahluka ngokuxhomekeke kwindawo kunye nobunzima bomonakalo eluswini.

1. `I-Frostnip` (inqanaba lokuqala)

Eli lixesha lesilumkiso `leFrostbite`. Ngeli xesha:

• Ulusu lwakho lunokuba bomvu, mhlawumbi lube mfusa. Okanye ulusu lwakho lunokuba mdaka kunesiqhelo.
• Ulusu lusenokuvakala lubanda kwaye lurhawuzelela, luze lube nentlungu encinci.

2. Iqabaka elingaphandle

Eli lithuba lesibini le-'Frostbite'. Oku ngokuqinisekileyo kufuna unyango.

• Ngeli xesha, ulusu lwakho lusenokuziva lufudumele, kodwa into eyenzekayo kukuba amanzi angaphakathi kolusu lwakho ajika abe ziityhubhu zomkhenkce. (Ulusu lwethu lungaphezulu kwama-60% amanzi!)
• Kunokwenzeka ukuba kubekho imvakalelo "yokuxinana kweenaliti" .
• Ulusu lusenokuvakala ngathi luvuvukile kwaye ludumbile.
• Emva kokuba ulusu lufudunyeziwe, kunokuvela amabala abuhlungu, anemibala, okanye abomvu okanye aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka eluswini.
• Ulusu lusenokuqala ukuxobuka, ngokungathi lutshiswe lilanga.
• Emva kosuku okanye ezimbini , amadyungudyungu azaliswe ngamanzi angase avele.

3. Iqabaka elinzulu

Eli lityala lesithathu nelona linzima kakhulu le-'Frostbite'.

• Ngeli xesha, kwanezicwili ezinzulu ezingaphantsi kolusu (izicwili ezingaphantsi kolusu) ziyabanda.
• Uziva ungenamdla kwaphela kwaye ungakwazi ukuziva nantoni na .
• I-Frostbite ingenza kube nzima ukuhambisa indawo echaphazelekayo, okanye kungenakwenzeka ukuyihambisa ngokuqhelekileyo.
• Ufanele ufune unyango ngokukhawuleza!
• Amadyungudyungu amakhulu anokuvela eluswini emva kosuku okanye ezimbini emva kokuba ebekwe emakhazeni.
• Ulusu luba mnyama njengoko iiseli zolusu zisihla zize zife.
• Ngamanye amaxesha iqokobhe elimnyama neliqinileyo elibizwa ngokuba yi-"carapace" lenziwa eluswini, elinokuthi liwe lodwa. Ukuba aliwenzi njalo, ugqirha uza kulisusa ngotyando.

Eyona nto ibangela ukuba i-frostbite ibe yingozi kukuba inokubangela ukungaziva kakuhle eluswini, nto leyo enokukushiya ungazi nto ingalunganga. Ngoko ke, ukuba unesikrokro sokuba une-frostnip okanye i-frostbite, bonana nogqirha ngokukhawuleza.

Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba ungazi ukuba unesifo se-frostbite?
