Ingabe inja yakho iyabanda emakhazeni amakhulu? Ake sixoxe nge-'Frostbite'!

Sonke siyawuthanda umkhuhlane, akunjalo? Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi, uma lomkhuhlane uba nzima kancane, awulungele imizimba yethu. Ikakhulukazi uma uhlala endaweni ebandayo njengeNuwara Eliya, noma uma uya kwelinye izwe ngesikhathi seqhwa, engizokusho kuzoba kubaluleke kakhulu kuwe. Namuhla sizokhuluma ngomonakalo ongenziwa umkhuhlane omkhulu esikhumbeni sethu. Lokhu sikubiza ngokuthi 'i-Frostbite'. Njengoba nje amanzi ephenduka iqhwa, isikhumba sethu singabanda uma kubanda kakhulu.

Kuyini 'i-Frostbite'? Ake sikuqonde kalula.

Kalula nje, i-'Frostbite' iwumonakalo esikhumbeni sethu nasezicutshini ezingaphansi kwayo obangelwa ukuchayeka emazingeni okushisa angaphansi kwama-degree Celsius angu-0 (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Cabanga nje, uma usesimeni esibandayo kakhulu, ezinye izingxenye zomzimba wakho ziqala ukubanda njengezingcezu zeqhwa. Lokhu 'i-Frostbite'. Lesi simo kungenzeka kakhulu:

• Ebusika obuneqhwa.
• Ezimweni zezulu ezinomoya. (Umoya wenza umzimba uzizwe ubanda kakhulu.)
• Ezindaweni eziphakeme kakhulu kunezinga lolwandle.
• Uma kungekho ndawo yokukhosela efanelekile yokuzivikela emakhazeni.

Khumbula, ukuqunjelwa kungavela ngisho noma ugqoke izingubo zesimo sezulu esibandayo. Ngezinye izikhathi, umkhuhlane ungangena ezingutsheni bese ubangela umonakalo. Ukuqunjelwa ngezinye izikhathi kungabangela ukufa kwezicubu okungapheli, okungenakuguqulwa. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-necrosis ngokwezokwelapha. Ngakho-ke indlela engcono kakhulu yokukugwema ukukhawulela isikhathi sakho ezindaweni ezibandayo nokufudumala njalo.

Uma ucabanga ukuthi unesifo sofuba, phuma emakhazeni uye endaweni efudumele ngokushesha okukhulu. Bese, funa usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha noma uye egumbini lezimo eziphuthumayo esibhedlela esiseduze. Ukwenza kanjalo kunganciphisa kakhulu ukulimala kwezicubu.

Ubani othinteka kakhulu yi-'Frostbite'?

Noma ubani obhekene nomkhuhlane omkhulu angaba ne-frostbite. Kodwa-ke, abanye abantu basengozini enkulu, ikakhulukazi:

• Kubantwana abancane abangaphansi kweminyaka eyi-18 kanye nalabo abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-65 ubudala.
• Kulabo abahlala futhi abasebenza ezindaweni ezinesimo sezulu esibandayo. (Isibonelo, kulabo abahlala ezifundazweni ezifana neNuwara Eliya ezweni lethu, noma kulabo abasebenza emazweni abandayo.)
• Kulabo abangenazo izindawo zokuhlala ezifanele.
• Kulabo abanezimo ezithile zezokwelapha eziyisisekelo. Isibonelo:
• Isifo semithambo yegazi engaphandle
• `Ukungondleki`
• Isifo sikaRaynaud
• I-Hypothyroidism (indlala yegilo engasebenzi kahle)
• `I-Arthritis` (I-Arthritis/ Ukuvuvukala Kwamalunga)
• Isifo Sikashukela (Isifo sikashukela )
• Kulabo abasebenzisa imikhiqizo kagwayi . ( Ukubhema kungathinta ukujikeleza kwegazi.)

Amacala okushaywa yiqhwa awabikwa kaningi kunakuqala, ngokwengxenye ngoba abantu manje sebengathola kalula izingubo ezingabandi futhi sebeqaphela kakhulu izingozi zokushaywa yiqhwa nokuthi bangazivikela kanjani kukho.

Angakanani amathuba okuba ne-'Frostbite'?

Singazibona izimpawu ze-'Frostbite' ngaphansi kwezigaba ezintathu eziyinhloko. Indlela ezwakala ngayo iyashintsha ngokuya ngalezi zigaba: 1. Ukuzwa ukubanda, ukuqaqamba kanye nobuhlungu `(Frostnip)`: Lesi yisigaba sokuqala. Kufana nalapho sibambe i-ice cube ezandleni zethu, ngemva kwesikhashana iminwe yethu iba bomvu, iqhume futhi izwa ubuhlungu obuncane. 2. Ukuzwa sengathi izinaliti ziyahlatshwa (Umphezulu `Frostbite` - `Uqhume olungaphandle`): Kuleli qophelo, amanzi angaphansi kwesikhumba aqala ukubanda. 3. Ukuba ndikindiki nokulahlekelwa umuzwa (`Uqhume olujulile` - `Uqhume olujulile`): Lesi yisigaba esiyingozi kakhulu.

Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukufuna usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha uma ubona izimpawu esiwombeni sesibili noma sesithathu. Lena yindlela kuphela yokugwema umonakalo wesikhathi eside.

Kuzwakala kanjani ukuba neqhwa? Kubukeka kanjani?

Izimpawu ze-frostbite ziyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi indawo kanye nobukhulu bomonakalo esikhumbeni.

1. `I-Frostnip` (isigaba sokuqala)

Lesi yisikhathi sesixwayiso se-'Frostbite'. Ngalesi sikhathi:

• Isikhumba sakho singase sibe bomvu, mhlawumbe sibe nsomi. Noma isikhumba sakho singase sibe mhlophe kunokujwayelekile.
• Isikhumba singase sizizwe sibanda futhi sibuhlungu kancane.
• Umonakalo esikhumbeni kulesi sigaba uvame ukuba wesikhashana.

Okufanele ukwenze? Uma nje ubona lezi zimpawu , ngena endlini noma endaweni efudumele. Bese ufudumeza isikhumba esithintekile ngamanzi afudumele (angashisi!) . Ngemuva kwalokho, ungase uveze amabhamuza amancane abomvu abizwa ngokuthi "amaChilblain" esikhumbeni sakho. Ngisho noma unalezi zimpawu ezincane, bona udokotela, ngoba ngezinye izikhathi kungase kube nomonakalo ongabonakali.

2. Ukulunywa yiqhwa okungabonakali

Lesi yisibonelo sesibili se-'Frostbite'. Lokhu kudinga ngempela ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha.

• Kuleli qophelo, isikhumba sakho singase sizizwe sifudumele, kodwa okwenzekayo ngempela ukuthi amanzi angaphakathi kwesikhumba sakho aphenduka ama-ice cubes. (Isikhumba sethu singaphezu kuka-60% wamanzi!)
• Kungase kube nomuzwa wokuthi "izikhonkwane nezinaliti" .
• Isikhumba singase sizwakale sivuvukile futhi sivuvukile.
• Ngemva kokuba isikhumba sesifudunyeziwe, kungase kuvele amabala abuhlungu, anamabala, noma anombala onsomi noma aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka esikhumbeni.
• Isikhumba singase siqale ukuxebuka, njengokungathi sishiswe yilanga.
• Ngemva kosuku olulodwa noma ezimbili , kungase kwakheke amabhamuza agcwele amanzi .

3. Ukushisa okukhulu kweqhwa

Lesi yisimo sesithathu nesibucayi kakhulu se-'Frostbite'.

• Ngalesi sikhathi, ngisho nezicubu ezijulile ngaphansi kwesikhumba (izicubu ezingaphansi kwesikhumba) ziyaqina.
• Uzizwa ungenamizwa ngokuphelele futhi ungakwazi ukuzwa lutho .
• Ukulunywa yiqhwa kungenza kube nzima ukuhambisa indawo ethintekile, noma kungase kungenzeki ukuyihambisa ngendlela evamile.
• Udinga ukufuna usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha!
• Amabhamuza amakhulu angavela esikhumbeni ngosuku noma ezimbili ngemva kokuchayeka emakhazeni.
• Isikhumba siba mnyama njengoba amangqamuzana esikhumba ewa futhi efa.
• Ngezinye izikhathi kwakheka igobolondo elimnyama, eliqinile elibizwa ngokuthi "i-carapace" esikhumbeni, elingase liwe lodwa. Uma lingawi, udokotela uzolisusa ngokuhlinzwa.

Isizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi i-frostbite iyingozi kangaka ukuthi ingabangela ukungazweli esikhumbeni, okungakushiya ungazi lutho olungalungile. Ngakho-ke, uma usola ngisho nokuncane ukuthi une-frostnip noma i-frostbite, bheka udokotela ngokushesha.

Kungenzeka yini ukungazi ukuthi unesifo sofuba?

Yebo, ungakwazi. Abantu abaningi abathola i-frostbite abaqapheli nokuthi banayo. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-frostbite iqeda imizwa yakho futhi ingabangela umonakalo omkhulu esikhumbeni sakho. Ungase ungaboni ngisho nezimpawu uze ubuya emakhazeni. Yingakho kubalulekile ukunciphisa isikhathi sakho ngaphandle esimweni sezulu esibanda kakhulu.

I-frostbite ivame ukuvela kuphi?

I-Frostbite empeleni ingavela noma kuphi esikhumbeni. Kodwa-ke, ivame kakhulu emaphethelweni . Lezi yizindawo ezichayeka kakhulu emakhazeni, ngisho noma zimbozwe kahle ngezingubo:

• Izandla neminwe
• Imilenze nezinzwane
• Ubuso nekhala
• Izindlebe

Ngingazi kanjani ukuthi ingane yami ine-frostbite?

Lona umbuzo onzima kancane. Izinsana ezincane azilwi njengezinkulu ngoba azinawo amandla amaningi agcinwe emizimbeni yazo. Izingane ezindala ngokuvamile aziqapheli nokuthi zinomkhuhlane lapho zidlala ngaphandle.
