远离秋天过敏症候群

简介∶秋高气爽虽然让人感到舒适、心情沉静，但过敏、呼吸道不适等问题也相对容易发生。本文带你了解一些秋天常见的症状与因应之道，让你不再为秋天过敏所扰。

Steer Clear of Allergies and Irritants This Fall

With bacteria breeding and hay fever running riot, summer might seem like the season for allergies and irritations, but fall is not without its share of pesky complaints. Here are some of the most common.

Dust Mites
These tiny insects are common indoor allergens. They are more prevalent in summer but can still wreak havoc as people start to spend more time indoors when the temperature drops. Studies show asthma instances rising as children return to school, a haven for the critters. The dust storms that blow into Taiwan from China are also an obvious threat to the allergy sufferer.

Mold Spores
Taiwan’s wet climate makes mold and other fungi inevitable. Like dust, mold spores can cause sneezing, runny noses, congestion and asthma symptoms. In some cases, they can lead to serious chest conditions.

Cold Air
Although it’s not an allergen itself, the colder autumn weather can cause dryness, irritation and swelling of the nose, mouth and eyes. When the delicate tissue in the throat gets swollen, breathing can cause discomfort. In some instances, cold air can even damage the lungs.


远离秋天过敏症候群

细菌孳生与花粉症猖獗的夏日或许像是容易产生过敏和不适的季节，但秋季仍免不了会出现这些恼人的不适症状。以下是最常见的几个情形。

尘蟎
这些微小的昆虫是常见的室内过敏原。尘蟎 在夏天更为横行，但随气温下滑人们花更多时间待在室内时，尘蟎 仍会造成破坏。研究显示当学童返回学校这个尘蟎 的温床时，气喘病例就会增加。从中国吹向台湾的沙尘暴对饱受过敏之苦的人来说也是明显的一大威胁。

酶菌孢子
台湾的潮湿气候不可避免地会孳生酶菌和其他真菌。如同灰尘，酶菌孢子可能会导致打喷嚏、流鼻水、鼻塞和气喘等症状。在一些病例中还可能造成严重的胸腔问题。

冷空气
虽然较冷的秋季天气本身并非过敏原，但会导致鼻子、嘴巴和眼睛的乾涩、不适与肿胀。当喉咙的脆弱组织肿胀时，呼吸可能会导致不适。在一些情况下冷空气甚至会损害肺部。
