"Wang Yaoshi, the company has disinfected alcohol every day recently. So can we drink some high-value white wine, can we also kill virus ?"
"In ancient times, drinking Tusu wine could ward off the epidemic. Can we also prevent new coronary pneumonia ?"
Recently, yakusha Wang often receives similar messages in the background, mostly questions about whether drinking can effectively prevent novice pneumonia. Many readers of think that the "drinking recipe" used to prevent the epidemic thousands of years ago can also be used for the past and the present, and have the effect on the current COVID-19 epidemic? Since alcohol can inactivate the virus, can the alcohol in white wine be sterilized by sterilization and disinfection? Since so many readers are curious, today Yaoshi Wang will tell you a good talk.
1. Drinking high-value liquor has no effect on preventing new crown !
Let’s first make the conclusion first. The saying of drinking high-concentration liquor to prevent the new crown is purely nonsense! Drinking a lot of alcohol not only has no preventive effect, but may also aggravate other underlying conditions. When the epidemic is in the face of the epidemic, don’t blindly believe in "folk remedies" and take a detour.
Since many readers mentioned "drinking alcohol to avoid plague", then Yaoshi Wang will explain to you where this comes from and why it cannot be used in the prevention and control of the current new crown epidemic?
1. What kind of wine is used to drink "drink alcohol to avoid plague"?
In ancient times, people usually drank pepper and cypress wine and Tusu wine to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings during the Chinese New Year. "Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded that "drinking pepper and cypress wine on New Year's Day can prevent all the plagues and typhoid fever." Tusu wine was recorded in Sun Simiao 's "Preparation for Emergency Qianjin". The so-called "drinking Tusu will ban the qi of the epidemic in the year of the year, and will not contaminate the plague and typhoid fever." When people see this method clearly recorded in ancient books, they can't help but believe it a little more, but can this seemingly reasonable and well-founded method still work?
The answer is no! First of all, the "plague" referred to in ancient times is not the same as the current COVID-19 epidemic. The medical conditions in ancient times were very low. Not only did there be no equipment for specializing in epidemic detection, but the vaccine and drugs were rarely obtained. Even an influenza would cause a large number of people to die. Therefore, the plague they refer to is by no means comparable to the current epidemic. The statement of drinking and epidemic prevention is even more self-deception!
Secondly, the recipes of pepper and cypress wine quoted in ancient times have been mostly lost, and these two wines are just medicinal wines used by ancient people to protect health. They are often used as a New Year to comfort the customs. There is no direct evidence to prove that they really have the effect of preventing and controlling the epidemic, and they must not be regarded as a modern medical prevention and control method to use . Therefore, readers who recommend using ancient methods and present may be disappointed. Drinking has no preventive effect on the current COVID-19 epidemic.
2. Why can’t high-concentration liquor prevent and treat the new crown?
Many people see that alcohol can be disinfected and sterilized, and they feel that drinking high-concentration liquor can also have this effect. However, everyone needs to pay attention to the concentration of alcohol used for disinfection during the epidemic is 70% to 75%. Not to mention whether the so-called high-concentration liquor can meet this standard. The digestive mechanism of the liquor alone after entering the intestines makes the liquor lose its disinfection effect. In vivo sterilization and in vitro sterilization are not the same thing. The wine we drink in the human body will be diluted by gastric juice, which is transformed into the liver and cannot disinfect it in the body at all.
Secondly, the COVID-19 epidemic invades the human body's respiratory tract . Therefore, this "new coronavirus pneumonia" is essentially a respiratory disease, and after you "wine enters the sorrowful intestine", it enters the digestive system . After flowing through the gastrointestinal tract, it is excreted with urine and sweat. The alcohol that can really enter the respiratory system is very small, so how can you prevent the new coronavirus?
2. These 4 things must be done to prevent the new crown!
Now that the national nucleic acid is suspended, the number of -positive infections in Beijing, Guangzhou and other places is still increasing, which has caused many people to be anxious, so that they have become "in a hurry to seek medical treatment" and even the rumors about drinking to prevent the new crown can be believed.In fact, as early as early as 2020, Academician Li Lanjuan had denied the rumor. At that time, the "75% alcohol can be disinfected" she conveyed to the public was misinterpreted as "drinking high-concentration alcohol can resist viruses", which is really ridiculous and ridiculous. Pharmacist Wang here reminds everyone that there is no need to find these "misleading ways" to prevent the new crown. The following 4 points are effective measures to truly prevent the new crown epidemic.
1, vaccination
The current epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe. Although the mutated Omickron strain has greatly reduced the pathogenicity rate, middle-aged and elderly people with underlying diseases still need to be vigilant. countries also recommend that the elderly receive the new crown vaccine as soon as possible, accelerate the construction of the population immune barrier , and protect their lives and health .
2. Reduce going out and take personal protection when necessary
itinerary code after going offline, you do not need to show negative certificate when entering various places, but we still cannot take it lightly. Wear a mask when going out, wash your hands and disinfect them in time when you return home, and take personal protection.
3. Prepare preventive drugs to improve your own immunity
From the current cases, even if they are all positive infections, the symptoms shown are very different. Some people have mild symptoms and can turn negative in a few days, while others have fever and cough, accompanied by increased pain in the throat and body. At this time, we cannot blindly stock up on medicine, but should choose medicine reasonably according to our own characteristics. is a special group such as the elderly and children. It has weak spleen and stomach and is not suitable for sweat-inducing drugs for the great cold and severe fever. Instead, we should choose Xinping agent to prevent . For example, is derived from Jingfang Baidu Powder, and has been recommended as a medicine for the prevention and treatment of new crown by 15 provinces (autonomous regions). The medicine tastes spicy and flat, and is more suitable for mass prevention .
In addition, winter is dry, and many elderly people rarely drink water at home. After symptoms such as sore throat and dry throat will affect their appetite and reduce their immunity. At this time, human intervention is needed to increase the amount of water. If necessary, you can also take silver yellow chloride tablets, cipyrichloride tablets, , etc. to relieve the symptoms in a timely manner.
4. Maintain a good attitude and develop healthy living habits
. The epidemic has not disappeared. At present, we cannot relax our vigilance, nor can we be in danger. A good attitude plays an important role in the healthy operation of our bodies. Even if we are quarantined at home, we must face it with an optimistic and positive attitude, go to bed early and get up early, have a balanced diet, and we must not let go of healthy living habits.
