7 surprising routes Covid-19 can enter your lungs
It can go through the air - but also so as never to think.
You have heard Covid-19 is airborne and a respiratory disease - so how could you get sick of your glasses? Or, subtly picking your nose? The coronavirus works in a mysterious way. Here, some doctors top explain how he can enter your lungs.
Embrace
You should not have close personal contact with people that you are not quarantined.Dr. Sanul CorrielusExplain: "Personal contact with a person infected with the virus embrace - is a direct transfer of the virus between individuals and who can go to the lungs."
Inhaling contaminated air
"Being able to feel someone's breath means that the person is in a spatial and temporal beach to inhale all the particles present in this contaminated air," says Dr. Lili Barsky. "This reinforces the 6 feet more distancing rule!" Another example ofLeann Poston M.Dis: "Walking in the air in which someone comes from coughing or sneezed droplets filled with Viral particles of Covid."
You do not clean your glasses
"The virus can be transmitted through the mucus membrane of the eye or through the heartbreaking conduits that connect the eyes to the nasal cavity and then reach the lungs," says Dr. Jennifer Tsai, aVSP Network Eye Doctor. "That's why keep your glasses clean and do not touch your eyes are so important to keep you and protect your loved ones."
Interconnected air ducts
"In New York, it was noted that most new cases have developed for people who had been in their forties at home and only in their apartments," saidDr. Tsippora Shainhouse, a dermatologist and a pediatrician certified by the Council in Beverly Hills, in private practiceSKINSAFE dermatology and skin care. "It was then discovered that the viral particles became aerosolized and passed through interconnected air ducts, passing germs between the apartments. This is more common in older buildings, rather than the most recent, in which each Unit may be more likely to have its own air system ventilation. "
Speak face to face
"Talking informs more respiratory droplets than normal breathing," says Dr. Shainhouse. "10-15 minutes of conversation to a carrier or infected person while unprotected can significantly increase the risk of inhaling enough viral particles to become infected."
Choose your nose
If there is a good time to drop some bad habits, it's now. "Theoretically, if someone had the virus on their hands, then stuck their finger in their nose, they risk inhaling the virus," says Jan Watson, MD.
Secondary smoke
"Exposure to second-hand smoke can damage the lungs, facilitate pulmonary entrance," says Dr. Barsky. "Some previous studies have suggested that the virus can focus on secondary smoke aerosol particles or electronic cigarettes and propagate further in the smoking environment."
