350 Strange Allergies (Part II)
"WIFI ALLERGIES, HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF IT? Wu Mian asked.
"......" Daoist Lin was speechless.
In modern society, there is a WIFI signal everywhere, especially at home, there is no way to live without WIFI. Even the old eagle mountain must have a signal, otherwise the people waiting in line to go up the mountain will pass the boring time.
"Why, Uncle Xiao, are you kidding, what you just said means that you can't live without WIFI. Daoist Lin asked.
"No, WIFI allergies are not the same as so-called Internet addictions. Wu Mian said with certainty.
"What's that?"
"Some people show allergic symptoms to all kinds of household appliances, mobile phones and other communication devices, and even all devices such as WIFI that emit electromagnetic wave signals, including headache and dizziness, weakness and fatigue, skin allergies, irregular heartbeat and other symptoms.
The World Health Organization defines it as electromagnetic radiation allergy, or EHS for short. Wu Mian explained to Daoist Lin.
"Uh, can't you use all the appliances?" said Lin Daoshi, who was stunned, this thing sounded even worse than a water allergy. If you can't use all kinds of modern electrical appliances, isn't that about the same as primitive people?
A WHILE AGO, THE WIFI SIGNAL ON THE MOUNTAIN WAS A LITTLE BAD, AND IT ALMOST CAUSED A BIG INCIDENT, CAUSING THE PILGRIMS TO FALL OFF THE CLIFF.
In modern society, people ...... At least most of the country's young people are already inseparable from ubiquitous internet coverage.
"Pretty much. ”
"Isn't that similar to primitive people? Daoist Lin asked.
"They try hard to find a comfortable place to stay, but in modern society, electromagnetic wave transmission equipment such as mobile phones, computers, household appliances, and signal bases make electromagnetic waves everywhere. Wu Mian sighed softly, "This world is hell for them. ”
"I've seen in the literature about a patient who tried to get rid of all the man-made radiation caused by WiFi and so on. To do this, he did not hesitate to spend £1,000 to make the room a completely insulated Faraday cage. ”
Put yourself in a cage? The picture is so beautiful that it's so weird. Uncle Xiao still has research on Shake M?
"Don't think about it, just look at the movement of your eyes and know that what you think is not serious. Wu Mian reprimanded.
"Hey, hey. ”
"The so-called Ferrari cage is an insulating shielding material such as tin foil, which covers a large area on the roof, walls and floor. When he goes to bed at night, he has to sleep in a custom-made silver-plated sleeping bag to have a sense of security against electromagnetic fields and sleep peacefully. ”
"The machine in the patient's Ferrari cage detects the radiation level and reads close to zero. Only then did he get a moment's respite. ”
"It was too painful. Lin Daoshi said.
In 2012, a violinist in England was so uncomfortable with the symptoms that he had to end the pain by dying. "However, I have studied a lot of medical records, and I prefer that it is a mental illness." ”
"Uh......"
"The patient I just mentioned did not have symptoms of electromagnetic allergy when he was a child. "Tracing his medical history, when he was 16 years old, he went to the scene of a famous band, and the musician suddenly pulled out a special pistol and fired it at the ceiling as a live effect.
But from that roar, the patient began a long and painful life of allergies to electromagnetic waves. ”
"There are also several patients who also have a clear medical history, which is the trigger. Some families quarrel and break the TV, while others do municipal maintenance and install a wireless signal system, and suddenly they feel that they have wireless signals in their bodies. ”
"......" Daoist Lin couldn't answer a word.
With that, the two returned to the small courtyard in the back mountain.
Chu Zhixi was reading a book, quietly. Hearing that the door was pushed open, she looked up and saw Wu Mian walking in in a Taoist robe, smiling and winning.
"There are also patients who are allergic to clothes and quilts. Wu Mian walked to the bamboo chair, first reached out and touched Chu Zhixi's head, and said with a smile while lying in the bamboo chair.
"Uh...... So how do they live?"
"A man named Subal Baman in India has been living without clothes since he was 5 years old because of his allergy to clothes, and he is 43 years old this year.
Whenever he comes into contact with clothes, fabrics and other textiles, his body feels tingling, and even at night he can't cover himself with a blanket to keep warm. Wu Mian said, "This is also in India, if you try it in our Northeast, you will already freeze to death." ”
"Huh, why do you talk about allergy patients?" asked Chu Zhixi.
"Just saw a female patient who was allergic to her boyfriend's saliva. Wu Mian said.
"It's rare. Chu Zhixi said, "In 2009, our Union Hospital found a potentially fatal case of running after eating noodles. I was stunned when I saw it, it's okay to eat noodles, but it's okay to exercise vigorously. ”
"Uh, is there still such a situation?" asked Daoist Lin in surprise.
Eating noodles is allergic to a certain substance in the pasta, which is conceivable. But it's okay to eat noodles, it's okay to exercise vigorously...... It's like an insurance policy, and it can be quite difficult to get a clear diagnosis in such cases.
"The case that the girl said is also called food-dependent exercise-induced allergic reaction. In other words, within 6 hours of eating pasta, exercise can induce symptoms of anaphylaxis and even shock, but strangely, if you do not exercise during this period, there will be no allergic reaction. ”
"I'll go!"
"The diagnosis took two years, and many experts from Xiehe were involved in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of this incurable disease. ”
"Uncle Junior, you also participated?"
"I hadn't graduated yet. Wu Mian glanced at Daoist Lin and said, "Old Lin, didn't the girl say it, the matter of 2009." ”
"Uncle Junior, how do you remember these strange things. ”
"I remember it when I see it, and it is useful for the differential diagnosis of many diseases. Wu Mian said, "In our grassroots hospitals, there are many incurable diseases that have been misdiagnosed. It's like a patient who is allergic to strenuous exercise after eating noodles. ”
"But this ......"
"Well, that's not a problem that grassroots hospitals can solve. Wu Mian said with a smile, "The reason why it is a grassroots hospital is that it is not required to be able to solve these things, and if something is found to be wrong, it can be sent to a higher-level hospital." ”
"What about patients with saliva allergies?" asked Daoist Lin.
"Not much, but there are more patients with WIFI allergies, clothing allergies, and even color allergies. Wu Mian said, "JY allergies, this one is more common, about 8.5 per 10,000. ”
Lin Daoist smacked his tongue, ten thousandth...... Is this a common thing?
But if you have seen it, write it down, and ask more questions in case you encounter it in the future. I guess I still have the opportunity to see one or two similar patients in my lifetime.
