Ewe! Intlabathi yaseLwandle inokuthi ihlaselwe yi-E. Coli

Akukho nto ithi ihlobo njengeentsuku ezinde ezichithwe elunxwemeni-ilanga, isanti, kunye ne-surf zibonelela ngendlela efanelekileyo yokuphumla kwaye ufumane ivithamin D yakho (singasathethi ke ngeenwele ezimnandi zaselwandle). Kodwa unokufumana okungakumbi emva kwemini yakho elunxwemeni kunokuba uxoxisene: Emva kokuphanda iilwandle ezidumileyo eHawaii, abaphandi abavela kwiDyunivesithi yaseHawaii bafumanise ukuba iintsholongwane ziyaluthanda ulwandle njengabantu. Kuyavela ukuba, isanti ibiqulathe amanqanaba aphezulu eebugs ezimbi njengoE. Coli.

Abaphandi bafumanise ukuba isanti efudumeleyo, efumileyo inika indawo efanelekileyo yokuzalela iintsholongwane eziziswe ngamanzi amdaka, amanzi amdaka, okanye inkunkuma elahlwe elunxwemeni. “Intlabathi yolwandle kufuneka iqwalaselwe ngononophelo xa kuvavanywa ifuthe layo kwimpilo yoluntu,” walumkisa watsho umbhali ophambili uTao Yan, Ph.D. Isiphumo esisecaleni kwimvakwemini yakho egqibeleleyo kwisanti engcolisekileyo? Izinto ezinjengorhudo, ukugabha, irhashalala kunye nosulelo, ababhali besifundo bayalumkisa. (Nokuba sesinye sezi-4 oonobangela bothusayo boSulelo boGonyamelo lwe-Urinary-ew!)

Kodwa musa ukukruquka kwaye urhoxise olo hambo luye eCabo okwangoku, utshilo uRuss Kino, MD, umlawuli wezonyango weSebe eliNgxamisekileyo kwiZiko lezeMpilo likaProvidence Saint John eSanta Monica, CA. "Akukho nto inokukhathazeka ngokuhamba okanye ukudlala elunxwemeni," utshilo. "Ukuba unenxeba elivulekileyo emilenzeni nasezinyaweni ngoko kukho umngcipheko wosulelo, kodwa uhamba nje elwandle? Libala. Ukhuselekile."

Akaphikisi ukuba kukho iintsholongwane ze-poop (kwaye zimbi) kwiilwandle, kodwa uthi inkqubo yethu yokhuseleko eyakhelwe-ngaphakathi-isikhumba sethu-senza umsebenzi omkhulu wokugcina iintsholongwane ngaphandle. Nokuba wenza into emdaka ngakumbi, njengokuvumela abahlobo bakho bakungcwabe esantini, ukonwabela ipikniki elunxwemeni, okanye ukuba nothando (ahem) lomzuzu, kunokwenzeka ukuba ugule kulo msebenzi kunokuba uvela esantini, ngokutsho kukaKino. (Uxolo ngokugqabhuza iqamza lakho, kodwa nazi iinyani ezi-5 malunga nesondo elunxwemeni.)

"Ngokunyanisekileyo, umngcipheko omkhulu ukusuka elunxwemeni kukutshiswa lilanga," utshilo, esongeza ukuba inqaku lakhe lokuqala kukhuseleko lolwandle kukunxiba umnqwazi kunye nehempe ezikhuselwe yi-UPF kunye nelanga elikhuselekileyo elangeni, njengoko i-melanoma isengumbulali wokuqala kwabasetyhini abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-35 ubudala.

Isifundo sigqiba ekubeni uyakhuseleka emanzini kunaphandle, kodwa uKino akavumelani. "Kukho iibhaktheriya ezinobundlobongela, ezinobungozi ezifumaneka emanzini-ingakumbi kumanzi olwandle afudumeleyo," utsho. (Kwaye hayi nje elwandle-funda phezulu kwiGross Parasite efumaneka kwiiNdawo zokuqubha.)

Bonke abahamba elwandle, nokuba basesantini okanye baselwandle, kufuneka bazazi iimpawu zosulelo, utshilo. Ukuba unenxeba elitshisayo, elibuhlungu, elibomvu kunye/okanye elivuzayo, kufuneka udibane nogqirha ngokukhawuleza.

Kodwa, inyani, akukho sizathu sokuba uloyiko lweentsholongwane lukuthintele ukonwabela uhambo olwandle, uKino wongeza, ukuba nje uthatha amanyathelo okhuseleko njengokusebenzisa ingubo ecocekileyo njengomqobo phakathi kwakho nesanti, usebenzisa ukucoceka amanzi kunye nezincedisi zokunyanga nakuphi na ukusikeka okanye imikrwelo, kunye nokunxiba iimbadada xa uhamba.
