In this era of corona virus, many myths and rumors are being brought up every day. To protect oneself, it is also necessary to rely only on correct information. In such a situation, it is necessary to follow the guidelines of WHO to know the truth. Learn about which types of myths are prevalent -
Myth: The virus dies in cold temperatures.
Truth: There is no truth in this matter. Typically, the human body temperature is 36.5–37.5 ° C, regardless of the outside temperature. In such a situation, only better cleaning of hands can prevent the effects of virus.
Myth: Taking a bath with warm water will reduce the outbreak of the virus.
Truth: Temperature has no effect on viruses. The same principle works here that the body temperature of a human remains from 36.5 to 37.5 ° C, no matter the external temperature. A bath with too much hot water can dry the skin. The only solution is to clean the hands for 30-60 seconds repeatedly with alcoholic hand rub.
Myth: Corona virus can also spread by mosquito bites.
Truth: No evidence has yet been found that the corona virus can be spread by mosquito bites. It is a respiratory virus, which spreads to another person while coughing or sneezing. In such a situation, social distance or social distance is necessary, especially avoid contact with a person who has a cough.
Myth: Hand dryers may be able to kill viruses.
Truth: There is no truth in this fact. The new Kovid-19 will have no effect on temperature. After a good cleaning of hands, wipe them with a clean hand towel or dry them with hand dryers.
Myth: Ultraviolet disinfection lamps can destroy viruses.
Truth: UV lamps cannot be used to sterilize hands, because UV radiation is harmful to the skin.
Myth: Thermal detector can detect a person with corona virus.
Truth: A thermal detector can only detect if a person has a fever. This fever can be caused by the corona virus and also from the flu.
Myth: Spraying alcohol or chlorine on the body can also destroy the virus.
Truth: If the virus has entered the body, no spray can spoil it. Rather, doing so may cause harm. Alcohol and chlorine can be sprayed only at specific places and that too according to the guidelines given on them.
Myth: The flu or pneumonia vaccine can help prevent the corona virus.
not truth. Flu, pneumonia or influenza vaccines cannot prevent this. The corona virus is new and its vaccine is yet to come. Nevertheless, get these vaccinations to children or elders, so that their immunity increases and they do not surround other infections.
Myth: Eating garlic can reduce virus outbreaks.
Truth: Garlic is beneficial for the body. It contains some antimicrobial elements, which are beneficial for the body, but so far no evidence has been found that eating garlic can prevent corona infection.
Myth: The new corona virus affects the elderly more.
Truth: According to the data found so far, people of all ages are getting affected by it. Elderly or people who already have problems like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, this virus infection can cause more problems because their immunity is weak. WHO has advised people of all ages to maintain cleanliness habits.
Myth: Avoiding a virus infection is possible by taking an antibiotic course.
Truth: Antibiotics protect bacteria, not viruses. Since corona is a virus, the antibiotic has no effect on it. However, if someone is hospitalized, he may be given antibiotics to protect him from other infections.
