The spring period has always been associated with the explosion of allergies. An allergic person has always been at the center of sneezing problems and potential loss of attention for a few moments. All this is not possible while driving. Let's find out some simple and small tips together.
Spring is truly a splendid season. Nature recovers after the winter and the colors of the fields and flowers explode completely. However, all this is to be considered a problem for people suffering from respiratory allergy.
In Italy, according to the most recent data, about 10 million people suffer from this disease in a more or less serious form. It is defined as one of the major chronic diseases that afflict the Italian population. Very often people do not know that they suffer from allergies, but they are still subject to the work of pollen. Ignoring the symptoms of an allergy means going to run into even more serious situations and pathologies such as chronic sinusitis or asthma.
For this reason, if we are often the guide we must remember some simple but fundamental aspects to drive with greater safety.
First of all, we must thoroughly clean and disinfect the surfaces of the passenger compartment. We are talking about every single surface contained within the passenger compartment ... and therefore we are talking about the dashboard, the steering wheel and even the saddlery. If the latter is in fact declined in fabrics, we are talking about real areas of concentration of dirt and dust.
We therefore always try to maintain a healthy form of all the surfaces contained inside our car.
The next thing is to replace the cabin filter frequently , especially twice a year if you drive a large number of kilometers. In addition to replacing it, it is always advisable to sanitize with specific accessories that we can find at dealerships or workshops and specialized shops with car products.
Thanks to a specific sanitation with alcohol-based products , we could therefore be more serene on this aspect. We therefore try to sanitize not only the internal surfaces of the car, but also all the ventilation ducts as molds could be nested inside. The consequence is to breathe unhealthy air.
To do this, we can contact an authorized center of our dealership or independently buy a small can with a specific straw capable of entering deeply into the ventilation ducts and disinfecting in an excellent way.
Obviously, the advice is also to travel during the hours when the concentration of the thumbs is lowest . We should therefore theoretically avoid traveling in the morning and evening, just as we should avoid traveling those roads where there is a greater concentration of pollen as there are abundant trees.
If you are a lover of four-legged friends , be careful because they too could be carriers of allergies especially in this period.
The period of the coronavirus has however taught us how the use of the mask can be a good screen to limit the presence of potential infections inside our body. We can therefore wear the mask in order to avoid greater contamination between our body and the pollens present inside the passenger compartment.
And finally, never keep the windows down, but always use the air conditioner.
