减少外出、做好防护！医生提醒：“雷暴哮喘”预防比治疗更重要

Core Viewpoint - The increase in "thunderstorm asthma" cases following thunderstorms poses significant health risks, particularly for individuals with a history of asthma or allergic conditions. Preventive measures are emphasized over treatment for at-risk populations [1][3]. Group 1: Health Risks - Hospitals have reported a surge in "thunderstorm asthma" patients, especially in emergency departments during nighttime [1]. - Studies indicate that 36% to 56% of "thunderstorm asthma" patients did not have a prior asthma diagnosis, highlighting the need for awareness among those with allergic conditions [1]. Group 2: Preventive Measures - Experts recommend that individuals with allergic conditions, such as allergic rhinitis, should also take precautions during thunderstorms, as these conditions can trigger asthma symptoms [3]. - It is advised to avoid outdoor activities during high pollen concentration periods, particularly from 10 AM to 4 PM [5].
