Akukho okushiwo ihlobo njengezinsuku ezinde ezichithwa ebhishi-ilanga, isihlabathi, nokuntweza emanzini kunikeza indlela ephelele yokuphumula futhi uthole uvithamini D wakho (ingasaphathwa eyobuhle bezinwele zasolwandle). Kepha kungenzeka ukuthi uthola okuningi kusukela ntambama yakho olwandle kunalokho okuthengiselile: Ngemuva kokuhlola amabhishi athandwayo eHawaii, abacwaningi abavela eNyuvesi yaseHawaii bathole ukuthi amabhaktheriya aluthanda kakhulu lolwandle njengabantu. Kuvela ukuthi, isihlabathi besinamazinga aphezulu wezimbungulu ezimbi njengo-E. Coli.

Abaphenyi bathola ukuthi isihlabathi esifudumele, esimanzi sinikeza indawo ekahle yokuzalanisa amabhaktheriya alethwe amanzi angcolile, indle noma udoti olahlwa olwandle. "Isihlabathi sasolwandle sidinga ukucatshangelwa ngokucophelela ukuhlola umthelela waso kwezempilo yomphakathi," kuxwayisa umbhali oholayo uTao Yan, Ph.D. Umphumela oseceleni kusuka ntambama yakho ephelele esihlabathini esingcolile? Izinto ezifana nohudo, ukuhlanza, ukuqubuka, kanye nezifo, abalobi bezocwaningo baxwayisa. (Kungenye yezimbangela ezine ezimangazayo zokutheleleka nge-Urinary Tract Infections-ew!)

Kepha ungakhathali futhi ukhansele lolu hambo oluya eCabo okwamanje, kusho uRuss Kino, MD, umqondisi wezokwelapha woMnyango Wezimo Eziphuthumayo eProvidence Saint John's Health Center eSanta Monica, CA. "Akukho okumele ukhathazeke ngakho ngokuhamba noma ukudlala olwandle," usho njalo. "Uma unesilonda esivulekile emilenzeni noma ezinyaweni khona-ke kunengozi yokutheleleka, kodwa ukuzihambela nje ngasolwandle? Khohlwa. Uphephile."

Akaphikisi ukuthi kunamagciwane endle (futhi okubi nakakhulu) emabhishi, kodwa uthi uhlelo lwethu lokuphepha olwakhelwe ngaphakathi-isikhumba sethu-lenza umsebenzi omuhle kakhulu wokunqanda amagciwane. Ngisho noma wenza okuthile okungcole kakhulu, njengokuvumela abangani bakho bakungcwabe esihlabathini, ukujabulela ipikiniki ogwini lolwandle, noma ukuba nomzuzu wothando (ahem), maningi amathuba okuthi ugule ngenxa yomsebenzi kunokuba uvela esihlabathini, ngokusho kukaKino. (Siyaxolisa ukuqhuma ibhamuza lakho, kepha nanka amaqiniso ayi-5 Mayelana Nocansi Olwandle.)

"Eqinisweni, ingozi enkulu evela ogwini ukushiswa yilanga," esho, enezela ukuthi iseluleko sakhe sokuqala sokuphepha ebhishi ukugqoka isigqoko nehembe elivikela i-UPF kanye ne-sunscreen enhle, njengoba i-melanoma isengumbulali wokuqala womdlavuza. kwabesifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-35 ubudala.

Ucwaningo luphethe ngokuthi uzophepheka kakhudlwana emanzini kunokuphuma, kodwa u-Kino akavumi. “Kunamagciwane anolaka, ayingozi atholakala emanzini-ikakhulukazi emanzini olwandle afudumele,” usho kanje. (Hhayi nje olwandle-funda ku-The Gross Parasite Etholakala Emachibini Okubhukuda.)

Bonke abahamba olwandle, noma ngabe basesihlabathini noma ku-surf, kufanele bazi izimpawu zokutheleleka, usho kanjalo. Uma unesilonda esishisayo, esibuhlungu, esibomvu kanye / noma esivuzayo, kufanele ubonane nodokotela ngokushesha.

Kepha, empeleni, asikho isizathu sokuvumela ukwesaba amagciwane kukuvimbe ekujabuleleni uhambo olwandle, uKino uyanezela, inqobo nje uma uthatha izinyathelo ezifanele njengokusebenzisa ingubo ehlanzekile njengesithiyo phakathi kwakho nesihlabathi, usebenzisa ukuhlanza amanzi namabhande okwelapha noma yikuphi ukusikeka noma imihuzuko, nokugqoka izimbadada lapho uhamba.
