Skin allergies or urinary tract infections are often seen, and some of them are caused by wearing clothes, especially unscientific and unhygienic clothes. A young man bought a pair of tight jeans. After wearing them for a while, he felt that he had a significant increase in urine and felt swelling and pain in his lower abdomen. After the last check, he suffered from prostate disease. The reason why clothes hurt people is not complicated, it is mainly chemical toxicity, because during the production process of clothes, manufacturers often use a variety of chemical additives for the sake of beauty, such as anti-shrinkage, formaldehyde resin is mostly treated; whitening is mostly treated with fluorescent whitening agents; crispness is generally used for sizing treatment. These chemical additives all have an irritating effect on human skin and are most likely to cause allergies. At the same time, from the factory of the finished product to the customer's purchase, disinfectants and insecticides must be added to prevent mold and moth during a period of storage. The reactions of these chemicals are relatively strong, especially for children and those who are prone to allergies in the skin, the irritation effect is more obvious. Medically proven that compounds in some dyes can release carcinogens, such as chemical additives in clothing and pants, which may be the cause of leukemia. Many men's shirts have been treated with 1-5 different chemicals. Such clothes will release various toxic substances, causing lesions in the human body. Why do Japanese women suffer from cystitis? According to investigation and research, the main reason is that it is wearing chemical fiber underwear.
How can we wear clothes scientifically? Wash your newly purchased clothes, especially your close-fitting trousers, with clean water before wearing them. Don’t dry the underwear that you wash clean on the back, because there are dust and bacteria in the air, and these harmful substances often fall or attach to the dry clothes. Therefore, the underwear should be dry on the front and shake repeatedly when collecting the clothes. Some experts believe that silk underwear is not only beautiful and comfortable, but also has a health-care effect on the skin.
There is another situation that should be taken seriously by us.
For convenience, modern people are used to taking clothes to the laundry to dry clean, but the solvent used for dry cleaning of clothes has adverse effects on human health. Dry cleaning uses detergents or solvents to remove stains on clothes. The solvent may be alcohol, mineral oil, etc.
At present, the most common solvent for dry cleaning is tetrachloroethylene, and the gas absorbed by the skin can cause dizziness, nausea and other symptoms. In addition, a research report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shows that the gas emitted by slightly damp dry-cleaned clothes is one of the substances that pollute indoor air. The bags containing dry-cleaning clothes will retain those toxin solvents.
Some experts point out that it is best to wear clothes that do not require dry cleaning. If your clothes must be dry-cleaned, then you should immediately remove the plastic cover after taking the dry-cleaned clothes home, and hang the clothes in a ventilated place, and then wear them after the dry-cleaning solvent on the clothes evaporates.
