花粉热可能对心理健康有长期影响
斯蒂芬·马修斯 2018年4月23日
这是每年这个时候的常见问题。一项主要研究表明，花粉热可能对心理健康有长期的影响。科学家们发现了夏季过敏和精神疾病之间的联系，比如精神分裂症。他们发现，患花粉症和哮喘的患者在未来患精神疾病的几率要高66%。台湾研究人员发现，英国有花粉炸弹，给数百万花粉热患者带来了痛苦。
英国的花粉炸弹是什么?
英国气温飙升，高达26°C，给数以百万计的花粉热患者带来了痛苦。专家们警告称，由于英国正经历一段时间的密集流动，导致了花粉炸弹，因此冷凝的春天将会到来。植物需要一段时间的寒冷，然后在它们能够在温暖的天气开花，现在的日子正在温暖，那些在春天不能开花的植物很可能会在一起。科学家们说，花粉的高水平是一个漫长而残酷的冬季的结果。英国人不得不忍受几个月的降雪、降雨和冰冻天气。有关慈善机构警告说，花粉是哮喘病发作的头号诱因，可能会致命。英国在经历了创纪录高温下的一段紧张的时期后，出现了冷凝的春天。研究人员研究了大约18.5万名患者，其中四分之一患有哮喘、湿疹或花粉热。
专家发现，在这三种过敏症中，有10.8%的患者在15年的时间里患上了一种精神疾病。相比之下，在其他病人中，只有不到7%的人在同一时间被诊断出患有精神疾病。台北三联综合医院的科学家发现，这导致哮喘或花粉症患者的风险增加了1.66倍。结果与湿疹患者相反，他们患精神疾病的风险较低。这项发表在《精神病学前沿》杂志上的研究结果可能会对医生如何护理和监测过敏患者产生影响。该研究的首席研究员，曾连生博士认为，他的研究是第一个在过敏和精神疾病之间建立明确联系的研究。曾博士说，我们希望让关心过敏疾病患者的临床医生知道他们的精神疾病风险可能更高。评估他们的情绪状况和监测他们的心理健康可以帮助避免以后的精神问题。曾博士和他的同事们认为，过敏和精神疾病之间的新发现是由炎症引起的。炎症，免疫系统对过敏原的反应，在花粉热、哮喘和湿疹中起着关键作用。最近的一系列试验发现了炎症和精神疾病之间的联系，如抑郁症和焦虑症。曾博士补充说，精神疾病的精神压力也可能导致过敏和恶化。研究人员迫切地指出需要进一步的试验来澄清这一现象的确切原因。
花粉热患者的生存指南
早上6点:把凡士林放在鼻子下。花粉水平在早晨最高，中午达到高峰。凡士林可以帮助捕捉花粉，妇女健康报告。
9点:洗手。洗手是一件整天都应该做的事情，可以帮助清除手上堆积的花粉。
中午12点半:不要出去吃午饭。待在室内会阻止免疫系统对花粉产生反应，从而阻止了组织胺和其他化学物质的释放。
下午1点: 用你的午餐。营养和健康作家卡珊德拉·巴恩斯声称，吃维生素C可以缓解鼻窦的充血。
下午4点: 涂抹眼药水或喷鼻剂。根据哮喘英国的研究，在傍晚和傍晚的时候，花粉量会更高。
下午6点: 下班回家后洗头。英国布帕的医学主任斯蒂夫·伊蕾博士告诉女性健康，花粉可以聚集在头发上。
晚上8点: 不要喝酒。伊蕾博士说，我建议在一个温暖的夏夜远离酒精，因为这样会使症状更严重。酒精是一种敏感物质，含有组胺，可以激活或强化过敏反应。
晚上 10:30:吃花粉热药。睡前服用一种控制花粉热的药片可以帮助你缓解症状，并能让你睡个好觉。
晚上11点: 关上所有的窗户。关闭窗户可以防止任何花粉进入室内，防止出现症状。

Experts reveal their morning-to-night hayfever survival guide as study finds the millions who suffer boost their risk of mental illness by 66%
Scientists have unearthed a link between hay fever and psychiatric disorders Around 185,000 patients were studied over 15 years to make the conclusion The team of Taiwanese researchers uncovered a similar link between asthma The results were the opposite for patients with eczema - they had a lower riskBy Stephen Matthews For Mailonline

It's a common problem this time of year.
But a major study suggests hay fever may have long-lasting effects on mental health.
Scientists have unearthed a worrying link between the summer allergy and psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia.
They found patients with hay fever and asthma are 66 per cent more likely be struck down with a mental illness in the future.
The findings, by Taiwanese researchers, come amid a 'pollen bomb' in the UK that has caused misery for millions of hay fever sufferers.
WHAT WAS THE POLLEN BOMB IN THE UK?
Soaring temperatures in the UK, which reached as high as 26°C (80°F), brought misery to millions of hay fever sufferers.
Experts warned of a 'condensed spring' as the UK dealt with a period of intense flowing that led to a 'pollen bomb'.
Plants need a period of cold and then warm weather before they are able to flower, meaning now the days are warming up those plants that were not able to flower earlier in the spring are likely to all do so together
Scientists said the high levels of a pollen are a result of a long and brutal winter.
The sudden sunny weather follows the months of snow, rain and freezing temperatures Britons have had to endure.
Concerned charities warned pollen is a 'top trigger' for asthma attacks, which can prove deadly.
Experts warned of a 'condensed spring' as the UK dealt with a period of intense flowing amid record-high temperatures.
Some 185,000 patients - of which a quarter had asthma, eczema or hay fever - were studied to make the new conclusion.
Experts found 10.8 per cent of patients with one of the three allergies developed a psychiatric disorder over the course of 15 years.
In contrast, less than seven per cent of the other patients went on to be diagnosed with a mental illness in the same time frame.
This translated to a 1.66-fold increased risk for asthma or hay fever patients, found the scientists at Tri-Service General Hospital in Taipei.
However, the results were the opposite for patients with eczema - they had a lower risk of going on to develop a psychiatric disorder.
The findings, published in the Frontiers in Psychiatry, could have implications for how doctors care and monitor patients with allergies. Lead researcher Dr Nian-Sheng Tzeng believes his study is the first to establish a clear link between allergies and psychiatric disorders.
Dr Tzeng said: 'We would like to let clinicians who care for patients with allergic diseases know that their risk for psychiatric diseases may be higher.
'Assessing their emotional condition and monitoring their mental health could help to avoid later psychiatric problems.'
Dr Tzeng and colleagues believe the newly discovered link between allergies and psychiatric disorders is down to inflammation.
Inflammation - a reaction by the immune system to allergens - plays a key role in hay fever, asthma and eczema.
And a host of recent trials has found a link between inflammation and psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety disorders
Dr Tzeng added the mental stress of a psychiatric disorder may also contribute to allergies and worsen them.
However, the researchers were keen to point out that further trials are needed to clarify the exact cause of the phenomenon.
WHAT IS THE SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR HAY FEVER PATIENTS?
6am: Put Vaseline under your nose
Pollen levels are known to be at their highest in the morning and peak at midday. Vaseline, or another petroleum jelly, can help to trap pollen, Women's Health reports.
9am: Wash your hands
Washing your hands is something you should do all day long as it helps to flush away any build-up of pollen on your hands.
12:30pm: Don't go outside for lunch
Staying indoors will prevent your immune system reacting to pollen, thus stopping the release of histamine and other chemicals.
1pm: Eat hay fever fighting foods with your lunch
Cassandra Barns, a nutrition and health writer, claims eating vitamin C can help ease sinus congestion.
4pm: Apply eye drops or nasal spray
According to Asthma UK, pollen counts are higher in the late afternoon and early evening.
6pm: Wash your hair when you get home from work
Dr Steve Iley, medical director at Bupa UK, told Women's Health that pollen can congregate in hair.
8pm: Steer clear of booze
Dr Iley said: 'I'd recommend staying away from alcohol on a warm summer’s night, as this can actually make the symptoms worse.
‘This is because alcohol is a sensitiser and contains histamine, which can activate or strengthen the allergic response.'
10:30pm: Take a hay fever tablet
Taking a tablet to control hay fever before you sleep could help you combat your symptoms and lead to a good night's kip.
11pm: Close all your windows
Keeping the windows shut will prevent any pollen from reaching you indoors - stopping you from having any symptoms.
