In the world, many people suffer from asthma attacks, which can have many causes, but one of these causes has recently been studied in a research.
According to reports, after the outbreak of asthma, several people have died due to lightning. These reports were released by emergency services in the storm-hit areas a few hours after the storm. About 8,500 people were treated in the hospital. About a third of them had never had asthma attacks before this incident.
Asthma is a disease that can be aggravated by lightning from storms, as storms raise a lot of pollen, resulting in severe allergies. Lightning causes the pollen in the atmosphere to become smaller particles. When a person breathes in these smaller particles, they are transported deeper into the lungs, causing a greater degree of irritation and inflammation, and many people are affected by these pollens.
There is a high level of these pollens in three spring seasons, which cause more asthma attacks. In Melbourne, Australia, the pollen level has reached twice the normal level with the storms that happened. Some of those who have reacted to these pollen triggers may have never been exposed to them before. Epidemics are not very common in Australia, and thunderstorms are more common during the warmer months.
Similar incidents have happened in America, Canada, Great Britain and Italy. In winter, a disease called exercise-induced asthma can show symptoms of allergic asthma, which manifests itself with the onset of cold weather. So better than from now on, in addition to saving your life from lightning strikes, be careful of asthma attacks as well.
