A medical Doctor at St Joseph Hospital
at Kasoa in the Central region Joseph Somuah harmattan air is the cause of many
breathing issues, among others that have become rampant in Hospital and various
homes all because we seek to take seasonal precautions for granted.
Adom news in
an interview with Dr. Somoah this morning, disclosed that the harmattan’s dusty
air is blown from deserts right toward us and thus full of virus, so inhaling
the dust into our immune system causes us more harm than we perceive. He
explained that cold, cough’s, throat infections, measles, asthma, headaches,
eye and ear infections are some of the most rampant issues attended to in
hospitals this harmattan season which is caused by viruses living in the dusty
atmosphere.

Hospital Dr. Joseph Somoah spoke extensively on the respiratory implications
cases by breathing the dusty harmattan air especially on asthmatic patients as
he cautions the general public.
Dr. Somoah said
that people whose urine color appear yellowish are affecting their kidneys and
he advised the public to enjoy more fruits and water daily to rejuvenate and
flush out our immune system off various impurities. He said that pegnant women should protect themselves from inhaling too much dust in open areas.
Lactating mothers shoud try stayin indoors to prevent their babies from catching cold.

Dr. Somoah
also cautioned road contractors to spray the grounds with water daily before
starting their constructions in this season to help reduce contracting
respiratory diseases for themselves and others around. He also advised those
who sweep the grounds to do same.
