香港政府警告:風暴過後小心「泥土病」

香港衛生署發出緊急健康提示,叫市民同遊客打風落雨後要格外小心。衛生防護中心(CHP)警告,近期惡劣天氣後「泥土病」感染風險大增,呢種由細菌引起嘅傳染病可以好嚴重,通常喺颱風同暴雨過後更易傳播。

「泥土病」由「伯克氏菌」引起,呢種細菌通常潛伏喺濕泥同污水裏面——每逢打風落雨周圍都會出現呢啲環境。人可能會因為以下途徑中招:傷口直接掂到受污染嘅泥水、吸咗帶菌嘅塵或者水氣,又或者唔小心飲咗未經處理嘅污水。

香港而家情況真係要打醒十二分精神!衛生防護中心數據顯示,2025年頭嗰排已經錄得8宗「泥土病」個案,比起2024年全年23宗明顯急升。今次情況令人諗返起2022年深水埗爆疫嗰單大鑊嘢,當時政府即刻做嘢,加強食水安全措施,包括升級過濾系統同加大水喉水嘅氯含量。

高危人士要特別留神!免疫力低、有糖尿病或者長期病患嘅街坊,中招風險高兼容易出現嚴重併發症。呢隻病嘅症狀可大可小,由輕微發燒、頭痛、局部疼痛、皮膚潰瘍,到嚴重嘅咳嗽胸痛都有。最惡劣情況下,可能會引發肺炎甚至敗血症,真係會攞命㗎!

衛生署教路防中招貼士:
1. 街坊同遊客記住避開積水同泥濘地方,千祈唔好徒手掂污水
2. 地盤工人、清潔阿姐等戶外工作者要做足保護:
– 戴手套同口罩
– 著水鞋
3. 有傷口要即時處理:
– 用清水沖乾淨
– 貼防水膠布封實
4. 出完街記住用梘液徹底洗手
5. 絕對唔好飲未煮過嘅生水
