Children will die if they get this disease. Parents should wake up.

Although medical conditions are getting better and better, people are still afraid of cancer, especially leukemia, which is called "blood cancer", which makes people tremble with fear. What worries parents even more is that in the past two years, leukemia has become more and more common at younger ages. Once a child is diagnosed with the disease, not only do they have to face huge medical expenses, but it also brings great pain to the family.

"New Year Picture Doll" Deng Minghe died of leukemia

It is understood that Deng Minghe was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in February 2013 and was discharged from the hospital after six months of treatment. If there is no relapse within three years, he will be completely cured. Unfortunately, in April 2015, Deng Minghe's leukemia suddenly relapsed, and on the evening of the 28th, he died due to ineffective rescue. He was only 8 years old.

Therefore, we as parents must pay attention to the issue of childhood leukemia. For the health of their children, parents must stay away from the following leukemia causes to avoid ruining their children's health.

1. Decoration pollution

In the past two years, everyone has been buying houses for various reasons, whether for appreciation or accommodation. After buying a house, it is natural to renovate it. All kinds of coatings and paints used in decoration may contain organic solvents such as phenol. These solvents are not only volatile but may also induce leukemia. Studies have shown that if a child moves into a newly renovated house within six months, the risk of developing leukemia will increase fivefold. Therefore, for the sake of children's health, it is important to avoid letting them move into a new house too early.

2. Unhealthy Food

"Diseases come from the mouth" is not just an empty saying. In fact, in life, there are many foods that are harmful to children's health. For example, some children's snacks that fail the test often contain excessive additives and may even contain some carcinogens; in fried foods, some proteins may denature due to high temperatures, thus having an adverse effect on health; in addition, some salty foods may contain nitrites, which also pose a risk of cancer.

3. High doses of radiation

Studies have shown that exposure to a large amount of radiation at one time, or multiple small doses of radiation, may cause leukemia. For example, after the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the incidence of leukemia in the two places was extremely high, even reaching 17-30 times that of other regions. Therefore, you should always keep your children away from large doses of radiation, such as security machines in subway stations, and never let your children put their limbs into them.

4. Some viral infections

In fact, some viruses can also cause leukemia. It has been confirmed that some viruses can cause disease in some animals. Therefore, if you have pets at home, you must do a good job of cleaning, bathe and vaccinate cats and dogs regularly, and children should also wash their hands in time after contact with pets.

5. Special drugs

Many drugs have serious side effects, such as chloramphenicol, cytotoxic anticancer drugs, immunosuppressants, etc. These drugs should be used with caution, especially for children. In addition, do not let children use hair dye, because American researchers have found that women who use hair dye extensively have a 3.8 times higher risk of developing leukemia than ordinary people. In addition, barbers and beauticians are also at risk because they are often exposed to hair dyes.

6. Pesticide residues

In order to increase yields, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used in modern farming, so it is inevitable that there will be some residues in vegetables and fruits. If they are not cleaned thoroughly, they may be absorbed by children and destroy the normal hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, thereby causing leukemia. For this reason, when washing vegetables and fruits, you must wash away the residual pesticides. It is recommended to use rice water or alkaline water for washing, and you can peel them directly if necessary.
