Since the outbreak of the EV71 enterovirus in Fuyang, Anhui, there have been subsequent cases of hand-foot-mouth disease reported across the country. According to expert doctors, viruses like enteric infectious diseases generally spread more easily in hotter places and relatively less in colder areas. However, in our country, both the south and north are affected. During outbreaks, there is a regional nature, causing an explosive流行in certain areas with rapid disease transmission. Especially when water sources are contaminated, the consequences can be quite severe.

Hand-foot-mouth disease spreads easily, with bacteria mainly entering the intestines through the mouth. Contaminants can be food, water, saliva, air, dirty hands, toys, etc. Therefore, prevention should start from preventing oral entry of pathogens. If environmental hygiene and food safety are not observed, anyone can get infected. So why are most patients in the country generally younger? This is mainly because children have weaker resistance than adults, they haven't developed good hygiene habits, cannot distinguish between clean and dirty, so adults need to do more to cut off the source of infection to ensure children stay away from hand-foot-mouth disease.

Currently, there is no vaccine for hand-foot-mouth disease. The medical community suggests that the key to prevention is developing good hygiene habits, and more importantly, ensuring water quality. It can be seen that even if we develop good habits, pollution from water sources may still cause us to get sick. Many people are busy working and earning money, without more time to supervise everything about their children, nor the constant effort on disinfecting tableware and toys. What to do then? With the daily increasing number of infections reported in the news, citizens are very anxious, unsure of what to do, worried about their children's health status and the hygiene conditions around them, adding more pressure every day.

Spring and summer bring continuous rain, recently the weather has been gloomy, with occasional heavy rains or showers hitting various places. The rain brings not only a humid environment but also accelerates the breeding speed of viruses and bacteria. Although the tap water we use daily is treated in factories, it won't easily cause infection as long as it is heated. But if the tap water gets contaminated during transportation due to pipe damage or mixing with rainwater, and then enters our daily water supply through household faucets, the resulting infections would be hard to prevent. How can we more thoroughly eliminate water pollution and let our families use water with peace of mind? More and more people start using water purifiers, water filters, and direct drinking machines to make the water cleaner and safer to use. Using water purifiers, water filters, and direct drinking machines is the best way to directly prevent water pollution. Human survival and life cannot be separated from water resources. In daily life, whether washing food or cleaning the body or tidying up the house, tap water must be used. If the water from these taps is first filtered by a water purifier or water filter before use, we don't have to worry about the family or children getting infected with viruses, nor worry about the living environment causing hand-foot-mouth disease.

Currently, there are many types of water purifiers, water filters, and direct drinking machines available in the market, choosing good water purification products is also very important. Many families or companies choose the Doulton brand from the UK Royal Dalton for its long history in professional water purification and filtration research. A good water purifier must have the basic function of killing bacteria. If you can drink the water without boiling and not worry about unhygienic conditions, eliminating pollution, then our parents don't have to worry about children getting sick from touching water or other items, allowing children to truly stay away from hand-foot-mouth disease and live healthily.
