Corona’s pandemic turned the lives of many upside down, and its impact was not limited to some economic losses or psychological problems as a result of the quarantine and the measures that were taken, but suffered and many suffer from long -term health effects as a result of infection with the virus.
A 27 -year -old British woman named Hannah Newman suffers from a rare health condition known as “Cold Urticaria”, this condition appeared after she recovered from the Corona virus in 2020, according to the British Independent newspaper.
This condition has greatly affected her daily life, as she is unable to drink iced drinks, or to practice outdoor sports activities during the winter.
The “cold” is known as a chronic condition that causes symptoms such as rashes or swelling, as it causes frequent seizures of excessive allergies that cause shortness of breath when direct or indirect exposure to cold temperatures, and the symptoms of this condition may be simple and limited, but they can also cause severe and life -threatening allergic reactions according to the Cleveland Clinic site.
Symptoms of “colds”
The symptoms of the condition began to appear for the first time in April 2020 after being exposed to cold water while swimming at sea, and with the passage of time the symptoms were exacerbated, as she suffered an excessive sensitivity in December of the same year, after eating snowed drinks, and since then some cold foods and drinks have become prohibited.
Hana uses high doses of antihistamines, corticosteroids and ebenverine injections, which are used only in severe allergies, and despite this they still suffer from seizures, but these seizures have become more severe and dangerous.
This condition is not completely unique, as a study published in Nature Communications in April 2024 indicated that there is a link between the infection of the Corona virus and the increased risk of allergic disease.
Over the past four years, Hana’s response has been exacerbated, as it causes cold air, cold water, and even sweat in seizures of allergies.
Hana’s story provides an example of long -term effects that can result in Corona virus, highlighting the challenges faced by people with rare and unknown health conditions.
