Asthmatics should stay indoors as much as possible and have their inhalers handy. Face mask should be used when going out as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On best diet for the season, the Medical Director advised that, \u201cAdequate and balanced diet will help to keep the immune system strong. Fruits are particularly good for the immune system, he said, warning that, people should \u201cAvoid caffeine which can cause excessive urination (diuresis).\u201d<\/p>\n

For drivers, he said, \u201cWhen driving, especially at dawn and night, extra caution should be the rule because of the reduced visibility. Drivers should reduce their speed, put on hazard light. If possible joggers and other pedestrians who go out at dawn should use reflective clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concluding, he said people should get medical help when necessary and should be careful with fire especially in areas where bush burning is practiced.<\/p>\n

\u201cWash the eyes regularly, wearing of caps and other head covers are also recommended to protect the hairs,\u201d Omonaiye advised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
