What are the harms of black-hearted cotton to the human body

I believe everyone has heard of black-hearted cotton. Black-hearted cotton is used in many places in life and is hard to guard against. It is extremely harmful to the human body, ranging from respiratory diseases to skin allergies and breathing difficulties. So what are the harms of black-hearted cotton to the human body? I believe everyone is familiar with this. Black-hearted cotton is made from inferior fiber products and is a type of recycled cotton. It has no elasticity and easily sticks to clothing. Let’s take a look at the harm of black-hearted cotton to the human body.

1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa can produce a variety of substances related to toxicity, such as endotoxin, exotoxin A, elastase, collagenase, and pancreatic peptidase. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common opportunistic pathogen. Intact skin is a natural barrier, and even highly active viruses cannot cause infection. However, under certain conditions, Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause infections at burn or trauma sites, corneal infections, sepsis, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and digestive tract infections.

2. Staphylococcus aureus

The pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus mainly depends on the toxins and invasive enzymes it produces, such as hemolytic toxins, leukocidin, plasma coagulase, deoxyribonuclease, enterotoxin, etc. Staphylococcus aureus is a common virus pathogen that mainly exists in the human nasal cavity, throat, and hair. More than 50% of healthy people have Staphylococcus aureus on their skin. Staphylococcus aureus is a common viral bacterium in human suppurative infections, which can cause local suppurative infections, pneumonia and other diseases, and even systemic infections such as sepsis and septicemia.

3. Hemolytic Streptococcus

Hemolytic Streptococcus is widely distributed in nature, existing in water, air, dust, feces, and the mouth, nose, and throat of healthy people. Hemolytic streptococci can cause purulent inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, respiratory tract infections, explosive outbreaks of epidemic pharyngitis, as well as allergic reactions such as neonatal sepsis and bacterial endocarditis.

Simple identification method of "black heart cotton"

1. Visual inspection: The filling fiber is dark in color, has many impurities, and is contaminated fiber scraps, which can be identified as "black heart cotton";

2. Touch: The filling fibers are not fluffy and uneven, and stick together. Most of them are cotton short fibers exceeding the standard. When pulled by hand, there is obvious dust and flying catkins, which can be identified as "black heart cotton";

3. Smell: Filling fibers that are fiber scraps that have been bleached and bleached, fiber product scraps, recycled fibers, or have a noticeable pungent smell, and products made from moldy raw cotton can also be identified as "black heart cotton".

The above mentioned are the harms of substandard cotton to the human body. I believe that after understanding it, everyone knows how to identify substandard cotton. Black-hearted cotton that has been chemically bleached is more harmful to the human body because it destroys the wax layer on the cotton fiber epidermis, and the fiber cavity and cell wall also absorb a large amount of chemical substances. Using it will cause symptoms such as itching, allergies, and difficulty breathing. It is recommended that you purchase with caution.
