“Dr. Anan” reveals that the virus can stay in cold air longer than normal weather. It makes people easily infected with colds and viruses. The truth is that cold air affects the body more than viruses that last longer.
Dr. Anant Chongkaewwatana Director of Animal Health Innovation and Management Research Group National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotech) posted a Facebook page. Anan Jongkaewwattana Resolving the virus hypothesis in cold weather for a long time Makes people really easy to catch a cold or get infected by the virus or not, stating that
In cold weather, it’s easier to catch a cold or catch a virus. Many people wonder why or because the virus stays in cold air longer than normal weather??
This is what is used to explain according to the hypothesis. One study published offers an explanation for how colder air actually affects our bodies. More than the properties of the virus that stays longer.
The Harvard research team found that in normal conditions, cells in the upper respiratory tract, namely the nose and throat, form structures similar to tiny fat particles that are constantly released outside the cells.
Such lipid particles are known as EVs or extracellular vesicles. released from the cell Therefore, the protein attached to the cell surface is also brought out. This includes proteins that the virus uses to bind to enter cells, such as ACE2 that the SARS-CoV2 virus binds to are also present in EVs.
Therefore, the body produces EVs as a natural defense mechanism against viral infections.
The research team found cooler temperature It has a noticeable effect on the production of less EVs and also results in poor introduction of various antiviral agents to be contained in EVs particles. As a result, the body does not have the first important immunity that can capture the virus.
small amount of virus Which normally does not make us infected and sick. It can be attached during the colder weather.
