The new Corona virus disease is spreading around the world at a very high rate, and researchers have identified the physiological symptoms that can lead to the spread of the virus significantly, and the position of teeth and nasal congestion can lead to sneezing droplets falling into large distances, and even staying suspended in the air for a longer period, According to a newspaper report TIME NOW NEWS.
According to the report, some people, especially those who are not aware that they are carriers of the virus, have been described as super-spreaders of infection as a result of some demographic characteristics that are commonly called the term, and include children and young adults, and researchers have now also identified some physiological characteristics that can help in understanding who it could be. A super virus spreader.
Researchers are identifying characteristics that make one a super diffuser of the virus
According to new research from the University of Central Florida, USA, researchers have identified some of the features that could make one a super diffuser of the virus, in this study, the researchers used general computer models to numerically stimulate sneezing in different types of people and then determined the links between people’s physical features, and to what extent Sneezing droplets may travel or remain in the air.
It was found that people with a blocked nose have a higher likelihood of spreading the virus due to the extent to which their sneezing can spread..
Michael Kinzel, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California and a co-author of the study, said that knowing more about the factors that affect the extent to which these droplets can travel could direct efforts to control their spread..
Adding that this is the first study that aims to understand the underlying reason for the extent of spread during sneezing, and the study also said that when people have a clear nose, such as what happens after blowing a tissue, the sneeze droplets decrease their distance..
When the nose is clear, it allows air to pass away from the mouth, which reduces its speed, however when the exit is restricted in the case of nasal congestion, it leads to an increase in the speed of the drops emitted from the mouth.
Likewise, teeth can also act as a barrier that prevents sneezing from leaving the body, leading to an increase in speed.The type of saliva may also play a role in dispersing sneezing droplets.For the study, researchers also simulated three types of saliva: thin, medium, and thick..
They found that thin saliva produced smaller droplets, which caused the droplets to stay in the air longer, compared to medium or thick saliva..
