历史时期豫西瘿疾的分布、危害及民间应对研究

Distribution,Harm and Folk Response of Hall Disease in Western Henan in Historical Period

瘿疾是一种长期困扰人们的地方性疾病,其病症发作植根于特定的地域环境。在古人的认识里,山居地势和水环境是导致瘿疾的主要因素。豫西境内以山地丘陵地貌为主,是传统瘿疾的重灾区,尤其以洛阳、三门峡、汝州部分地区为甚。早期瘿疾多分布在地势相对平缓的丘陵地区,随着时代变迁,山区人口数量增加,地方经济得到开发,越到后期,瘿疾越发向深山转移。瘿疾对人们的日常生活影响深刻,不仅危害身心健康,而且妨碍婚姻生活。但是,为应对瘿疾的困扰,人们对其认识逐渐提高,并在日常实践中总结出多种应对瘿疾的方法,如改善居住环境,提高饮水质量和卫生,食用富含碘元素的营养物质等,这些措施集中体现了历史时期古人面对瘿疾的理性认识和合理实践。
