Egypt is expected to witness heavy rains, thunderstorms, lightning, sand storms and extremely cold weather starting Thursday till next Saturday.

Sand storms are among nature’s most violent and unpredictable phenomena, and usually result in bad consequences especially for the elderly, and those who are suffering from chest allergy.

So here are the best ways to protect yourself during the dust storm:-

1- Put a mask over your nose and mouth.

2-Put wit wipes on your nose

3-Drink plenty of water, as water reduces the damage caused by sandstorms.

4-Don't leave your house except in emergency cases only.

3- Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses

4-Eat a tablespoon of honey on an empty stomach.

5- Keep windows tightly closed

6-Green tea, anise, mint, and ginger

7-Eat fruits that are high in vitamin C, like, orange, lemon, and tangerine.
