Brian Busak, a professor of public health at Charleston College in the United States, revealed some of the main warning signs and methods of maintaining cold when the temperature and humidity is highly high for the British Independent newspaper, and said: “I study health risks in a warm climate as a professor of public health, and I have noticed that the temperature has become an increased concern.”
Signs to pay attention to
Heat -related diseases are widespread, and light thermal stress can develop rapidly to sunstroke Life is threatened if a person is exposed to high heat for a long time.
Mild shapes include heat -related diseasesRashAnd both of them can result from Extreme sweating In hot conditions, cooling the body and drinking cold fluids can help in its solution.
Heat -related diseases develop into heat stress at times, and the situation is more dangerous, and symptoms of heat stress include rotating, nausea, excessive sweating, feeling of weakness, thirst and headache.
Thermal stress indicates that the body loses its ability to maintain a fixed internal temperature, and one of the recommended steps to prevent the development of thermal stress to the most dangerous forms of heat -related diseases, which is sunstroke, taking immediate measures, such as moving to a cold and conditioned place, drinking fluid, relieving clothes, and using wet towels.
Emergency
The sunstroke is an emergency medical condition, at this stage the body cannot maintain a fixed internal temperature. The body infected with a sunstroke can reach 41 ° C or higher quickly, and this heat can lead to brain, heart and kidneys in a short time.
The person with sunstroke exhausts his reserves from sweat and salts so that the body remains cold, so sweating stops at the end during the sun’s blow, his cognitive abilities deteriorate, and he cannot avoid danger.
Sunstroke can cause epileptic seizures or a person in a coma, with a high internal temperature. If the condition is not treated immediately, and its inner temperature continues to rise, the sun’s blow becomes fatal.

- You should start avoiding heavy external activities at high temperatures if possible, and drink fluids that moisturize the body.
- The fans are useful unless the heat bikes are very high, but care must be taken if internal temperatures reach 37 degrees or more, it may increase the risk of developing heat -related diseases.
- Any library or commercial center can be resorted to resting in the most hot hours of the day.
- The dehydration associated with heat can occur when a person sweats excessively, which leads to the loss of water and the necessary salts from the body, so you should always pay attention to compensating water and salts.
- The elderly and people with disabilities face greater risk due to heat waves, especially if they cannot move easily to a cooler environment, so they should pay attention to them.
