The World Meteorological Organization stated that the first days of July on the planet were the warmest days in the history of observations. The global temperature is expected to continue to rise and set new weather records.
Global warming, the intensification of this year's El Niño, has a profound impact on food production, water availability and human health. El Niño is a natural phenomenon that warms the Pacific Ocean.
According to research recently published in the journal Nature, 60,000 people died from heatwaves in Europe last year. You can only guess what will happen this year...
Heat-related illnesses (for example, heat stroke) occur when the body cannot cool down properly. This can lead to severe damage to the brain and other vital organs.
The development of heat-related diseases is affected by high humidity, obesity, fever, dehydration, use of some prescription drugs, heart disease, poor circulation, mental disorders, sunburn, alcohol consumption.
I want to emphasize separately the symptoms of sunburn. It can occur a few hours after exposure to direct sunlight, and a person may not associate his condition with overheating. Initially there is a headache, the body temperature may increase, nausea, vomiting, sinus expansion, after - seizures. All of these phenomena are caused by cerebral edema, a potentially life-threatening phenomenon. Therefore, if someone has such symptoms, it is a reason to seek emergency services, and while on the road, put the victim in a position with the head and legs slightly elevated, remove the upper clothes, give plenty of water, soak the skin of the face with water, apply a cold compress to the forehead and neck, you can wrap it. The victim in a wet sheet, when you vomit you must return him to the side.
Dear friends. These are tips on how to withstand the heat!
*Experts remind us that this year (which happens only once in 60 years! ) exhausting heat is expected. 40 days are forecast where temperatures will reach levels above 45°C. Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other eastern countries are already experiencing "abnormal heat".
* Prepare for high temperatures of 40°C to 50°C. Always drink room temperature clean water SLOWLY. Avoid cold water or ice.
What to do and what not to do?
1. Doctors advise not to drink very cold water when the temperature reaches 40°C, because our small blood vessels can break or peel off.
* A young man came from the street one hot day. Sweating early, wanting to cool down as soon as possible, he immediately washed his feet with cold water... And suddenly he fell. An ambulance was immediately called and he was taken to the hospital.
2. When the heat reaches above 38°C and you come from outside, bring it... let's get warm (! ). Don't drink anything cold. You can drink warm or hot water, but drink it SLOWLY.
Do not wash your hands or feet immediately upon arrival. Wait at least 30 minutes before bathing or showering.
Also do not wash or wet your skin before going out in the sun.
3. The man wanted to cool off after coming home and immediately took a shower. After the shower he was hospitalized with a swollen jaw. Had a stroke.
* Precautions : *
Do not drink very cold water immediately in hot summer or if you are very tired, as this can lead to spasm of veins or blood vessels, which can lead to stroke.
