As temperatures rise, the risk of dehydration and overheating increases significantly. Heat can lead to sunstroke or heatstroke, which is a condition that threatens health and even life.
Its symptoms include:
- fatigue,
- severe headaches and dizziness,
- nausea,
- fever,
- ringing in the ears,
- convulsions,
- a life-threatening rise in body temperature,
- increased heart rate and breathing rate.
Undoubtedly, heat also affects the human nervous system. High temperatures can cause drowsiness and nervousness, and also affect concentration levels and work efficiency. It should be remembered that heat is particularly dangerous for older people and children. Care should also be taken of animals, as high temperatures can also lead to overheating in them.
Above all, follow these rules and take care of your safety—and that of your loved ones:
- Limit your time in the sun,
- Drink plenty of still water,
- Wear a hat,
- Do not leave children or animals in a car,
- Use UV-protection creams.
