Most of us want sun when we go away but we are unused to it in hot countries and so may have problems.Two types of abnormal reaction that we can get to heat are HETSTROKE and HEAT EXHAUSTION. HEATSTROKE happen when the body cannot lose heat,for example in extremely hot climates in which the air is hotter than the body so that the body doesn't lose any heat to the air.It can also occur in very humid conditions which don't allow the body to sweat.HEAT EXHAUSTION on the other hand is a type of heat problem that comes on slowly and can occur even in country like Philippines.It occur after exceptionally heavy exercise which adds body heat to that from the already hot conditions and it is caused by the body losing too much salt in the sweat.The trouble is thus due to a loss of body salt and water. These two have their own signs that can be observed like Hot,dry red skin,rapid pulse,high temperature,vomiting,irritability and eventually coma.Fortunately,Heatstroke is uncommon but can be very sever when it does occur and can be very sever when it does occur and can be dangerous if not treated at once.It comes on rapidly and needs immediate treatment. Here are some tips I have gathered on what to do to the persons having heatstroke;Cool the person by removing his clothes,Fan with an electric fan if you have one,Sponge with tepid water,Call the doctor. For signs of Heat Exhaustion;Normal or slightly raised temperature,Pale,moist skin,Fast,weak pulse,Letahrgy,giddiness and headache,possible nausea and vomiting. Here is what to do;Get the person to rest,Give him plenty to drink,Add extra salt to foods and drink as he wants. I hope you fellow mylotters get some points in here.Thank you very much.
