  6. The heater was blasting at the gym today. I felt so hot and gross I thought I might barf, so I kept standing in the doorway between sets to cool down. I'm in a sports bra, and everyone else was wearing sweaters and hoodies. I felt weak and tired at the gym, but as soon as I was in the cool air I felt fine again. The others remarked that I must be a furnace. Yes, I am. It runs in the family. Thanks, Inuit ancestors. My sister doesn't wear a winter coat until it's at least -20 out. I wish I didn't get heat exhaustion so easily. #HeatExhaustion #HotBlooded #exercise

  8. #RIP
    #MichaelMosley reportedly died fr #heatexhaustion. How can #extremeheat turn deadly?
    " #human body has 2 main ways to lose e #heat generated by e body or gained fr e environ. 1st, e body attempts to lose heat to e environ by pump'g warm blood to e skin surface. But, when air temps r higher than skin temp (~35°C), tis becomes ineffective.. 2nd, e body can produce sweat, which has a cooling effect .. but, in #humid conditions, sweat on our skin evaporates less readily"

    What to do if someone collapsed due to heat exhaustion/heat wave/heat stoke?

    (This is ***NOT*** a medical, nor first aid, _advice_. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)

    If you know they collapsed because of heat, then any liquid is a must. The objective in the current situation is to replenish their water and cool down their body.

    In a doctor talk show years ago, a caller asked, "What if the patient have certain liquid restrictions?"

    The doctors agreed that in such an emergency, what is important is for the patient to survive, and in such a case, it is liquid and cooling them down. The side-effects can be addressed once they are out of danger. They also even suggested a worst-case scenario wherein only dirty water is available, in that case, use it. The hospital will take care of the rest.

    The point being made was that, the patient will likely die if their liquid is not replenished and their body isn't cooled down. Replenishing the body's liquid is the first step in cooling down the body; moving the patient under a shade helps the outside of the body, but the internal cooling down is the critical part, that's where the patient is struggling.

    It becomes very delicate for those with conditions like diabetes. In a scenario where only soda/softdrink is available, would it be safe to give it to the patient as first aid? More likely not, especially if their diabetes is really not good, and it becomes a big decision if you know, or were informed, the patient is diabetic.

    This is why we should always bring water with us. Buy one or two. It will not only save your life, it can save the life of others too. You never know when the water you're carrying will be needed to save someone else's life.

    And of course, you don't want to be the patient of a heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

    (This is ***NOT*** a medical, nor first aid, advice. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)

  10. Humans evolved to survive in a pretty narrow temperature range. When the body exceeds that range, it starts to shut down. Death can follow quickly, sometimes horrifically. The writer wishes she understood this better when she took a fateful hike recently on a hot summer day. Find out what she’s since learned reporting on the science of #heatstroke and #heatexhaustion, and what you need to know about this deadly force of nature. medium.com/wise-well/why-extre

  11. I have just started reading The Heat Will Kill You First by #jeffgoodell. Given the #heatwaves that are being experienced in #Europe and the #usa at the moment it is a very timely addition to the #ClimateCrisis information resources.

  14. Since I posted this on other media already - please share as often as possible! It may save lives!

    Know the difference between heat exhaustion and a heat stroke - the latter may be life threatening!

  15. If you're working outside in the sun on a hot and humid day, and you start getting chills, take a break somewhere cool immediately. That's a symptom of #HeatExhaustion , which can lead to #HeatStroke if you keep going.

  16. I stayed home from the gym today. I’ve had a brutal headache since getting heat exhaustion on the weekend. I don’t normally take pills, but I’ve popped a couple of Aspirin today and am keeping the pain to a dull roar with cannabis. I actually got some writing done on my manuscript this afternoon. So glad, because I’ve been in a slump since getting back from vacation last month. Today’s bit was about the Big Bang. Maybe I’ll finish this draft soon! #Writing #WritingCommunity #HeatExhaustion

  17. I went to Canada’s Wonderland for my anniversary. Up until the heat hit, I was having fun. We rode on coasters until the heat overcame me and I had to go home. I ended barfing on the way home. Apparently I cannot handle being overheated at all anymore. Anywho, the Behemoth is my favourite of the roller coasters. I’d ride it again—if it were a nice, cool day. #RollerCoaster #HeatExhaustion #Anniversary
