#heatstroke — Public Fediverse posts

Confession: I am a #Govee guy. Not so much the LED light strips (that's my son's domain).

Me, I am a temperature sensor guy. I have them in my fridge and freezer to mitigate food spoilage, one in a watertight container in my pool skimmer, one in a far dark corner of my basement to turn the dehumidifier on and off. One in garage to make sure it isn't too cold in the winter, one in my bathroom to turn a small space heater on and off in the winter. One in my gazebo so I know the outdoor temperature. I have two in my mum's 1960s apartment to make sure she's staying cool in the evermore frequent heat waves (set those up a few weeks ago after she called to say she wasn't feeling so good and I rushed over to take her to emergency where she was treated for heat stroke and severe dehydration. Govee will make sure that I have advance warnings now - plus we bought an AC for her apartment).

Yesterday I added one more sensor, their PM2.5 air quality sensor. It gets good reviews for accuracy (it uses the Cubic PM2008MS as its PM sensor) and is significantly cheaper than competitive products, at under $50 Canadian. This sensor is helpful because of the ever increasing number of wildfires and resultant smoke. While Environment Canada issues smoke warnings, smoke and associated air quality can be extremely local (think blobs of smoke that fall from upon high and roll through your neighbourhood). Having this sensor will warn me when AIQ is poor (it samples every 2 seconds and can trigger threshold alerts via the Govee app), and sadly, during smoke events, will also let me know when locally the AIQ is acceptable, giving confidence about when it is prudent to go indoors, and when it is okay to enjoy being outside.

Next up, I guess I'll need another one for indoors. Then the smart switches can turn on the Corsi Rosenthal air filters.

Welcome to the second quarter of the 21st century.

Lads..be careful out there in that weather 🥵 🌞
Remember to drink plenty of water, wear a hat & use sunscreen. I ended up with heat stroke today for the first time which is quite scary.

So many talk about the shit #politicians or #rich people do, all while staying silent as people are thrown into the fires of the #machine, unless it's to come in with commentary about why are people continuing to struggle.

Please uplift this #Disabled #Indigenous Latina family! They've only hours left before they're without shelter, at the mercy of ICE and the dangers of #heatstroke. If you want to fight against fascism, start by fighting to guard against more fodder for the machine.

“Unfortunately, many of these individuals were found in homes without air conditioning,” state Health Commissioner Dr. Raynard Washington told reporters Saturday. “A few were outside their residences, some on the street and some even in parked cars.”..."

May Clinic:

Heatstroke symptoms include:

High body temperature. A core body temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) or higher is the main sign of heatstroke.

Change in mental state or behavior. Confusion, agitation, slurred speech, irritability, delirium, seizures and coma can all result from heatstroke.

Change in sweating pattern. In heatstroke brought on by hot weather, skin feels hot and dry to the touch. However, in heatstroke brought on by strenuous exercise, sweating may be profuse.

Nausea and vomiting. Someone with heatstroke may feel sick to their stomach or vomit.

Flushed skin. Skin may turn red as body temperature increases.

Rapid breathing. Breathing may become rapid and shallow.

Racing heart rate. Pulse may significantly increase because heat stress places an extreme burden on the heart to help cool the body.

Headache. Heatstroke may cause the head to throb.

Hmm, I've never seen "loose bowel movements" (and I teach first aid). This is NOT on the heat stroke slides.

Also: heat stroke, you are about to die, must cool down *immediately* (and your core body temperature is about to go over survivable limits). vs. heat exhaustion, where you are on the way to heat stroke.

Petition: Create a legally enforceable maximum working temperature

Introduce a legally binding maximum working temperature of 25°C for all workplaces, covering both indoor and outdoor jobs. Currently, there is an advisory minimum temperature in statutory guidance but no upper limit. We want the Government to change this by introducing a strict 25°C maximum cap.

Two U.S. presidents died on July 4th in a year ending in 6: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

Apropos of nothing, the current sitting U.S. president is refusing the cancel his Independence Day extravaganza, despite warnings from his doctor.

“By the way, on July 4th, it’s going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I’m going to go, and I’m going to make a really long speech just to show that I can do anything.”

"Currently, Europeans are rushing to buy air conditioners and North Americans are running their units on high, burdening the already stretched electrical grid. But consuming more or cranking up what you've already got shouldn't be the first resort. With a little effort, there are several ways to lower the temperature of your home without relying on air conditioning.

Here are 20."
