Toys :Travellers and old people, young ones and sick peoples are at highest risk.
How to know if it is sunstorke or any other fever?
Sunstroke and diarrhoea both kill by dehyrdrating the patient.
Elimating thirst, eliminates dehydration and these largest killers of India Everyone drinks water, when thirsty. It is wiser to drinlk water plenty and eliminate thirst and dehydration.
Every summer many Indians die of sunstroke (Heat stroke)
And every one gets tired early.
This all is eliminated if one drinks plenty of water frequently ensuring that he never feels thirsty.
How does summer kill people.? Our body becomes warm with summer heat. Then we sweat .Sweat has lot of water and some salt. This water evaporates, and cools our body.
Sweating reduces the body water. One gets dehydrated. One feels thirsty.If one drinks adequate water thirst is quenched. The the water stocks are replenished.We remain comfortable and body can continue to sweat. If one does not get adequate water, sweating reduces. Thus cooling mechanism fails. Body becomes hot.One gets fever. If temperature rises above 106 degrees Farenheit, IT AFFECTS BRAIN. One can becomes giddy delirious and can die. This is called as sunstroke or heat stroke.
Many people in India and all over the world die like this every year.
Who are at highest risk? Toys : Travellers, Old people,Young ones & Sick peoples are at highest risk.
Travellers traveling in fast trains and vehicles are exposed to hot air blasts.They sweat at much faster rates. It is wiser to close windows,and avoid exposure to hot air blast during travel.
And every traveller must carry his own water bottle.Every traveller must be told by announcements at bus and railway stations that should drink plenty of water frequently so as not only quench thirst, but eliminate it totally .By drinking water even before becoming thirsty. Old people have many illnesses. They tend to neglect themselves.
They have fragile body, they suffer most.
Young ones: Children have a relatively larger body surface area. They sweat more and need more water. They also have to depend on elders,as in most houses the water is kept beyond the reach of children. Whenever elders do not know that children need more water(as in most houses)children face the risk of dehydration, especially the infants and the sick ones.
Solution : Keep water within the reach of children in the houses. Like school,give them a water bottle even at home. Ensure that infants pass plenty of colourless urine every 3 hours (called PRAHAR in Sanskrit). Sweating is not properly established in Newborn who are less than 12 days old.Mothers should frequently touch them and if found warm,they should be mopped with a wet cloth,kept in airy cool place and if the baby is passing less urine,some water should given.
Sick people are at highest risk.
Sick people already have fever .They need more water than healthy persons.
And they often take inadequate water.
The severity of their fever and illness is multiplied many times by the summer heat, and accomplanying dehydration.This affects all body systems. So everyone becomes more vulnerable.
So many more people suffer from many more illnesses.
