Exposure to extreme heat can cause illness and even death for some people. But there are several small steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.
We need to keep our body temperature in the range of 35.5 to 37.5°C as this protects our vital organs and allows the body to function normally. Bodies gain heat from both the metabolic processes within and the environment, and heat is lost through the skin by radiation and by sweating.
Exposure to extreme heat has particularly adverse effects on people with chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular, respiratory or renal diseases, along with diabetes and obesity, and those with mental illness. These people account for a high proportion of the deaths caused by extreme heat.
People working outdoors also face high risk, especially if they’re working in direct sunlight. Excessive drug or alcohol use increases the risk of heat-related illness the drugs affect thermoregulation and alcohol acts as a diuretic (causes increased urination).
