The hot summer months are in full swing, and that means you need to take extra precautions to stay safe. Did you know there are several different illnesses related to heat? Heat Stroke is the most serious heat related illness. It happens when the body is not able to control its temperature: the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. When heat stroke occurs, the body temperature can rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Death or permanent disability can occur if the person does not receive emergency treatment. Symptoms
Heat Exhaustion is the body’s response to the excessive loss of water and salt. This usually happens though sweating. The elderly, those with high blood pressure, and those who are working in a hot environment are most prone to heat exhaustion. Symptoms
Rhabdomyolysis is a medical condition associated with heat stress and prolonged physical exertion, resulting in the rapid breakdown, rupture, and death of muscle. When muscle tissue dies, electrolytes and large proteins are released into the bloodstream that can cause irregular heart rhythms and seizures, and damage the kidneys. Symptoms
Heat syncope is a fainting episode or dizziness that usually occurs with prolonged standing or sudden rising from a sitting or lying position. Factors that may contribute to heat syncope include dehydration and not being acclimated to your surroundings. Symptoms
Heat cramps usually affect people who sweat a lot during strenuous activity. This sweating depletes the body’s salt and moisture levels. Low salt levels in muscles causes painful cramps. Heat cramps may also be a symptom of heat exhaustion. Symptoms
Heat rash is a skin irritation caused by excessive sweating during hot, humid weather.
Symptoms
Beat the heat by drinking plenty of water! Be sure to check in on friends and neighbors who are at high risk for heat related illness. People who are at high risk are infants, young children, older adults, and people with chronic medical conditions. Seek air conditioning (this is a great excuse to go to the mall or the library!). NEVER leave kids or pets in the car, even for a minute. If you go outside remember to limit your time outdoors, and bring a hat, sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher), water, and lightweight and light colored clothing. Also, don’t forget your pets this time of year! Our furry friends are susceptible to heat related illness too, so check out these tips from the ASPCA on how to keep your pets safe.
