This is for everybody's information.
We got a heat wave advisory.
LET'S GET READY FOR THE
"HEAT WAVE"!
Let's prepare ourselves for very hot temperatures ranging from 40°-50°C. Always drink clean water, drink slowly...avoid drinking very cold water or lots of ice quickly or immediately.
"Heat wave" is now being experienced in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other countries in Asia.
What are the do's and don'ts?
1. Doctors say when the temperature reaches 40°C, don't immediately drink very cold water because our small blood vessels may burst or explode.
It is said that a friend of the Doctor came from outside on a very hot day..
Entering inside the house and wanting to cool down his warm feelings immediately, he immediately washed his feet with cold water...suddenly his vision blurred and he collapsed. An ambulance was immediately called and he was sent to the hospital.
2. When the heat reaches 38°C and you come from outside.. Let your body rest first. Do not drink cold water.. you can drink hot or warm water but drink it only very slowly.
Do not immediately wash your hands or feet, and do not wash or wet the part of your body exposed to the sun. Spend at least 30 minutes or half an hour before washing or showering.
3. There was an incident where a man who came from the heat to cool down immediately took a bath.
After taking a bath, his jaw became stiff and he was sent to the hospital. He had a stroke.
Remember:
During the summer or if you are very tired, avoid drinking very cold water right away because it can cause narrowing of the veins or blood vessels that will cause a stroke.
Teach it to your children, your family, housemates, friends and co-workers to be a warning to each other! Please forward or share it to everyone you know. Thanks.
