The cause of the sun is only one part, mainly because of a very dangerous risk to the body when exposed to sunlight - it is " thermal shock" . So what is the specific heat shock? Let's find out.

However, when the temperature is too high, this mechanism will be "broken", meaning that the body temperature increases too quickly in just a few minutes. That is when the body has heat shock.

At that time, the body's brain and vital organs will be literally " cooked" . Victims can die, or even survive also permanently damage the internal organs.

How to prevent heat shock

It can be seen that heat shock is a very serious risk during these hot days. So how to prevent it?

Next, don't let your skin get sunburned . Because when the sunburns, sweat glands on the skin are damaged, meaning the ability to cool the body is broken - and that is also the main cause of heat shock. So when you're out, find a way to shield your skin - with long-sleeved clothes or sunscreen.

The third is drinking lots of water . This is also extremely important, because adding enough water to the body is the best way to maintain a safe temperature.

And finally, be wary of the risk of heat shock. Patients with thermal shock often have fairly obvious manifestations: hot, rash, delirious skin, easy to fall into a coma. So, if you feel that your body is abnormally hot, quickly rest in the shade and replenish water immediately.

What to do when meeting people with thermal shock?

Heat shock is a very dangerous disease that can be fatal, so quickly bring the victim into the shade, and call emergency immediately.
