As summer continues to sizzle, it is essential to remember the potential dangers of excessive heat exposure. While mornings may offer some relief, afternoons and early evenings can become increasingly uncomfortable and hazardous to health.
The scorching heat outside can lead to a range of health problems such as dehydration, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. A recent study from the University of Cincinnati’s Gardner Neuroscience Institute suggests that rising temperatures may exacerbate headaches for individuals, particularly those who suffer from migraines.
It is crucial to stay hydrated during the summer season to prevent these issues from occurring. Steven Barnes, the ER Manager at Hillcrest Claremore, emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated to keep blood vessels relaxed and potentially alleviate headaches. Dehydration can set in quickly without warning when it’s hot outside. Drinking water before and during outdoor activities can help stave off these issues.
Barnes also noted an uptick in ER visits for heat-related problems following a recent tornado in Claremore among workers in fields such as brush removal and roofing. To avoid these illnesses, Barnes advises taking frequent breaks and staying well-hydrated while being outdoors during the summer season. By being mindful of hydration and taking necessary precautions, individuals can stay safe and healthy while enjoying the summer weather.
