Adilabad – As temperatures continue to rise this summer, the risk of heatstroke is growing quickly. Many people are getting sick due to extreme heat. According to the District Collector, not only outdoor workers but also children and the elderly staying indoors are at risk.
Spending too much time in the sun can dangerously raise your body temperature. To stay safe, avoid direct sunlight whenever possible. Use umbrellas, hats, and wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothes that allow air to pass and reflect sunlight.
The Collector stressed the importance of staying hydrated. In hot weather, your body loses a lot of water, so it’s essential to drink plenty of fluids. Choose cold water, ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution), and fresh fruit juices to keep your body cool and balanced.
If you start to feel dizzy, have a headache, experience vomiting, high fever, or fainting, these could be serious signs of heatstroke. Don’t ignore them—seek medical help immediately.
Special care is needed for senior citizens and young children. They should stay indoors as much as possible and avoid going out during peak heat hours.
Everyone should take simple but effective steps to protect themselves from the heat. Staying cool and hydrated can help prevent dangerous health issues this summer.
