Symptoms of heat stroke
Heat stroke is a manifestation of the disease commonly found in high-heat environments in summer and is more likely to occur in combination with high humidity environments.
Mild heat stroke can be manifested as dizziness, headache, flushing, thirst, profuse sweating, general weakness, palpitations, rapid pulse, inattention, incoordinated movements, etc.
Severe heat stroke includes heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Severe heat stroke can manifest as a mixture of these three types.
Heat stroke can lead to death
Heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to regulate its own body temperature. High temperatures lead to dysfunction of the thermoregulation center, which causes the body temperature to rise rapidly. Within 10 to 15 minutes, the body temperature can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius. If emergency care is not received, heat stroke can lead to death or disability.
Manifestations of heat stroke are diverse and may include: dizziness, pulsatile headache, nausea, extremely high body temperature (oral body temperature greater than 39.5 degrees Celsius), red skin, hot, dry, sweatless and cold, fast, heavy pulse, confusion, slurred speech, unconsciousness.
If you see any of the above signs, it means that the situation at this time is likely to be enough to threaten the patient's life. While trying to cool the patient down, others around you should help call the emergency number.
Sometimes, the patient's muscles twitch involuntarily due to heat stroke. When this happens, stop the patient from hurting himself. Do not put anything in the patient's mouth and do not try to feed him or her fluids to rehydrate them. If vomiting occurs, flip the patient's body over to make sure her airway is unobstructed.

What to do if you have heat stroke
After heat stroke, you should quickly get out of the high temperature, high humidity, sun environment, to the shade, ventilation place quiet lying, avoid high-intensity exercise and heavy physical labor.
Conditional patients should be placed in an air-conditioned environment, and efforts should be made to remove clothing to help dissipate heat.
People with clear consciousness and no difficulty swallowing should promptly supplement salty and refreshing drinks, such as light salt water, cold watermelon water, mung bean soup, etc.
The light ones can be recovered after the above treatment, and the serious ones need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
How to prevent heat stroke
Improve the working conditions of high temperature and high humidity, strengthen cooling measures such as heat insulation, ventilation, and shading, and pay attention to blocking the sun when going out.
Intermittent contact with the thermal environment, control the length of time spent in the thermal environment.
Drink more salty and refreshing drinks instead of waiting for thirst to replenish your water.
Pay attention to diet and rest, and heat stroke is also prone to under the conditions of insufficient rest, fatigue and hunger.
These people should pay special attention to heat protection
People engaged in high-temperature work. For example, steel mill workers, sanitation workers, landscaping maintenance personnel, couriers, etc.
Infants and children. Since the thermoregulation centers of infants, young children and children are not yet fully developed, body temperature is more susceptible to the influence of ambient temperature, resulting in large fluctuations.
Elderly population. The metabolic rate of the elderly population is generally relatively low, the body temperature regulation ability is relatively poor, and it is also more susceptible to the influence of ambient temperature.
What to eat can be scientific to cool off
The key to relieving the heat is to replenish moisture. Drink water in time, especially boiled water, and you can also eat watermelon and mung bean soup appropriately.
For people who are often exposed to high temperatures due to occupation, due to more sweating, drinks containing electrolytes should be moderately selected, such as sports drinks containing mineral salts such as potassium and magnesium.
Summer is the season of high incidence of intestinal infectious diseases. Try to eat less refrigerated, chilled and other foods with too low temperature to prevent adverse reactions in the stomach and intestines.
Prevent dry eye syndrome can be eaten like this
Picky eaters, lack of sleep, and improper use of the eyes are all factors that induce dry eye. Dry eye is no longer a "patent" for adults, and many children now suffer from dry eye. In the daily diet, we should pay attention to drinking more water, eat more foods rich in vitamin A, lutein, anthocyanins, such as eggs, pork liver, carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins, spinach, blueberries, mulberries, etc., a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, help improve dry eye symptoms.

Whether the head of the crayfish can be eaten in the end
The "shrimp yellow" inside the head of a crayfish is its liver and pancreas. Some heavy metals and contaminants and parasites in the growing environment will enter the interior of the shrimp through shrimp feeding or breathing. Both male and female shrimp also have liver and pancreas on their heads, and the theory that "shrimp yellow is shrimp eggs" does not hold.
In addition, in addition to the liver and pancreas, shrimp head has many organs, such as the stomach and gills, which are also the places where toxins are absorbed and processed, and are also the parts that are most prone to accumulate heavy metals, pathogens and parasites. Therefore, from the perspective of dietary safety, it is recommended that you only eat shrimp tails, shrimp heads or eat less.
