According to the Japan Meteorological Agency,
▽ North Japan will take 19 days
▽ East Japan will take 20 days
▽ West Japan
will continue to have high temperatures
from 19th to 23rd,
so it is necessary to be careful about heat stroke.
At this time of the rainy season, the temperature rises sharply, and the number of heat stroke carriers begins to increase every year.
Your body may not be accustomed to the heat, so take careful measures against heat stroke.
"Beware of heat stroke indoors
The most common place of heat stroke is "dwelling".
Use the air conditioner in advance to keep the room cool, not "after it gets hot".
Room temperature of 28 degrees and humidity of 70% are guidelines for turning on the air conditioner.
Yasushi Miyake, director of the Advanced Emergency and Critical Care Center, Teikyo University Hospital, who is familiar with heat stroke countermeasures, said, "When using an air conditioner, the actual" room temperature "is important, not the" set temperature. " It is important to keep in mind. If you have more than one person, decide the temperature according to the "hottest person".
If you feel cold, please take measures such as wearing socks and a jacket. "
First aid to remember
1. A person who was in a hot environment became ill → Suspect heat stroke!
2. Are you conscious?
3. Can you drink water yourself?
4. Did the symptoms improve?
If a person in a hot place feels sick, suspect heat stroke.
If you are not conscious, call 119 immediately. While waiting, move to a cool place to loosen your clothes and cool yourself.
Even if you are conscious, move to a cool place to cool your body, and if you can drink water yourself, give water or salt such as cold water or sports drinks.
If you cannot drink water yourself, or if drinking water does not improve your symptoms, a person who knows the situation should accompany you to the hospital.
