Recently an article appeared in the Dutch newspaper about the consequences of heat stroke. Many people underestimate the danger of heat, take signals from your body seriously.
Preventing heat stroke is of course better than cure. With our many years of experience in the field of personal cooling, we know better than anyone what the dangers of heat can be.
Working, sports and / or recreation can cause heat phenomena at increasing temperatures. Wearing a cooling cap or cooling vest, for example, can already cool the temperature of your body.
You can recognize heat stroke by the following symptoms:
- You feel weak, confused and / or nauseous.
- Your body looks red, but strangely enough you don't sweat.
What can you do about this immediately?
Immediately stop exercising and cooling, do not drink anything in case of severe symptoms. Because the loss of consciousness increases the risk that you will choke. Cool your body with a cold shower, damp cloths or a fan.
For severe heat stroke: Call or have someone call emergency services
