It's hot, so staying indoors won't cause heatstroke?

Not exactly.

Heatstroke is not a "patent" outdoors. In summer, outdoor high temperature and heat, indoor sultry heat and lack of ventilation may all lead to heatstroke. According to the different causes and susceptible people, heatstroke can be divided into non-labor heatstroke (also known as classic heatstroke) and labor heatstroke.

The former is common in young people, pregnant women and the elderly, while the latter is common in strenuous exercise and high-intensity physical activity in summer. A considerable number of these high-intensity manual workers are workers, including outdoor workers such as construction workers and sanitation workers, as well as indoor workers such as decoration workers and workshop workers.

The key to reduce the death rate of heatstroke

Heatstroke is the most serious emergency related to high temperature, that is, severe heatstroke, which is a serious fatal disease, accompanied by burning sensation of skin, disturbance of consciousness (such as delirium, convulsion and coma) and multiple organ dysfunction. It is the most serious kind of heatstroke, and once it happens, the mortality rate is extremely high.

Prevention is the key to reduce the mortality of heatstroke. The most effective preventive measures are to avoid high temperature (high humidity) and unventilated environment, reduce and avoid the risk factors of heatstroke, ensure adequate rest time and avoid dehydration, thus reducing the incidence and mortality of heatstroke.
