25-year-old fireman died of heatstroke by removing hornet's nest. How to avoid heatstroke in summer?

Many areas in China are experiencing the test of intense heat. Heatstroke can lead to dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat and even death.

12 In August, Yu Wang, a firefighter in Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, died at 9: 43 on August 13 due to high temperature heatstroke during the emergency rescue to clear the hornet's nest. He is only 25 years old, less than 1 month before he joined the army.

His uncle said: "Yu Wang will retire on September 2 this year, so he wants to do more." On the day of the incident, the aunt of the squadron canteen asked for leave. Yu Wang was busy for a long time and cooked a big table of food. Before I had time to eat, I received an alarm, so I led a team to perform the task. "Unexpectedly, the hero will never get the last lunch.

Usually I don't pay attention to heatstroke, thinking that drinking a little Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid can avoid heatstroke. However, there are precedents for deaths caused by high temperatures. At one time, 1 1 people died of high temperature in Japan.

Why does heatstroke lead to death? There are two kinds of heatstroke. One is acute heatstroke. If you sweat in a high temperature environment, you will have palpitation, chest tightness, dyspnea, syncope and even sudden death. The reason for this kind of death is that the human body reacts violently inside the cells in the high temperature environment, which leads to the stop of cell circulation and death. The second is chronic heatstroke. This kind of heatstroke is caused by the reaction inside the cell when the temperature is not too high, which gradually forms pathological cells, and then suddenly has a high fever, and the cells stop circulating, leading to death.

In the face of high temperature and summer heat, we should take effective measures:

Take appropriate heatstroke prevention and cooling measures.

Don't be reluctant to turn on the air conditioner indoors. It is recommended to open it at around 26℃. Don't adjust the air conditioning temperature too low, generally not lower than 24℃.

Constantly remind yourself to replenish water.

Don't wait until you are thirsty. You need to add about 1.5 liters of water every day, and avoid drinking too cold frozen drinks to avoid stomach cramps.

Lettuce, cucumber, tomato and other foods have high water content; Fresh fruits with water content of 80% to 90%, such as watermelon and melon, can be used to supplement water.

Take precautions when going out.

Wear sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses or an umbrella. Avoid traveling around noon and choose outdoor activities in the shade.

I hope everyone will keep in mind the heatstroke prevention guide!
