HEAT STROKE ON THE RISE WITH TEMPERATURES, KEEP HYDRATED|高溫頻傳中暑多 6月至今已83人次急診

The weather recently has been very hot and in Taitung, there was the first case of someone actually dying from the heat. An Indonesian laborer died from dehydration and heat stroke. The National Health Administration revealed that over the past six months, 83 people had sought emergency hospital treatment due to heat stroke and 69 of these were in the three days from June 6 to 8. Medical staff urged anyone working outside to drink lots of water and take regular breaks. On June 7 in Orchid Island's Kaiyuan Harbor, two Indonesian workers were unloading goods and were sent to emergency when they became ill. One was revived, but the other was too hot, could not be cooled down and died. Medical staff said although temperatures were not officially at 37 and 38 degrees, there were already many cases of heatstroke. ==CHU PO-LING Dir., TSGH PTHS Center== During winter we get used to colder weather and have not yet adjusted to the heat, so when summer first starts, there are more people who get heat stroke. The NHA said that since June 83 people sought emergency treatment for heatstroke and 69 of these were in the three days from June 6 to 8. Medical staff reminded those who work outside to stay hydrated and take breaks. ==CHU PO-LING Dir., TSGH PTHS Center == Wearing light colors or white helps to reflect the sun and light clothes dissipate heat better. You must drink according to the weather, the hotter it is the more you need to drink, and the longer you need to rest. The Central Weather Bureau said On June 7, a record high temperature of 35.5 Celsius was reached in Taipei, but in previous year at the start of June there had been temperatures of 36 Celsius and this weekend would be hot. ==CHEN WEI-LIANG CWB forecaster== From last Thursday to this Sunday, a high-pressure area in the Pacific is expanding and the effects of the sun heating up the ground will be very obvious, temperatures around midday will be from 34 to 36 Celsius. The NHA reminded the public that as soon as they felt their body temperature rise, skin becomes hot and red, heart speed up, they should take off hot clothes and shower with cold water to bring down body temperature and seek medical treatment if they feel uncomfortable.
