Temperatures continue to soar, as a heat wave hangs on in the region. Health officials are warning people to be cautious and stay cool as they plan activities. With hotter temperatures and high humidity come greater chances of heat-related illnesses, from heat stroke to heat exhaustion. Dr. Bala Simon of the Arkansas Department of Health says people at higher risk for these health scares include young children, older adults, and people with disabilities or who are taking certain medications. He adds it’s important to recognize the wide range of symptoms that signal trouble.
Simon adds that heat-related illnesses are preventable. A big factor in body temperature regulation is sweating, which helps the body cool off. But when it’s humid, he explains, sweat doesn’t evaporate and can lead to people becoming overheated. He says there are small things anyone can do to stay cool.
Simon also advises people who are outdoors to wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen with a sun protection factor or “S-P-F” of 15 or higher.
