Global warming is upon us and we need to be ready to
cope with the effects. Everyone should study up on the symptoms and treatment for
heat exhaustion because it is DEADLY. Summertime is likely to bring us some hot deadly days.
Record breaking heat, like 120 degrees in Phoenix, Palm Springs and Death Valley;
experts say, will be the normal by 2050. The extreme heat has already taken the
lives of several people in Arizona. Headlines read, Extreme Heat kills 4 hikers in Arizona.
These were folks in their twenties... all these deaths are preventable.
In other news, a plane from Texas was forced to turn back, uncertain of what would happen if
it tried to land in 120 degree temperatures in Phoenix.... it is crazy hot out there.
Recently I nearly fainted in 105 degree heat. I was saved because some folks nearby knew what
was happening, they put an ice pack on my neck, put me in a shady place to rest and gave me
water to drink.
Please know the symptoms and treatment for heat exhaustion to protect yourselves and help
others in an emergency.
My experience woke me up to the danger of heat exposure and exhaustion
which is in fact DEADLY. So please, everyone, don't underestimate the dangers when
record breaking temperatures come your way.. Stay cool, rest in the shade, and drink plenty of water.
Do not underestimate the danger.
Please be safe everyone.
