Extreme Summer conditions and precautionary measures

Hi, everyone.

Hope you all will be in good health. Today's the 25th of May in Pakistan, and summer has started. May is considered the 3rd most hot month of summer after June and July. A few days are remaining to start June (the hottest month). But in my area, there was no rain for about 3-4 months. So the start of summer was too bad. May was too much hot and we all were facing heat stroke. Many people died of heat stroke.But thanks to Allah Almighty, as we are living near to Kashmir. There was rain and a cool breeze in Kashmir. These cool breezes move toward our side making the temperature normal. So there is a little bit of humidity. But now again, the temperature is increasing day by day making summer hotter. The average temperature observed during May was up to 96°F. People are very heartless and sad due to the increasing temperature. There is load shedding in the whole of Pakistan every time. Poor people have no facilities and are facing a lot of difficulties. They cannot afford AC or fruits to overcome these heat strokes. Today I will talk about hot summer and heat stroke.Here the questions are:

What are heat stroke and its causes and symptoms?

How we can overcome it?

Heat stroke is basically prolonged

contact with high temperatures. It occurred when someone is facing high temperatures continuously for many hours. The main and important cause of heat stroke is high temperature/heat/ hot summer. While its symptoms include: high body temperature or fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, skin redness, and fast heartbeat. It is very important to treat it properly. If you delayed it, it may damage your kidneys, muscles, heart, brain, etc.

Here are some treatments to lessen the heat stroke condition.

· Go to medical help

· Remove extra clothes to maintain temperature

· Take a bath with cold water

· Drink cold water

There are also some preventions:

· Wear loose fitting clothes

· Eat fruits and drink plenty of water

· Use an umbrella while going outside

· Treat sunburn

If we look around, not only humans, animals, and birds are also facing hot summers. These animals and birds are depending on us for food and water. There is no rain. So, they cannot find out water. So we should keep water on our roof walls or on our lawns. We should arrange cold water and food for them. We should take care of our pets as well. Give them proper food. We all love watermelon. We should put watermelon rind (green outside and white inner layer) for birds.. As I do.

(captured by me ..my live birds)

I have pigeons and hens. They all love to eat watermelon. It kept them hydrated. I put cold water and millets in a pot every morning and daytime for them. Wild birds also come there for food and water. As human beings, it is our responsibility to help other humans as well as birds and animals in this hot weather. It will make you happy to save someone's life.

With love...hope you will enjoy
