Thursday, June 16, the heat wave hits France. Organizations are set to tough test with these very hot temperatures, as journalist and doctor Damien explains Mascret on the tray from 20 hours.
The extreme heat that rages in France tires the bodies and people who suffer from it. These temperatures have several impacts, such as perspiration which allows the heat to be evacuated. “You will sweat because the blood is diverted to the surface of the skin, it means that the heart has an extra job, it’s tiring”analyzes the journalist and doctor Damien Mascret, present on the 20 Hours set, Thursday June 16. To rest it, it is necessary to favor cool places to find sleep. Hydration is also decisive for being able to sweat.
Other risks exist, but one of the most important is heat stroke. Many symptoms can appear as nausea which sometimes leads to vomiting or simply headache. If these heat strokes are too violent, some people may feel faint and lose consciousness. People with fragile health are obviously vulnerable to this heat wave.
