High temperature in Japan killed 57 people. How terrible is the high temperature?
Although heatstroke is not a disease, it can really kill people if it is serious. This is the same as shock. If people who are suffering from heatstroke or shock are not rescued in time, heatstroke and shock can be equally serious. It is life-threatening. This is why so many people have died from high temperatures in Japan. They died not from high temperatures but from heatstroke.
More than 70% of the human body is water. And even if the outside temperature has not reached the body's average temperature of 36 degrees, the water in the body will evaporate significantly, not to mention that the temperature in some places has exceeded 36 degrees. Many fat people understand this very well. It's okay for thin people to just sit still in high temperatures, but fat people sweat constantly when they don't move.
There is another thing that is very deadly about high temperatures, and that is sunlight. Why are there fewer accidents at night when the temperature is higher than during the day when the temperature is higher? This is because there is sunlight during the day. Direct sunlight on our skin will damage the skin. In severe cases, it can even burn the skin and leave permanent damage to the skin. These are just the effects of sunlight on the skin. In fact, sunlight is also fatal, because if the sunlight shines on a person’s face for a long time, it is likely to cause shock and heatstroke. Therefore, everyone must avoid direct sunlight when going out. If you are traveling in the sun, you can wear a sun hat and sun protective clothing.
The danger of heat is far greater than that of cold. Cold will only make people catch a cold. Only when the cold reaches a certain level and is exposed to cold for a long time can it be life-threatening. However, in a hot environment, it is very likely that someone will catch a cold. Everyone sees that you are very energetic one second, and you are lying on the ground suffering from heat stroke the next second.
