According to the German Association of Internal Medicine, a so-called "heat stroke" can occur within a few minutes when a physical effort is made in a hot, humid environment.
"The heat stroke may also occur slowly over the course of hours or days," she said, noting that it attacks older people and obese people in particular.
The distinctive thermal blow symptoms in the skin and the hottest redness and dryness and rapid breathing and pulse, may also increase the body temperature to 41 degrees, in addition to some general symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, nausea and numbness.
If these symptoms are observed, the body should be immediately cooled by covering the patient's body with a wet sheet or by lying in a tub filled with cold water. In the absence of water, the patient should be lying in the shade and provide good ventilation and provide abundant water for him.
If the body is not cooled and the heat is released quickly, kidney and brain damage can occur. In any case, an emergency doctor should be called.
