       as the heatwave hits both america and europe, this is a handy infographic to pass aroundpeople who are elderly, young, or chronically ill are more susceptible to this!many head meds (SSRIs, etc) make this more likely as well!heatstroke can also come with confusion and other mental symptoms. if you see someone who is warm to the touch, not sweating, and acting oddly in this heat (especially if in categories of ppl at risk) - please help get them medical attention! heatstroke can kill!

       @wigglytuffitout https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/heat-stress-preventing-heatstroke a few hot weather tips that were new to me:-Eat frequent, smaller, cold meals.-Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes with natural fibers like cotton and linen.-Close blinds or curtains-Drink plenty of cool, non-alcoholic fluids even if you’re not thirsty, but avoid drinking extremely cold liquids as they can cause stomach cramps.

       @fructose_dealer @wigglytuffitout One that I use is to put a wet towel in the freezer and use to cool down. Should be used careful though to not shock the body too much. Personally I use it on my neck and later when it is a bit warmer/softer I put it over my head.
