SHARE ON:
Our most vulnerable are suffering from the heat wave.
So says Island Health… who say they don’t have any data to back up this claim, but add that anecdotal reports have seen a moderate increase in people, particularly seniors, seeking care for heat-related issues at hospitals.
They say to watch out for several symptoms: pale, cool, moist skin; heavy sweating; muscle cramps; rash; swelling of the hands and feet; fatigue; lightheadedness; headache; and nausea and vomiting.
They reaffirm how important it is to stay hydrated and to check in on the vulnerable people in our lives.
