In one of our lectures this evening, preparing for the freak weather conditions that will no doubt accompany the ‘agressive camping’ that we’ll be doing over the weekend, we discussed extremes of temperature. First aid teaches us that when someone exhibits the following signs, they’re likely to be suffering from Hyperthermia:
- Headaches
- Thirst
- Clammy skin
- Weak and rapid pulse
- Increased respiratory rate
- Dizzy and confused
These are, funnily enough, many of the signs that I’m ‘exhibiting’ everyday at the moment. Seriously man… too much work. It’s not fun.
This weekend will be wonderful weather after all the preparation for foul conditions!
