Bangkok (ASTV Manager Online) – Sweltering weather can lead to swooning as the body sweats too much, according to the public health ministry.
People who work in the sunlight are suggested to drink 8-15 glasses of clean water per day.
Fainting is caused by high heat. Swooning people should be taken into the shade to get the first-aid help.
Long period of exposure to sunlight is likely to cause burning and even skin cancers in the long run.
Skin cancers generally develop in epidermis. Unlike some other cancers, skin cancers result in a minority death of those who are infected.
It is estimated that 85 percent of cases are caused by too much sunlight.
A syndrome that increases the risk of some skin cancers may be linked to that increases the risk of colon cancer, according to researchers at the Ohio State University.
The so-called Lynch syndrome is an inherited condition which predisposes a person to colon cancer tends, and put people at greater risk of certain skin cancers.
