During the main days of the celebration, medical services warn of an increase in consultations for dizziness and exhaustion. Experts point out that many people spend hours exposed to the sun without proper hydration or protective measures, which can lead to serious health problems.
Groups with higher vulnerability include children, the elderly, and patients with chronic illnesses or specific pharmacological treatments. Furthermore, alcohol consumption during the festivities can hinder the perception of initial symptoms and promote dehydration.
“"If a person shows confusion, difficulty responding, loss of consciousness, or a very high body temperature, we must call emergency services immediately. Speed in care can make the difference."
To enjoy the festivities safely, it is recommended to drink water frequently, wear light clothing and sunscreen, and avoid direct sun exposure between 12:00 and 17:00. Seeking shaded areas during crowded events is another key measure to minimize risks.
