過熱潮濕招暑邪
花師奶：「最近和朋友在爭拗：冬天有可能中暑嗎？」
CheckCheckCin：暑邪是常見於夏季的致病原因，暑邪有三大特性：一、炎熱，暑邪傷人會使人出現發燒、出汗、煩躁等症狀；二、上升散發，受暑邪侵襲會使毛孔打開出汗，耗損津液會令人感到口渴、小便量少色黃，傷津耗氣容易導致頭暈、呼吸急促、抽筋等；三、常與濕邪結合傷人，濕度高的環境令人體汗水難以揮發，身體未能靠出汗散熱，令人出現四肢困倦、食慾不振、胸悶等症狀，所以本身濕氣重的人特別容易中暑。
不論時節，只要天氣炎熱加上濕度高都容易引致中暑，如果在冬天暖氣大開令室內溫度上升，窗戶緊閉令室內空氣不流通，或者穿衣過多過度保暖(最常發生在嬰孩身上)，加上濕度高的話都會造成中暑。中暑有輕微和嚴重程度之分，如果在輕微中暑時已及早察覺，症狀包括大量出汗、口乾舌躁、作嘔作悶、沒有食慾、容易疲累等，及時走到通風地方，慢慢喝溫水補充水份，讓身體自然散熱，就能避免嚴重的中暑症狀。

Heat and humidity can cause heat pathogen
“I had an argument with a friend: is it possible to get a heatstroke during winter?”
CheckCheckCin: Heat pathogen is a common cause of illnesses during winter, and there are three major characteristics of heat pathogen. Firstly, bodiky damage from heat can lead to symptoms such as fever, sweating and irritability. Secondly, it rises and spreads. Pores open and you sweat under attack from heat pathogen. Losing fluids can lead to thirst, yellowish urine with low volume. Losing too much fluid and qi will easily lead to dizziness, shortness of breath, cramps. Thirdly, it usually harms the body with dampness. The high humidity environment makes it difficult for sweat to evaporate, the body fails to cool down by sweating. It causes symptoms such as fatigue in the limbs, poor appetite, and chest tightness. Therefore, people with dampness stagnation are prone to heat stroke.
No matter which season it is, hot weather with high humidity can easily cause heat stroke. If the heater is on to raise the room temperature, windows are closed and air is not circulating, or you have many layers of clothes to keep warm (common in babies or children), coupled with high humidity may cause heat stroke. Heat stroke is categorized into mild and severe. If you detect it early during mild heat stroke, symptoms include heavy sweating, dry mouth, nausea, lack of appetite, and easily fatigued. Go to a ventilated place quickly and drink warm water slowly to replenish fluid and allow the body to cool down naturally, thus preventing severe heat stroke symptoms.
