INTERCEPTION SENSE HEART RATE TEMPERATURE/ VASOMOTOR VISCERAL SENSATION ITCH HUNGER/ THIRST ELIMINATION/ TOILETING SOMATIC SENSATIONS RESPIRATION Interception involves being aware of internal body functions like hunger, thirst, and the need to use the bathroom. Children with interceptive difficulties may not recognize these basic needs, requiring extra support from parents to manage them.

HEAT-RELATED ILLNESSES WHAT TO LOOK FOR HEAT STROKE • High body temperature (103°F or higher) • Hot, red, dry, or damp skin • Fast, strong pulse • Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Confusion • Losing consciousness (passing out) WHAT TO DO • Call 911 right away-heat stroke is a medical emergency • Move the person to a cooler place • Help lower the person's temperature with cool cloths or a cool bath • Do not give the person anything to drink HEAT EXHAUSTION • Heavy sweating • Cold, pale, and clammy skin • Fast, weak pulse • Nausea or vomiting • Muscle cramps • Tiredness or weakness • Dizziness • Headache • Fainting (passing out) WHAT TO DO • Move to a cool place • Loosen your clothes • Put cool, wet cloths on your body or take a cool bath • Sip water Get medical help right away if: • You are throwing up • Your symptoms get worse • Your symptoms last longer than 1 hour HEAT CRAMPS • Heavy sweating during intense exercise • Muscle pain or spasms WHAT TO DO • Stop physical activity and move to a cool place • Drink water or a sports drink • Wait for cramps to go away before you do any more physical activity Get medical help right away if: • Cramps last longer than 1 hour • You're on a low-sodium diet • You have heart problems SUNBURN • Painful, red, and warm skin • Blisters on the skin WHAT TO DO • Stay out of the sun until your sunburn heals • Put cool cloths on sunburned areas or take a cool bath • Put moisturizing lotion on sunburned areas • Do not break blisters HEAT RASH • Red clusters of small blisters that look like pimples on the skin (usually on the neck, chest, groin, or in elbow creases) WHAT TO DO • Stay in a cool, dry place • Keep the rash dry • Use powder (like baby powder) to soothe the rash

Aye, If you are taking any SSRIs:
Fluoxetine (Prozac), Sertraline (Zoloft), Paroxetine (Paxil), Citalopram (Celexa), & Escitalopram (Lexapro)…
You have an increased risk of heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.

Especially if you are neurodivergent & struggle with Interoception.

WBGT risk. >90F gives "body stressed after 15 minutes. HEAT STROKE likely." And "take at least 45 minutes of breaks each hour if working or exercising in direct sunlight"

The WBGT is peaking above 90F today, so like, literally be careful.

a diagram of heat exhaustion vs heat stroke. on the heat exhaustion side, it states dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness as symptoms and to treat it by moving to a cooler area, loosen clothing, sipping cool water, and seeking medical help if symptoms do not improve. on the heat stroke side, it states confusion, dizziness, and become unconscious as symptoms with saying to call 911, moving person to a cooler area, loosening clothing and removing extra layers, and giving cool water or ice as remedies. it also states heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke and that heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given

also, here's the SYMPTOMS of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. good to familiarize yourself with it!!

The reason dogs get heat stroke at temps we don’t is because they don’t sweat so they can ONLY lose heat by panting. Which is less efficient than us being hairless apes spraying sweat all over the place.
So keep your dogs INSIDE this week, it’s too damn dangerous for them.

Also, learn about heat stroke / heat exhaustion.

And be safe, dammit!

Each week our goal is to highlight one thing we
particularly need but we accept donations of this and all
our other requests all year round.

Donations can be dropped off at
19 Trinity Square (Church west of the Eaton Centre) on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11-1:30 pm - drop us a dm
to arrange other times!

We need shorts - text in this graphic is also available in this skeet thread.

This week's special request is for shorts! As temperatures rise, requests for shorts rises. Do you have shorts to share? We are almost out of shorts!
