Prevention
Precisely in the Chilean Andes, from the north of Santiago, the sun is practically guaranteed. Requirements for each trip are hats or anything to cover the head, lip protection and sunblock lotion. If the head is exposed to sun irradiation for long periods of time, it will cause the vessels to dilate, which in turn could provoke the inflammation of the meninges. The symptoms are headaches and neck pain.
Symptoms
The head gets hot and then it aches, with nausea and vomiting.
Measures
Put the patient, with the trunk raised, in a fresh place. Cover the head and neck with wet cloths. |
