Njengoko imozulu eshushu iqhubeka kule hlobo, abantu kufuneka banakekele izilwanyana zabo ezifuywayo. Izinja nazo zinokuchaphazeleka ngamaqondo obushushu aphezulu. Nangona kunjalo, ezinye izinja zichaphazeleka lula kunezinye. Ukwazi iimpawu ze-heatstroke kunye ne-stroke ezinjeni kunokukunceda ugcine umhlobo wakho onoboya ukhuselekile ngexesha lemozulu eshushu.
Ngokutsho kwenqaku lika-2017 elipapashwe kwijenali i-Temperature, i-heat stroke yimeko yezonyango ebangelwa “kukungakwazi ukukhupha ubushushu obugciniweyo ngexesha lokuvezwa kwiindawo ezishushu okanye ngexesha lomsebenzi onzima womzimba ngexesha loxinzelelo lobushushu.” I-heatstroke inokuba yingozi ezinjeni nakubantu.
UMaria Verbrugge, umqeqeshi weklinikhi weamayeza ezilwanyanakwiSikolo sezonyango lwezilwanyana kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin eMadison, uthi ubushushu bomzimba obuqhelekileyo benja bumalunga ne-101.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Xa ubushushu bomzimba wakho budlula i-102.5 degrees, butshisa kakhulu, utshilo. “I-104 degrees yindawo eyingozi.”
Ngokunika ingqalelo kwiimvakalelo zakho, ungayiqonda indlela inja yakho evakalelwa ngayo. “Ukuba abantu baziva bengakhululekanga ngaphandle, nezinja zisenokuqala ukuziva zingakhululekanga,” utshilo.
Uhlobo lwenja luza kugqiba nokuba amaqondo obushushu aphezulu aza kuyichaphazela njani injana yakho. Umzekelo, uWellbrugg uthe izinja ezineengubo ezixineneyo zilungele ngcono imozulu ebandayo kunemozulu efudumeleyo. Ehlotyeni zinokuba sengozini yokutshisa ngokukhawuleza. Izinja ezine-brachycephalic okanye ubuso obuthe tyaba nazo zinobunzima kwimozulu eshushu. Amathambo azo obuso kunye nempumlo zimfutshane, iimpumlo zazo zincinci, kwaye iindlela zazo zomoya zincinci, nto leyo eyenza kube nzima ukuba ziphefumle, eyona ndlela yazo iphambili yokulahlekelwa bubushushu.
Izinja eziselula nezisebenzayo nazo zisengozini yokuhlaselwa bubushushu ngenxa yokuzibhokoxa kakhulu. Injana edlala ibhola isenokungakuboni ukudinwa okanye ukungonwabi, ngoko ke kuxhomekeke kumnini wesilwanyana ukuba anike amanzi amaninzi aze agqibe ukuba lixesha lini lokuphumla emthunzini.
Kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuba ubushushu begumbi lenja yakho bukhululekile. Ukuba ushiya inja yakho ekhaya xa kushushu, uVerbrugge ucebisa ukuba ubeke i-thermostat okanye i-air conditioner kwindawo efana naleyo ibiya kuba yiyo ukuba ubusekhaya. Kubalulekile nokuqinisekisa ukuba inja yakho ihlala inamanzi acocekileyo ekhaya.
Ukufudumala kakhulu akusongeli ubomi. Ukuziva ubushushu xa uhamba kunokukhululeka ngokusebenzisa i-air conditioner namanzi. Kodwa ukubetha kobushushu kunokutshintsha ukusebenza kwamalungu omzimba wakho. Ukuvezwa ixesha elide kumaqondo obushushu aphezulu kunokubangela umonakalo engqondweni, esibindini nakwindlela yokugaya ukutya.
I-Verbrugge ikwabonelela ngeempawu eziya kukulumkisa ukuba inja yakho inesifo soxinzelelo lwegazi. Umzekelo, nangona ukuphefumla kancinci kuyinto eqhelekileyo, inja enesifo soxinzelelo lwegazi inokuqhubeka ikhefuzela nasemva kokuphumla. Ubunzima bokuphefumla bunokubangela ubuthathaka bemilenze, nto leyo ekhokelela ekuweni. Ukuba inja yakho iphelelwe lithemba, lixesha lokuba uyiyise kugqirha wezilwanyana.
Iintsuku zasehlotyeni zimnandi, kodwa imozulu eshushu kakhulu ibeka wonke umntu emngciphekweni. Ukwazi iimpawu zesifo sobushushu kunye nendlela yokungenelela kunokunceda ukuthintela umonakalo ongunaphakade kunye nokunciphisa umngcipheko wakho.
