Heat can be deadly, killing more people every year than other weather hazards. But as hotter days become our new normal — or as some climate scientists say, our 'new abnormal' — the ill effects of higher temperatures on our bodies can persist a lot longer than you might think.
“There are probably some longer-term effects of those small particles that we don’t fully understand yet,” Tedeschi said. “They get deep into the lungs, they probably cause more inflammation, and may be responsible for more chronic diseases. Coupled with the heat, that’s a really dangerous combination.”
“I think about kids that are exposed to poor air quality chronically, and that is absolutely a risk for chronic asthma,” Tedeschi said. “If you look at asthma rates and look at heat index and access to green spaces, there’s a lot of correlation. And so I worry about kids, for instance, being exposed to poor air quality in such a way that either they develop respiratory problems, or the ones they already have, over the course of a lifetime, can get worse.
that between 2004 and 2018, reported illnesses from mosquito, tick and flea bites more than doubled to more than 760,000 reported cases nationwide.deadly fungi with the ability to infect humans Fungi, Spec explained, don’t do well at 98.6°F — the average body temperature of humans — and thrive best at temperatures around 77°. But more instances of extreme heat are weeding out those fungi that can only survive a temperate environment and allowing more heat-resistant fungi to thrive.
