It’s that time of the year again! While you may be in the mood for sipping margaritas all day long, work can’t stall during the summer. Usually, we keep our summer gear ready before the scorching sun hits us. But, since we’re living in the pandemic era, we have lived confined indoors for the past 2 years. While this has been the only upside of the Covid-19 lockdowns, it has raised our chances of getting heat exhaustion. Staying cooped up at home in airy pajamas with air conditioner blasting has also reduced our heat tolerance.

However, the blissful days ended as offices and colleges or schools are now functioning in full capacity and most of us are forced to face the sun. Constant sun exposure has terrible effects on our body. If you’re somebody who has been experiencing something like that but don’t know it yet, why don’t you quiz yourself about it?
