No sweat can be even more dangerous.

If you are not sweating in such hot weather, it could actually be a dangerous sign for your health.

Let's look into this along with health information regarding heatstroke.

Professor Ko Dong-ryong of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Gangnam Severance Hospital explains that if heatstroke is left untreated, body temperature can rise above 40°C (104°F) and a lack of sweating can lead to impaired organ function.

Spending a long time in hot places can cause the central nervous system that regulates body temperature to lose its function.

At this time, the ability to sweat can also break down, causing body temperature to continuously rise.

When heatstroke occurs, you must immediately move to a shady area or an indoor space with air conditioning, and if symptoms are severe, you should obviously seek medical treatment right away.
