Avoid heat stroke in summer by not taking hot baths

idiot

A few days ago ATV news aired a special report about the dangers of heat stroke. Examples of risky activities that could cause heat stroke were given, and tips were provided on how to stay cool.

Here’s a short clip from the report about a “Mr. A” who, like many Japanese, likes to take hot baths in the middle of summer:

Mr. A took a hot bath after only drinking a beer with his meal. He kept the window to the bathroom shut because the neighbors’ house was only a few feet away from that window. As he finished his bath and pulled out the drain stopper, he passed out from the heat. Had his heat stroke occurred before he pulled out the drain stopper, he could have drowned. Luckily, he family found him in an empty tub and was able to take him to the hospital.

I’ve read your comment three times and I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

It’s what happens when you drink too much then have a hot bath in summer….

1. Don’t drink before taking bath. Bad bad bad idea.

2. Don’t eat a lot right before taking bath. Another bad bad bad idea.

3. If you must take hot bath doing the above, then never ever ever get up suddenly. Do it really slowly, checking to see if your brain is getting adequate blood supply. You will know when it’s not getting enough blood.

Japan has toilets that humbly thank you for your waste but not air conditioning?

AC while taking a bath? That completely nullifies the point of taking a hot bath…

just for the record, what do these toilets say?
/me has nightmare thought of: ウンコをどうもありがとうでござります、ごしゅうじんさまm（ーー）m

Why do you think the toilet is going to call people prisoners?

I’ve never understood the attraction of getting into a scalding hot bath when you’re already drooping from summer heat. Maybe it’s me: I’ve never wanted to jump into an ice-cold river in January either.

Japanese people also drink hot tea all year long no matter how hot it is outside.

Actually it’s good to drink warm things when it’s hot outside. This will provoke your body to really power up the cooling mechanism.
