On June 27, 2024, United Nations declared the Earth is officially in the 'Boiling Era,' with rising global temperatures leading to a significant increase in heat-related injuries. Taiwan's Tzu Chi Hospital emphasized the importance of recognizing and managing heat injuries, especially in children aged 0-3, who are particularly vulnerable due to immature temperature regulation centers in their bodies. Symptoms progress rapidly from heat cramps to heat exhaustion and heatstroke, with fatal consequences if left untreated. Properly cooling the body, replenishing fluids, and seeking medical attention promptly are crucial in preventing heat-related fatalities.
