Here Are Some Of The Diseases Who Are Looking Out For You:
Food poisoning
There are many things which can cause food poising. The main cause of food poisoning is unhealthy food and water. Food poisoning is caused when bacteria spreads all in our immune system and aggravates viruses and toxins. The consequences of food poisoning can be experienced in the form of stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting.
Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is one of the most common issues we experience in summers. A lot of sun exposure brings a lot of issues too and heat stroke is one of them. Heat stroke’s symptoms are a headache, dry skin, cramps, weakness, vomiting, palpitation and upset breathing. If you are suffering from heat stroke, the first thing you are likely to experience in dizziness and nausea. Consequently, you are more prone to issues such as seizures. Try to avoid going in the sun unnecessarily and if you still plan to go, wear the lightest clothes and colours.
Sun Burns
Sun exposure is immensely harmful to our skin too. Too much exposure in the sun can cause us various reactions such as sun burns. The UV rays can cause extreme sunburn which can later develop into skin cancer. Sunburns might not look bad but they certainly do feel bad, the skin gets irritated and itchy. It also turns red and dry and develops cracks. The after effects of sunburns are:

In case of too much burning, one can experience blisters and skin peeling off. Try to keep your skin hydrated and protected as much as possible. Apply sunscreen and take preventive measures.
Skin rashes
Skin rash is a very common problem in both children and adults. These rashes do not need any exposure, they can occur in any environment and atmosphere around summertime. Skin rashes are a result of too much sweating and wearing thick clothes. They are easily visible and cause skin itching and irritation. Contact a doctor for treatment if it does not heal.
Typhoid
Typhoid is another common and problematic disease we can face in summers. It is contagious and can be passed to any healthy individual. This is a result of unhygienic food and water, which aggravates bacteria and other harmful viruses in our body.
Thyphoid has many visible symptoms such as:
