diseases. Basically, you might get attacked by stomach problems.
Few Suggestions
Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest hours, and make sure you drink
plenty of non-alcoholic liquids to balance the loss of body fluid through
perspiration. What you drink must be safe - either soft drinks from sealed
cans or bottles, or water which has been boiled or is bottled. Carry
protective creams suitable for your skin type, which will help protect
unavoidably exposed parts of the body. Stay out of the scorching sun, use
what shade there is at other times, and cover up with a wide-brimmed hat and
tightly woven but loose clothing.
