If the core temperature of our body exceeds 40 degrees, then death can occur.
Highlights
- Humans can tolerate even if the external temperature is more than 50 degrees.
- Heat stroke can occur when the internal temperature of the body is above 40 degrees.
- There is a severe danger when the exterior temperature remains above 55 degrees longer.
Body temperature limits: The temperature increases significantly during the summer season. Especially in many states of North India, there is a fire from the sky in summer. Recently, a temperature in a city in Rajasthan was recorded around 50 degrees Celsius. Usually the temperature is between 40 to 50 ° C in summer. However, when it crosses 45 degrees, people get a bad condition with the heat. Many times it seems that now the heat will not be tolerated and if it does not cool immediately, then life will come out. Now the question is, how much heat can our body tolerate and how many degrees Celsius can death occur?
The human body normally works properly at temperatures between 36.5 to 37.5 ° C. This temperature is most favorable for the internal organs and brain of the body. Slight fluctuations in internal temperature of the body are considered normal, but when this temperature reaches close to 40 ° C, it is a very serious condition, which is called heat stroke. Every year, in the summer season, many people lose their lives due to heat stroke.
According to medical research, there is a serious danger when the external temperature remains above 55 degrees Celsius for a long time. It becomes almost impossible for humans to maintain a safe environment at such a temperature. If the core temperature of the body goes above 40 ° C, the brain and other vital organs start damaging, which can be fatal. When there is excess moisture with excessive temperature, the situation becomes even more dangerous, because the body is not able to cool itself through sweat. The external temperature is not the cause of death alone, but when it excessively leads to dangerous levels of internal temperature of the body, then there is a serious danger to health.
