KOTA KINABALU: During this hot season, one must be wary of not only the extreme heat but also snakes, says Sabah Health Department.
State Health director Dr Asits Sanna said with the hot weather, reptiles such as snakes and lizards would find ground such as housing areas to seek shelter from the heat and search for food.
Dr Asits said Sabah recorded 16 such cases during this period, with three incidents of heat cramps, 10 reports of heat exhaustion and three cases of heat strokes. “The student was sent to a government hospital for treatment and was allowed to return home on the same day,” said Dr Asits. “Cut down on physical and outdoor activities when it’s too hot. Watch and monitor your children’s activities and encourage them to drink more plain water and bring their own bottled water to school,” Dr Asits said.
