year. </span> <span data-start-time='5438' data-end-time='22813'>The World Health Organization estimates that from 1998 to 2017 more than 166,000 people died as a result of extreme heatwaves. </span> <span data-start-time='22813' data-end-time='33458'>That includes the more than 70,000 people who died during the 2003 heatwave in Europe.</span> <span data-start-time='33458' data-end-time='39958'>Yet, heat-related deaths and sickness are preventable. </span> <span data-start-time='39958' data-end-time='47708'>There are steps you can take to stay safe during periods of very high temperatures.</span> <span data-start-time='47708' data-end-time='56854'>Many things can affect your body’s ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather.</span> <span data-start-time='56854' data-end-time='65896'>For example, when the humidity is high, body sweat will not dry as quickly. </span> <span data-start-time='65896' data-end-time='70521'>This restricts the body’s ability to release heat. </span> <span data-start-time='70521' data-end-time='79333'>So, pay attention to not only the temperature in your area but also the level of humidity.</span> <span data-start-time='79333' data-end-time='84188'>Also, take note of nighttime temperatures. </span> <span data-start-time='84188' data-end-time='97042'>Experts say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much past the highest daytime temperature. </span> <span data-start-time='97042' data-end-time='102833'>Our bodies repair themselves at night when we sleep. </span> <span data-start-time='102833' data-end-time='109563'>So, hot nighttime temperatures put great pressure on the human body.</span> <span data-start-time='109563' data-end-time='116042'>Some foods and drugs can also affect the body's temperature. </span> <span data-start-time='116042' data-end-time='125313'>Alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, for example, can weaken the body’s system for cooling itself.</span> <span data-start-time='125313' data-end-time='140833'>On its website, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, explains that some people are at high risk of suffering from heat-related illnesses.</span> <span data-start-time='140833' data-end-time='148354'>A person’s age and weight play a part in surviving high temperatures. </span> <span data-start-time='148354' data-end-time='160521'>People over 65 years of age and under the age of two are especially at risk of becoming sick from heat.</span> <span data-start-time='160521' data-end-time='165854'>Your general health is also important to consider. </span> <span data-start-time='165854' data-end-time='181021'>The CDC states that long-term diseases and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and mental illness can put a person at greater risk.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button
