The Dhaka Times Desk We have heard for a long time that drinking more water is good for the body. Doctors also give such advice. However, this time in 20 minutes after drinking 4 liters of water, the American woman died!
While drinking more water is beneficial, drinking too much water can also be dangerous. Even death can happen! As unbelievable as it may sound, such a thing happened recently in the United States. A woman died after drinking 4 liters of water in 20 minutes.
It is known that the deceased woman is 35 years old and her name is Ashley Summers. He was a resident of the state of Indiana in the United States. Ashle felt 'dehydration' while going out with family. That's why he drinks about 4 liters of water in 20 minutes. Then he died. Doctors said that Ashal died due to poisoning due to drinking excess water.
So what exactly happened to Ashal?
Ashle's brother Devob Miller said that last July 4, Ashle was out with her husband and two daughters. He feels dehydrated after being out all day. That's why he started drinking more water. He drank 4 liters of water in 20 minutes.
Ashle felt sick after drinking the water. He feels headache, pain in body and hands. Then before reaching home, Ashle fell unconscious in the garage. He was then rushed to the hospital. He never regained consciousness.
Later, hospital doctors declared Ashle dead. Drinking too much water can cause 'water poisoning', called 'hyponatremia'. The doctors said that Ashal died due to this. That is, due to drinking excess water, sodium and potassium in the blood decrease. Due to which Ashal died.
Ashal's family is shocked by such an incident. The poisoning and death that can occur from drinking too much water is unimaginable, said Miller.
American doctor Dr. Deaths from drinking too much water, however, are rare, Blake Froberg said. But not unusual. Because drinking too much water reduces sodium and potassium along with various liquid components of the blood. That can cause death. So this doctor advises to be careful about drinking water even if you are dehydrated during summer. References: https://india.postsen.com

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
