Disability and the heatwave: 'Dizziness, dehydration and my cooling body armour'
The current heatwave is causing all sorts of challenges to daily life from difficulties in sleeping to sweating through the commute, but for disabled people and those with mental ill-health, the heat can add many more serious complications and frustrations. SLOTXO No risk-taking issues in all aspects. The most organized and designed gambling comes from a group of programmers, a graphic group with the best knowledge and understanding. BBC Access All podcast presenter Emma Tracey has been blind since birth. She has some light perception and while the heat doesn't directly affect her, protecting herself from the sun's rays can be difficult when she wants to get out and about. "I don't wear sunglasses because they dim my light perception," she says. "I normally look at the darkness of objects either side of me to keep myself in a straight line, that's less easy with sunglasses on. " Emma also uses echolocation - listening to sounds bouncing off nearby hard surfaces to judge where she is, spatially. But, in order to hear those echoes, she also has to give up another piece of vital sun protection. "I don't wear a hat because it messes up my sound shadows. When I wear a sunhat, with a brim or a peak, that changes the sounds I hear and makes it more difficult to get the information I need from my surroundings." Emma doesn't currently use a guide dog, but for those who do, Guide Dogs UK has some advice about when and when not to work them. "Test out a pavement by putting your hand on it for a few seconds. If it's too hot for your hand, then it's too hot for your dog." While Emma's experience is quite unique, thousands of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have been struggling in this heat. |
