In the summer season, sudden rain causes coolness in the air and it is pleasant for many people. At such a time, many people enjoy getting wet in the rain. But our elders have always advised us to be careful about this. Because, soaking in rain in summer, there is a high risk of health deteriorating. There are some important reasons behind this.

First, the body temperature is already higher in summer. When there is a cold rain on the body suddenly, the body temperature changes rapidly. This temporarily weakens the immune system and can cause problems such as cold, cough, fever and body pain. The second reason is that dust, pollution and harmful chemicals come down from the atmosphere during unseasonal summer rains, so if that water falls on the skin, it can cause problems such as itching, allergies, skin infections or eye irritation.

The third important reason is that if you stay in wet clothes for a long time after getting wet in the rain, then your body will cool down and you will increase the chances of cold, fever or body pain. Additionally, staying in such a wet state for a long time increases the risk of fungal infection, especially in toes, sides and other sensitive areas. The water stored due to rain gives birth to mosquitoes, which invite diseases like dengue and malaria. Therefore, it is important to be careful if there is a desire to get wet in such a rain.

Some important safety measures include wearing dry clothes immediately after getting wet in the rain and wipe your body well. If the hair remains wet then the risk of cold increases, so the hair should be dried well with towels or use a soft dryer. Drink hot water to keep the body temperature balanced, or drink hot soup, turmeric-milk, or lemon-turmeric decoction. If you feel too cold, then ginger, basil, turmeric and black pepper decoction is useful, because it contains natural immune components that make the body strong. Avoid going into the cold air of AC immediately after getting wet, as the body already cools down and in such a time, coming into contact with cold can cause fever or body pain. In addition, wet socks or shoes should be replaced as soon as possible, as they increase the risk of fungal infection. If you feel any allergy, redness, irritation or itching on the skin, do not ignore it and consult a doctor immediately. Taking some such precautions, along with enjoying the rain, your health will also be safe.
