Recently, a woman surnamed Zhang, turned pale and felt dizzy while having a rafting trip, and her limbs also became stiff. Given the temperature of 41 C that day, everyone thought Zhang got sick because of sunstroke, but she kept saying she was cold. The police immediately called an ambulance. 

After being examined by doctors, Zhang turned out to have gotten hypothermia. The doctor said that it might be because her clothes were soaked during rafting, and when the clothes became dry in the hot weather, the high-temperature evaporation took away the heat in her body, causing her body temperature to drop continuously and leading to hypothermia. After treatment, Zhang was out of danger, and she sent the police a thank-you note for saving her. 

Some netizens said it was the first time they learned about getting hypothermia at a high temperature, and they will take care of themselves and the people around them if they meet such a situation. Others commented that hypothermia could be fatal, as 21 people were dead from hypothermia in a mountain marathon in Northwest China's Gansu Province in May 2021 after experiencing low body temperature for a prolonged period because of the extreme weather there.
