Not Just Small Talk

Lucy, a 58 year old from North London, recounted her distressing experience during a recent holiday to Egypt’s North Coast. She described suffering severe sunburn and heatstroke, leading to hospitalisation upon her return home in July 2024. Despite many years of living in and visiting hot countries, Lucy had never experienced this before. As we see more extreme temperatures worldwide, Lucy is sharing her story to warn people of the dangers of sun exposure and the potentially life-threatening nature of heatstroke.
