What is the difference between sitting in a sauna vs sitting in a car left outside in the summer heat? Why is one regarded as healthy and the other often fatal?
In: Biology
A sauna is a therapeutic environment combining heat and humidity, mostly for adults, and you’re free to leave any time. However, a hot car is just heat. If a small child is locked and forgotten inside, they have no way of getting out, and die of hyperthermia. It’s not negligence as much as an exhausted parent, a miscommunication, and child seats’ being in the back of the car. It could happen to anyone, which is what makes it particularly terrifying.
