Mushroom poisoning occurs every year, mainly in autumn, according to the ministry. Many mushrooms emerge when a hot summer is followed by moderate rainfall and cooler mornings and evenings.

Health officials in the Philippines have issued a public warning about the dangers of heat stroke as the country begins to experience the effects of a strong El Niño phenomenon. The Department of Health (DOH) emphasized that heat stroke is life-threatening and requires immediate recognition of symptoms such as loss of consciousness, high body temperature, difficulty breathing, confusion, slurred speech, and convulsions. The DOH advised the public to seek immediate medical assistance by calling the National Emergency Hotline 911 or taking the patient to the nearest health facility if these symptoms are observed. In addition to heat stroke, the DOH also highlighted heat exhaustion as another heat-related illness that can occur during El Niño conditions. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include extreme fatigue, dizziness, muscle cramps, nausea, and excessive sweating. To prevent heat-related illnesses, the DOH recommended wearing light-colored or lightweight clothing, staying hydrated by drinking eight to ten glasses of water daily, and avoiding excessive physical activity during the hottest parts of the day. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the El Niño phenomenon is expected to intensify between September and December 2026 and may continue until the middle of the following year. This forecast aligns with the DOH's warning, as the country prepares for prolonged periods of high temperatures and increased health risks. The public is urged to remain vigilant and take preventive measures to protect themselves and their families from the health impacts of the ongoing El Niño event.

A 26-year-old woman named Kat Murray suffered severe injuries after fainting in a hot shower while battling Influenza A, falling through a glass shower door and sustaining deep cuts to her back. The incident occurred two years ago, and Murray has since become an advocate for taking the flu seriously, emphasizing that it is not merely a minor illness but a serious health threat. Murray initially dismissed her symptoms as a cold, taking the day off work, but her condition worsened, leading her to take a hot shower to warm up. During the shower, she experienced overwhelming nausea and fainted, falling backward into the glass door, which shattered. She described the scene as 'blood everywhere, glass everywhere,' and she was disoriented, not knowing her name or the day of the week. Her partner rushed her to the emergency room, where she waited for four hours in a blood-soaked jersey before receiving treatment. Medical tests confirmed she had Influenza A, and she required eight stitches for a deep gash extending from her shoulder blade to her neck and down her back. The healing process took six weeks, with scars remaining on her back. Dr. Louise Poynton, medical director at Tū Ora Compass Health, explained that hot showers can cause blood vessels to relax, leading to a drop in blood pressure, which increases the risk of fainting, especially for those with fever or dehydration. She stressed the importance of staying hydrated, avoiding sudden movements, and taking time to recover, noting that even healthy individuals may need seven to ten days at home to fully recover from the flu. Hospitalizations for flu and flu-like illnesses have been at 'very high' levels for weeks, with Auckland reporting 10-year highs. Dr. Poynton urged people to stay home when unwell, wear masks, maintain good ventilation, eat nutritious food, get adequate sleep, and consider getting a flu vaccine. Murray's experience highlights the need for public awareness about the seriousness of the flu, particularly among young people who often feel invincible and continue working despite illness. She emphasized that the flu should not be treated as a minor inconvenience but as a systemic threat requiring rest and medical care. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of ignoring flu symptoms and the importance of taking preventive measures.
