#Deforestation causes more than 1/3 of the warming experienced by people living in affected regions, in addition to global climate disruption. It has killed >500K people in the tropics over the past 20 years from #heatrelatedillness. It brings humans into #closercontactwithanimals/insects/disease

Heat season is here in the global North. I’ve had four #heatrelatedillness patients on two shifts ,all elderly, all on diuretics.
