Study offers insight on how hot weather impairs the immune system
Researchers have found a link between hot weather and measures of the body's immune response, including levels of certain blood cells and indicators of inflammation. It's a step toward eventually finding treatments that could help protect people from dangerously high temperatures, which have been linked to increased rates of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues. YSPH Professor Judith Lichtman comments on the findings.
