Next weekend the thermometers are expected to reach more than 30 degrees . A much hotter weekend than usual, which coincides with the last weekend before Las Fallas 2023 and, therefore, the one in which mascletaes will be held.
These pyrotechnic shots manage to gather thousands and thousands of people every day in a very small space. No one wants to miss out on the mascletà , and this leads to crowds of people which, together with the heat factor, create a cocktail that is not beneficial for people who frequently suffer from fainting spells .

These pyrotechnic shots manage to gather thousands and thousands of people every day in a very small space. No one wants to miss out on the mascletà , and this leads to crowds of people which, together with the heat factor, create a cocktail that is not beneficial for people who frequently suffer from fainting spells .
Here are steps to take to reduce the risk of fainting :
- Maintain good hydration, especially on the hottest days, when you sweat profusely, or if you play sports. One of the main causes of fainting is dehydration, as it causes blood pressure to drop. It is important not to drink alcohol, since alcoholic beverages dehydrate.
- Avoid closed spaces or spaces where the air does not flow well . Possibly if you are reading this it is because you are a great fan of fallas and pyrotechnic shots, but if you are a person who has suffered an episode of fainting, it is best to find a place to see the mascletà that is as ventilated as possible.
- Try to get up slowly . If you are sitting or lying down, do not get up too quickly, it is better to do it little by little.
- Prevent if you are going to be on your feet for many hours. Someone who is prone to fainting episodes should avoid standing for long hours at a time. This is difficult when you are going to see a mascletà, so a recommendation would be to wear compression stockings, which will help maintain optimal blood pressure.
- Wear hats and fresh clothes . A hat or cap, as well as cool and breathable clothing, help protect you from the sun's rays and, therefore, will make the sensation of heat not so suffocating. A fan can also help maintain optimal wind chill.
- Those people who do not suffer from hypertension can consume foods rich in salt , as they will help prevent fainting.
