 The article discusses how MDMA (ecstasy) can be dangerous when taken in hot environments, such as nightclubs or outdoor festivals. Research suggests that even moderate doses of MDMA can cause the body's temperature to rise rapidly, leading to heatstroke and potentially fatal consequences. The study found that taking MDMA in hot environments increased the risk of death. Additionally, the drug can interfere with the body's ability to regulate its own temperature, making it difficult to cool down. The researchers warn that people should avoid taking MDMA in hot environments and take regular breaks to cool down.
