Is the weather gets warmer, we tend to A spend more time outside under the hot sun. Heat exhaustion starts slowly, but if it's not quickly treated it can progress to heatstroke. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses excessive amounts of water and salt, typically from sweating. On the other hand, heatstroke is a serious medical emergency that occurs when your body is unable to control its internal temperature.
In heat stroke, a person's temperature reaches 105°F (40.5°C) or higher. Heatstroke requires immediate medical care and can be life-threatening if not handled in time.
Tips To Prevent Heatstroke
Drink plenty of water or other cool, nonalcoholic fluids even if you're not thirsty (check with your doctor if you are on limited fluids or fluid pills.) Avoid drinking extremely cold liquids as they can cause stomach cramps.
Reduce activity and avoid exercise in hot weather. If activity is unavoidable, try to schedule it for the cooler part of the day and rest often. Whenever possible, stay indoors or in the shade.
