Heat Stroke

During the summer, a dangerous condition called heat stroke can affect people. When our body temperature goes beyond 105°F, it can lead to heat stroke.

Heat stroke typically affects elderly people, young children, and individuals with pre-existing health issues more severely.

Heat stroke symptoms

✔ Dizziness
✔ Fainting
✔ Unconsciousness
✔ Seizures
✔ In extreme cases, it can even result in death.

Heat stroke prevention

Drink plenty of water, and eat water-rich fruits and vegetables.
Wear loose, light-colored clothing.
Use hats, umbrellas, or anything that offers shade when stepping outside.
Elderly people should avoid going out during peak heat hours unless necessary.
To monitor the risk of heat stroke, check urine output — if the urine is dark-colored or output is less frequent, it's a sign of dehydration and you should drink more water.
