Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is a severe heat-related illness characterized by a body temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. It occurs when the body's cooling mechanisms are overwhelmed by a combination of heat and humidity. Symptoms may include confusion, dizziness, headache, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and hot, dry skin. If left untreated, heat stroke can lead to organ damage, coma, or even death. It is considered a medical emergency and prompt treatment is essential to prevent serious complications.
