heat exposure

Heat exposure occurs when the body is subjected to high temperatures, causing it to struggle to maintain a normal internal temperature. Prolonged or intense exposure can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke, which can be serious. Factors like high ambient temperature, humidity, physical activity, and clothing affect how the body manages heat. To prevent issues, it’s important to stay hydrated, take breaks in cool areas, wear appropriate clothing, and be aware of signs like dizziness or heavy sweating. Managing heat exposure helps protect health during hot conditions.
