Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is a serious condition that occurs when the body overheats, usually due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures, often in combination with vigorous exercise. It can happen when the body's temperature regulation fails, leading to a core temperature above 104°F (40°C). Symptoms include confusion, rapid pulse, hot and dry skin, and unconsciousness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to prevent damage to vital organs or even death. Staying hydrated, avoiding extreme heat, and taking breaks during physical activities can help prevent this dangerous condition.
