Heatstroke

Heatstroke is a serious condition that occurs when the body's temperature regulation system fails due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures or intense physical activity in the heat. It causes body temperature to rise above 104°F (40°C), leading to symptoms like hot, dry skin, rapid heartbeat, confusion, and loss of consciousness. If not treated promptly, heatstroke can damage the brain and other vital organs, and can be life-threatening. Immediate cooling measures and medical attention are essential to prevent severe complications and ensure recovery.
