Heat Stroke

People in our society love spending time in the sun. From tanning to swimming to just lazing about in the grass, any activity that involves the sun’s rays is becomes very popular as soon as summer hits. But many people fail to understand that with all the glories of the sun, comes a good deal of danger. One of these dangers is heat stroke.

Heat stroke is a form of hyperthermia in which the body experiences abnormally high body temperatures.

The Symptoms

Heat stroke results in a number of physical and neurological symptoms. It is vital that people are aware of the symptoms of heat stroke when they are out in the sun or if they are responsible for children who will be spending a lot of time outdoors.

Symptoms include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Headache
• Muscle cramps and aches
• Dizziness
• Paleness

If heat stroke is not immediately identified and treated, the victim is at risk for suffering from serious injury or even death. Anyone who maintains a public outdoor facility, invites guests over for outdoor activities, or otherwise assumes responsibility for others needs to be educated about heat stroke prevention.
