What is heat stroke? 🌞🌞
Heat stroke happens when you’ve been exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time or participated in a physical activity in high temperatures, which causes your core body temperature to reach 104 degrees F (40 °C) or greater.
Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat injury and is considered a medical emergency. 💥💥
Serious heat stroke can cause organ damage and even death.💀💀
● Symptoms of heat stroke include:●
■ Body temperature of 104 F(40 °C) or higher 🌅🌄🌋
■ Confusion, slurred speech, agitation, and even seizures
■ Skin will feel hot and dry and turn red as body temperature rises
■ Nausea and vomiting
■ Rapid breathing
■ Headache
■ Racing heart beat
♤ Treating Heat Stroke ♤:
☆ Heat stroke can be very dangerous and is a medical emergency.
☆ If you think you or someone you know may have heat stroke, call 911 immediately.
☆ Also, get out of the heat as soon as possible.
☆ Remove clothing and try to cool the person down by using a spray bottle with ice water in it, spray with a cold hose, or get them in a cold bath.
♤ Preventing heat stroke ♤
□ Don’t wear any excess clothing.
□ Too much clothing in hot temperatures hampers your body’s ability to sweat and cool itself down.
□ Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible.
□ Don’t drink alcohol in excess. Drinking too much alcohol can affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature.
□ Drink plenty of fluids while outside and participating in active pursuits.
□ Use sunscreen and wear hats and sunglasses while outdoors.
□ Never leave anyone in a parked car.
