Heat stroke is a medical emergency. This happens when we can no longer regulate our body temperature.
Symptoms include; elevated body temp above 104 degrees, rapid and strong pulse or heart rate, loss or change of consciousness, hot, red, dry, or moist skin
Heat exhaustion is less serious.
Symptoms include; general weakness, increased heavy sweating, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting, pale cold clammy skin.
Treatment includes cooling down the body with a cold compress or cool shower, moving into a shady area, hydrating and in the case of heat stroke or when in doubt call 911.
Keep hydrated as much as possible and avoid the peak heat of the day if possible and exercise earlier or later in the day.
Friday I will cover electrolytes which is a huge aid in staying safe in this heat.
