Save Yourself From Heatstroke
Save Yourself From Heatstroke: Heatstroke is when the body temperature rises above 104 degrees internal. At that range, it starts to shut down your internal organs. Heat stroke is a common problem in the summers while staying out for long.
Sweating leads to dehydration when fluid intake is not balanced. Temperatures are expected to rise, and that spells danger for just about everyone who will be spending time outdoors.
Doctors say if you know the warning signs of heatstroke, then you can survive it and perhaps even help someone who is in trouble.
