With a large part of the U.S. sweltering under high temperatures, it’s important to recognize the warning signs of heatstroke and take measures to avoid it. Outdoor workers face a double whammy: lots of exposure to heat while engaging in physical exertion.
Heatstroke occurs when your body overheats due to prolonged exposure or physical exercise during hot conditions. If not treated promptly, heatstroke can damage the major organs and even cause death.
