Our bodies, which create a tremendous
amount of internal heat, are normally cooled through sweating and
radiating heat through our skin. Your body normally cools itself by
sweating. During hot weather, especially with high humidity, sweating
just isn’t enough. Your body temperature can rise to dangerous levels
and you can develop a heat illness.
Most heat illnesses occur from staying
out in the heat too long. Exercising too much for your age and physical
condition are also factors. Older adults, young children and those who
are sick or overweight are most at risk. Drinking fluids to
prevent dehydration, replenishing salt and minerals, and limiting time
in the heat can help.
