Heat-Related Illnesses
Heat exhaustion occurs when the body has difficulty cooling itself; dehydration is a main factor of heat exhaustion.
Common heat-related illnesses are heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and heat cramps.
Heat stroke take place when the body's temperature cannot be regulated. The body's temperature rises fast and is unable to cool itself.
Heat cramps are muscle pains and spasms due to heavy activity, it usually involves the stomach muscles or the legs. Heat cramps are the least severe, although, they are often the first signal that the body is having trouble with the heat.
